Stocks, barrels, accuracy and accurizing.
Just so we have some reality into this.......... Dad has always said that there are many k31's that work very well with the preloaded stock, but the stock has to be a stable stock. Sometimes improper storage will cause a stock to apply pressure in the wrong direction, and those rifles are the main reason for our using spacers to accurize our rifles. We never, ever remove wood.
Another way is to change the lug shim, but one again, if the stock puts pressure left or right on the barrel, then that may not help much. When he said that every rifle in the armoury is set up with his accurizing technique, that doesn't mean that yours must be. It's just like reloading. There are many ways to get to a great end result, not just his way. It works for us based on the stock/barrel relationship of our rifles.
Check your forestock. Is the blackened area only straight down on the bottom. or does is show an uneven area of dark wood to the left, right or the upper foregrip? And don't forget that the flanges on the front ring must be tight and solid. The stock should not be flopping around when fired.
Do what works best for you, and it might be that your k31's preloaded stock is perfectly fine.
