wow i have a light 308 and a bull 223 barrels i just got back from fitting!chamber polished with jb, jb polished both bores to smooth out the tooling marks and speed up break-in, dura zee alloy rings on factory rails, i have a separate forend for each barrel(my 500S&W has its own too) today i scored a box of flat head machine 1/4 -20 1/2 long screws with a 7/32 allen head so now i can accurately torque my forend screw with my inch-lb torque wrench. I think i found the perfect o-rings! they are a nice 1/8 thick high durometer rubber they are air conditioner seals from work! and they are orange! lol harder to loose.
