Thread: rifle change / load/ no bumps etc

Yep, been caught with suppressor bush issue - some times touching bbl, recently myself. Bought a REM model 7, came with a DPT suppressor. During load dev found it would throw 1 shot out of 3 wide or high or low. Real random, 2 shots touching then 3rd one 2 or 3 inch away. After going thru the usual list of suspects & ruling them out I happened to notice the suppressor was slip it of alignment with barrel & the bush clearance was bigger on one side than the other. Measuring the bbl OD and bush ID there was a total clearance of about 0.7mm. Replaced the bush with one out of another DPT that gave a clearance of 2mm total in diameter, problem solved. I think with original tight bush and a slight out of alignment it’s was occasionally touching bbl, giving fliers.
