Do not need much maybe .010 Any help or thought would be apreciated. Thanks Chris Last edited by ctw; 03/19/20. What you have done is not nearly as important as how you have done it!!!

Degrease everything and coat both sides of shim with Loctite 638. Insert in sight band and put band on barrel. After cure it will be permanent, requiring about 400 deg F. to break down the adhesive.
