Not sure if this helps or not but I think I'd take the stock off & have a look at the bracket & stud it fits on. I'd wonder if the bracket had too large a clearance hole & it allowed the bracket to move too much on the stud, or maybe its bent. I'd also have a look at a parts diagram to see if it needs a locking washer on it & maybe consider a new one too. I'm guessing the bracket is put on fairly firmly first, then the front stock screws alignment checked, the stock removed & then the bracket tightened properly then stock back on & front screws in if it is still aligned ok. The stock fit alignment check should be done with the rear bolt done up as it could well pull the whole action back when done.
As I say not too sure about this. I dont think I'd like to try firing it with anything loose. It will be interesting to see what others think but I'd be rather cautious.
