Avoiding barrel droop — our engineering
Barrel droop is prevented through precision geometry and a resistance-fit mortise-and-tenon. We hold the tenon diameter uniform along its length and make the tenon slightly larger than the receiver mortise so the barrel seats tightly and consistently. The shoulder between the .920" contour and the tenon is machined as a clean step (not a ramp), so the barrel sits flush and fully supported. With correct fitment, v-block screws only need to be snug (~10 in-lb) — enough to prevent forward movement without distorting alignment.
Installation & break-in tips
• Inspect: Remove paint/debris from the receiver mortise before installation. • Lubricate: Apply a light anti-seize compound to the tenon to ease installation. • Seat: Start the tenon into the mortise, align the extractor slot, then gently tap the rear of the receiver with a rubber mallet until seated. • Torque: Tighten v-block screws to ~10 in-lb — snug, not crushing. • Break-in: Run two magazines through the barrel before evaluating groups; repeat after changing ammo brands. • Cleaning: Keep the chamber clean but avoid excessive bore scrubbing — typical bore-clean interval ~500 rounds (varies by ammo).
