Thanks, I expect it to be tricky. When Gale McMillan was alive, he wrote me a letter reference barrel harmonics of a factory barrel, and how the use of a pad, or pressure pad, could tame the harmonics of that factory barrel, vs free floating, like common with a match barrel. In addition, the taper of that FW contour, may cause some issue, if it sits on a pad ahead of the receiver. An option I considered was to put a pressure pad at the tip, with maybe a few pounds upward push.

Not trying to be lazy, but the thought of juggling all those options to find the sweet spot, plus load work, keeps the project on hold.
