380 stock play or up and down movement

[DaveShooter]

I noticed I had some stock play or movement up and down. So I checked the trigger assembly as it was as tight as a bug in a rug. Check the stock screws they too were snugged as should be. So I remembered on rifle stocks we used to bed our stocks to give better accuracy. So I took or loosened up and removed stock screws took barrel out of stock after removing front end of bow. And placed some double stick tape and some small foam rubber coated shims one up front on bottom of alum barrel and the other one at rear of alum barrel between hole for 2nd trigger assembly screw. Put alum barrel back in stock and put back in stock screws with some blue loc-tite on stock screw threads- No more up and down wiggle in my stock an alum barrel.
I noticed on the traditional Exo-series 2nd stock screw is at the end of the alum barrel versus the 380 Matrix is right next to the trigger or inside the trigger guard. In which there is no movement on the exomag bow what so ever... I know long and winded-

Sounds like a good fix, it sure can't hurt anything. But on a crossbow it's called a rail and not a barrel,

I do stand corrected on barrel to rail- I should of called it the track the arrows travel down-

Bubba you may have gotten a slight warp in the stock. It does not take much. You made a good fix on it. Sometimes I use a rubber washer on the front and back stock bolts.

Ok.... But it will still be the rail....of the crossbow....

[awshucks]

Lol, either way, the rail or the barrel shouldn't move w/o shims..........

Dang!; I thought it was called the frame. SMF stands for synthetic main frame. Next we can debate if we shoot arrows, bolts or quills.
