What is the advantage of shimming the bolt .
Trying to get all the info on this 77/22 that has been a good shooter .
But want to make better
Sear is next
 
Not sure how it is done but it sounds like it could put things in a bind and binding is normally not good for accuracy.
That being said if the shimming helps accuracy over a statistically valid number of groups do it.

If your head space is on the loose side shim it to bring it in spec

The shims cut out my flier issue.
Mine is a used All-Weather with an adjustable sear and I’ve added a temporary trigger stop. Gun will now hang with premium rifles, but the stock is more flexible than I’d prefer.

Unknown, it was in place when I purchased it. I’d have to dig it outta the safe, but I believe it’s adjustable by removing the bolt from the receiver rather than taking off the stock.
