O ring under forearm
« on: September 25, 2005, 03:49:50 PM »
Should the forarm be free floating except where it meet the actoin and the forarm screw? I put a o ring in the forarm the other day but the wood is touching the barrel a little on the left side. It would shoot under an inch before I did this, but have not got to shoot it yet with the o ring been woking 12 hour shifts.

If it shot under an inch I don't know why you would mess with it.  Larry

Some rifles need the o-ring, some dont.  My 45-70 and the boy's 30-30 didn't need it.   But my .22 hornet gained alot by it.

If it shot under an inch before, I would have left well enough alone.
