Avoiding barrel droop — our engineering
Barrel droop is prevented through precise geometry and a resistance-fit mortise-and-tenon. We maintain a uniform tenon diameter 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 against the receiver and is 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 install. • 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 when switching ammo. • Cleaning: Keep the chamber clean but avoid excessive bore scrubbing — typical bore-clean interval ~500 rounds (varies by ammo).
