Over torqe on the center screw will pull the center of the action down, putting a lot of stress on the action.
I hope that your son did not use a stainless steel brush on the bore, if he did, your barrel is ruined.
One cleaning will not ruin the bore if the rod is rubbing the bore.
Your magazine box should be loose between the floor plate and the action, may take a bit of filing.
Sounds like there is a bind and the action is not sitting flush in the stock and perhaps the recoil lug is not seated flush against the stock.
I'm just guessing here since I don't have the rifle in my hands.
Good luck!
Thanks, this will give me some things to look for as well as other sugestions. That would make since that somthing is binding. I will see if I can get away from the grind and take a look soon.
