Another Project - Probably not Necessary
As some of you know I am trying to get a Renegade to shoot PRB's at all ranges like an inline with a 3x9 scope on it.
Last week I stripped the rear sight off the gun and installed a tang mounted Lyman peep site. It certainly did help my shooting. But when I got home stripped the barrel out of the stock and cleaned I got to 'thinking' (and yes that can be aproblem for me). since the rear sight is no longer attached to the barrel, when I put this barrel back in the stock how do I know that it will be exactly in the same place it was when I zeroed the gun? It probably will be but I was not happy with probably.
So today I decided I would bed the front of the barrel so that it does have to go back in the same place each time. I also decded that I would use the method that a lot of Ruger #1 shooters do and a method that I saw Cascadedad use on his Neff. I was going to use Blue RVT to provide stability and also somewhat of a recoil (harmonic) cushion.
So on went the project... Tonight it looks like it was a success. When the barrel is inserted into the tang, then down into the stock ond the bed and the wedge pin is installed - there is no movement side to side or up and down at all - can not wait to try it...
Don't uall laugh to loud... Semi must have a rule to cover this...

You already know the answer sabotloader. Heck yeah there's a rule. It's the "If it ain't broke, fix it anyway" rule, followed by the "what can it hurt?" corollary.
Such activities are watched closely by the opposing muzzle loading gods Dangitworks and Thatsabummer.

I am actually going to look at applying this type procedure on the Triumph also - just have not had time to study the possibilty yet.
I am really thinking it might work to dampen harmonics - especially in that thin barreled Triumph.
