« on: January 16, 2010, 04:03:36 AM »
I just finished changing out the stock and forend on one of my handi's from wood to synthic.now i have noticed side to side movement with the barrel when closed.the forend dosen't fit up tight  to the frame like the factory one did.So here is the?????? Do i need to change back to wood or shim the barrel. lock up is tight.no up or down movement just side to side.

recommend you check the FAQ's section on barrel fitting.....i'd use the "feeler gauge method" you'll find in there to see what'a going on there with your gun......

It needs to be shimmed or fitted better, there should be no movement when the action is closed, the forend can make a loose barrel seem tight when installed. A little movement at the breech end of the barrel equates to a noticeable change in POI at 100yds, so inaccuracy results if the barrel isn't in the same position each it locks up.

Yes, the .0015" will work, but are the increments .005" or .0005"? Usually they increase in size .001" which are what you want.
