I bought a 22 cal, 500 smooth twist barrel for my FX dreamline tact
I then purchased a carbon barrel sleeve, the sleeve was a tight fit, seems pretty secure,
then I put the two barrel spacers on the end of the barrel and a small shot of glue to hold them in place
then put on the shroud .
am I in effect going in the wrong direction with installing the barrel spacers, would the barrel be better off with no support on the end
with the carbon sleeve in place, completely free floating inside the shroud.
question is coming up because when out hunting a few times I've dinged the end of the shroud on something
and worried It may be enough to move the shroud and affect the interior barrel, should the carbon sleeve be replacing those spacers out right?
