Wood can warp as you found out. However that fix is not something I would do. The typical way to glass bed a rifle is to either glass the entire action or the action plus about 2" of the barrel This stabilizes that entire section of the stock and reenforces it too.In that process you may scrape away wood under the receiver and of course you would scrape away wood in the forend channel to free float the barrel. The barrel channel should also be varnished to prevent moisture problems. It looks like the smith took short cuts .Do it properly and accuracy and stability will be there forever.......Welcome to the forum !!
