Did you measure your parts in relationship to your barrel before pressing?

The barrel should be .001 - .002 larger than the trunnion.
Use anti-seize compound before you press it in Make sure the barrel is perfectly vertical and the press is level Look and see if the barrel is clearing the rivets. Check out the Forbus barrel tools. Can't beat them. That's all I got, good luck. |
