Use lithium grease on the threads (and on the "O" ring) and make sure the sight screw and front grip screw are loose before screwing the barrel into place. |

You could also try loosening the screws around where the barrel screws in. ------------- NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil. |

This happened to my brothers garbage BT-16 barrel kit. Im not quite
sure what happens, but I think that all barrels need to wear in their
O-Ring, so they dont end up in the same position. This happened to my
Teardrop (very little but still happened), but i dont care cause theres
nothing cosmetic on it.
