G'day bladeracer,
"Setting up -- as it was done in the day", normally involves altering the characteristics of the rifle from factory, as such this is considered accurising whether any part is truly modified or not and is prohibited by the rules. If 1959 just wants to make his rifle shoot better, fine, lots of good info on that, but he will not be able to shoot a comp with us after doing so. You would need to define exactly what you mean by "setting up", if it means floating, not permitted, if it means corking, like one of my Fultons No4's even though it is invisible externally, also prohibited, any trigger work whatsoever, not permitted, action shimming not permitted. The only thing you can do is re-new the draws if the action has come off the draws or there is uneven recoil pressure signs, or re-new the crown, even out the contact pressure of the fore-end to the socket, That's about it. Every other modification/alteration puts the rifle into H Class (Accurised). Cheers.
