O-ring trick

What exactly is this oring trick i am hearing about? I don't understand it. Where does it go under the forearm and how does it work...Just tell me everything on it because i don't understand. Does it make the gun more accurate?

The 'O' ring trick won't do a thing for a shotgun. It has been shown to help rifle accuracy in many instances.  The 'O' ring goes around the forearm mounting lug on the barrel.

The O-ring trick can work on shotguns shooting rifled slugs.  I put one on my son's tracker II, and it did tighten the groups somewhat.

the oring trick can help slug guns and rifles. get an oring or piece of thick rubber, put beween the forearm and the stud to float the barrel. this should create a gap between the barell and forearm that you can slide a business card between. the screw should be tightened the same number of turns every time to keep it consistant. you may also need to sand out the barell channel slightly on the forearm.

:oops:  Sorry,  was thinking bird shot, slugs hadn't  entered my mind for some reason.  I guess the 'o' ring trick could help with slug groups like it does  rifles.
