Is here a good fix for the forearm screws for this beast? I LOVE the barrel and shooting this thing. The only problem is the force of shooting causes the screws to bend on the forearm, and they come loose on the barrel. Is there an adapter kit or something that accounts for this?

You don't say if it's a wood forend or plastic - Probably doesn't matter. Newton's law on inerita in action.

The only thing I can come up with is pillar bedding the screws for support.

To keep them from coming lose during the shooting session put some fingernail polish on them the night before.


Honestly, I have all the barrels I want or could ever need..... wait, look, there's another!!
