I just got a Supermatch M1A. I bought it used and I have a quick question. I have some knowledge of free-floating a Barrel and the effects of a barrel NOT being free-floated. On my Supermatch the Gas cylinder assembly lip is tight against the front stock ferrell. Thus rendering the barrel NOT free-floated. When I squeeze the barrel and the stock there is a space but when I let it go the barrel springs up and the lip catches the Stock Ferrell. Is that right? Or should the barrel float with a space between the Stock ferrell and the gas cylinder assembly lip? I would think it should float and perhaps someone didn't put the barreled action in the stock properly. I'd rather not remove it from the stock as I understand that damages the bedding... But if it's not put together right I need to fix it ASAP. Hopefully someone can clue me in.
Thanks in advance,
John
