Fitment & avoiding barrel droop

Barrel droop is caused by an insecure or inconsistent tenon/shoulder fit. We eliminate droop with:

• A precise fit between tenon and receiver, with a consistent diameter along the tenon length.
• A precisely machined shoulder with a relief cut to allow the shoulder to seat flush against the receiver providing full support.

When properly fitted, v-block screws only need to be snug (~10 in-lb) — tight enough to prevent forward movement without distorting alignment.

Installation tips

• If using another brand of receiver clean paint/build-up from the receiver mortise before installing.
• Apply a light coat of grease to the tenon to ease installation—use sparingly.
• Begin inserting the tenon while aligning the extractor slot. Tap the rear of the receiver with your palm; if resistance increases, use a rubber mallet to fully seat.
• Recheck extractor alignment by matching the level of the receiver’s bottom flat with the barrel’s v-block cutout.
• Run two magazines through the barrel before evaluating groups, and repeat when changing ammunition brands.
• Keep the chamber clean but avoid over-cleaning the bore—excessive cleaning can reduce accuracy. Typical bore cleaning interval~ every 500 rounds, depending on ammo
