Better Fitting Barrel Bands
« on: September 15, 2003, 08:58:11 AM »
Where can I find better fitting barrel bands for my Winchester Big Bore 94s?  The Timber Carbine and Black Shadow I have both share a 'quality problem' in that the barrel bands don't fit tightly.  You can see ample amounts of daylight between the barrel and the barrel bands and the forestocks shoot loose after not too many rounds.  Where can I find better fitting barrel bands for these 94s?  Thanks.  Mikey.

Have local gunsmith glue shims inside barrel band until it takes up the slack.
