So, creating a pressure point, about an inch to 1 1/4" long, at the front of the forearm[B][I] may[/I][/B] help dampen barrel harmonics. 7lbs or upward pressure[B] max[/B]. not bed the entire length of the barrel. While in gunsmith school, during stockmaking (44 weeks of stockmaking) the instructor was a 'believer' in the pressure point on those light weight barrels. It (the pressure point) could always be removed easily, if desired. [/QUOTE]
