Thanks, good video. Ever figure out what caused the 100 yard targets to open up so far?

Not sure. Could just be the ammo. Might need to try some more match grade at 100yards

@elfster1234 You may want to try taping the sides of the VBlock also. I did this to mine to be absolutely sure everything stays as consistent as possible. I used 2 layers on each side and now it slides in firmly and is dead solid. Great video!

While what you did improved the accuracy, I don't agree that it was the right way to go about it. There are small protrusions molded into both sides of the receiver channel that mate into small pockets milled into the receiver sides. I believe the reason these rifles are having accuracy issues is because these points are not firmly mating together to hold the rear of the receiver solidly in the stock. Instead, as you found, the rear of the receiver is wobbling on the block that contains the magazine catch due to tolerance stacking. What you did was minimize the movement of that block, and hence the rear of the receiver, but you also raised the receiver even farther out of the stock ensuring that the stock cannot mate directly with the receiver as intended. The proper fix in my opinion is to bed the contact points at the sides of the receiver.

Does anyone know if normal duct tape could work? I went out and tried to find foil tape everywhere today and couldnt find squat... everywhere was “sold out”

 

[Snoooy]

Probably....but the metal would not compress..

I used Scotch 3311 foil tape. I found it on Amazon.

I don't have a rpr but bought the gf one in 17 hmr last Valentine's day. I tried about everything with tape but didn't have long term consistent results until I epoxy bedded the lugs you are referring to.
