Otherwise PFTE tape would be ideal. That stuffs really thin. Otherwise, maybe something putty like, blu tac maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could try it, but I don't think it would fit because the space is like 2 micron, a little bigger than a hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my rifle inner barrels have a small bit of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted February 24, 2021 Supporters Share Posted February 24, 2021 does the barrel poke out beyond the muzzle? if so then an o-ring might sit between the flash hider and the barrel to hold it steady. although by the sounds of it the gun would need to be practically perfect in every other regard for that to really be a notable difference.

Steveocee Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 PTFE is your friend, stretch it out, wrap it round then force it in with the might of the gods. Will be stronger than the smell of joop on a 14 year old chav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
