sat down to watch a movie last night(eagle-eye) and got my pile of parts out. took some peel type shim material i have in an 8x8 sheet. made some 2in squares and cut them into a ring. added them one at a time, they are about 5 thousanths thick. added four and got the barrel to align hand tight. i am going to add 1 more and torque the assy. if successful i think this would solve the problem. I am later going to have a friend machine a solid shim ring to use for the permanent mount. does it sound like i am in the right ballpark? thanks for the help. cw
