PS - I have around 60 rifles with full-length stocks and often use a neoprene, not rubber, O-ring installed just behind the muzzle to insure that whatever contact the barrel has at that point is cushioned and has consistent pressure.


Do you put the whole O-ring in flat with glue? What size O-ring do you use? Thanks!


I use whatever size O-ring is in sync with the barrel diameter, but smaller/thinner is better.

Remove the barreled action from the stock, put the 0-ring around the barrel, install the barreled action back into the stock, The pressure between the barrel and stock will keep the O-ring in place without any adhesive. You may need to move the O-ring forward or backward on the barrel to find the sweet spot. When you get the O-ring where you want it, you can cut it a at the stock line and nobody but you will know that it is there.

I have found that installing the O-ring cuts down on fliers and although I may be in the minority, I don't like fliers.
