like the barrel its self doesnt wobble.. just the barrel adapter moves a bit. but u can't turn it when the front bolts are tightened so i just put teflon tape areound it and it seemed to work...but is there supposed to be an oring around the barrel or barrel adapter cause mine doesnt

I had that problem with my A-5 with a flatline.  The paint wears off of the adapter and you can't tighten the screws enough to hold it.  You can use the tape trick above or what I did was get a large o-ring and place it over the adapter so it presses against the frame and the rear of the flatline.  You could also use some model airplane paint and repaint the worn areas of the adapter to build it up.

ok i tried electrical tape( a single rap) and it after the barrel adapter wouldnt screw in cause it was to big but i used teflon tape and it worked well but what about this o-ring thing were abouts on the adapter does it go?..o ya and by the way my barrel adapter doesnt move side to side it only moves up and down a bit but i would like the barrel to stay still permenently please reply if u have answer.

thanks

just like above use electrical tape and its water proof somewhat. and its cheap.
