To compliment DairyBoys good suggestion-
remove the barrel shroud. Remove the cheek rest. Look at the way the barrel enters the block. If it looks cocked(fighting) or misaligned to the left or right, then that blow to the carpet pulled the barrel out a bit. If you look at Ernest’s video it shows him taking the barrel off. Do not pull yours off unless it is misaligned, and if it is, just loosen the two grub screws on top like Ernest did, and gently fit the barrel onto the block as it should be, then re tighten the grub screws. Don’t go gorilla on the screws, as this is steel onto brass ok.
meanwhile, role your barrel shroud on a piece of glass, to check to see if it is still aligned.
