It is for free floating the barrel. I have found that rubber washers work best. I get them at home depot for less than 10 cents a piece and they make a huge difference. All of my barrels will shoot noticably better with the barrel free floated by the washers.

HOW BIG IS THE WHOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WASHER ?

Its easiest to assemble if they are just big enough to hold the fore end screws in place while you are holding the foreend upright. I use o rings and a metal washer but the theory is the same. Eliminate contact between the barrel and fore end.
