Title: Barrel might not be lined up with transfer port?
Post by: Railbuggy on July 02, 2014, 01:50:14 PM

Apon inspection of the barrel crown on my new Disco, the crown looks ok but the barrel flat looks to be dropping on the left side a little. With one eye I might be wrong but I need to check this out. >:(

The transfer port should keep the barrel lined up, assuming it's installed properly.... The first thing I would do is loosen the barrel setscrews and try wiggling the barrel in rotation in the breech to center it, then retighten the setscrews.... It is possible the muzzle flat is just machined off kilter....

Thanks Bob. The barrel was tight and I had my neighbor look at it. He said it looked level to him.
