what i mean by cork trick is removing the wood at the end of the barrel and putting pieces of cork under the barrel ) only at the nose cap) and put the wood back on. the cork hold the barrel in place and improves your accuracy.cut and shape the cork so it fits tight, i heard of a few people that did it and it improved accuracy by a good bit, and i was going to confirm it before i try it.

I've wondered if a soft rubber or firm foam rubber lined barrel channel would deadend
barrel vibrations.

I've actually put some on mine.

I haven't gotten the chance to do any shooting lately, but I'll tell you if I think it helps at all.

[WW2Junkie]

I've been wondering about this too. Am looking forward to hear what you think of it Ferroflame.

[TinCan Assasin]

I didn't use cork, I used cardboard. It did help considerably. Look in my thread "Shimming the Reciever"

I'll be sure to let everyone know whenever I get the chance to do some shooting!

I'm sure there are rubber compounds that would'nt burn, smoke.

Louis the Mosin Kahuna swears by the silicon rubber sealing compound used in bathrooms for use in bedding Mosins. I'm going to try it on Natasha the next time Louis and I can get together at the range; I want someone who knows what he's doing to surpvise me when I apply it.

If your going to use silicon sealer, then use the high temp stuff from the Auto supply stores. If you want to float your barrel then that is another story. Shimming the receiver is the way to do that. Small brass and tin shims will allow the barrel to not come in contact with the forearm thus let the barrel move freely somewhat, after each shot is taken. I use a dollar bill to slide under my Mosin barrels and when it will slide from rear band spring to front band spring without catching, then she is good to go. There information on line about doing this, do some searching, and you'll find it. If I had a camera, I take a photo or two of my Finns to show where the shims go. You'd be surprized how much this will do for a Mosin's grouping!
