[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1325842, member: 50867"] OK, now I understand. If you have a barrel channel in the stock that is too small for the bull barrel you simply need to do some work to open up the channel so that the "bull barrel" has adequate clearance from stock fore end interference. Some shooters use the "slip a dollar bill between the barrel and stock to make sure the barrel isn't touching the stock" but I'm not satisfied that that's enough clearance. If I can't slip a folded over piece of plain printer paper along the channel without binding on the barrel there isn't (IMO) enough clearance. I come from the school that says if you want to free float a barrel it would be better to cut off the fore end of the stock than to risk having it drag on the stock at any point. [/QUOTE]
