I "marine tex" the forend tip about 1 1/2 inches back from the forened tip which supports the barrel on all 3 sides which is important to prevent forend wobble as Mule deer said.
I tighten the forend screw after applying the marine tex to about 1 1/2 turns off max tight to provide some latitude to fine turn the barrel harmonices if needed.
I preform the same process to my T/C barrels as well...it sure works. I have the targets to prove it.
