    Overbarrel Suppressor Rear Bush fit

    So a few questions for the experts (and any others!)
    How tight a fit should the rear bush be? Is it just a locator to help keep the suppressor
    centred and keep undue sideways pressure off the main thread? Would a tight rear bush
    (keep it clean please!) have an effect on barrel whip and therefore accuracy?

    Thanks.

    Does tend to tell me that using a chainsaw file's marginal but doesn't answer my questions :-)
    turner nz - mine are DPT as well.

    That's the one I was thinking of . . .

    I would think that you could happily fire an overbarrel without the bushing.
    when I have drilled ones out I go for a diameter a smidgen larger than the barrel so it is a touch fit with it's job being to locate the suppressor.
    I tight fit could affect the harmonics of a barrel.

    Hopefully DPT will appear and give his thoughts.
