Fair enough, now why do people replace them?

Rkillion said:Ok, had an issue, the barrel came loose from the receiver... I guess mine is solid. Oh well going to find a mil style suppressor. The kind with the ring that fits over the birdcage.
But I got lucky and I was able to put the barrel back into place.

Thank You

DarthJim said:Either of those will work. The only difference between them is the length/pattern, so it's up to your preference in which to buy. Just remember, they go on very tight, and the set-screw isn't really needed if put on tight enough. Use a mallet or a hammer with some leather on it to pound it onto the end of the barrel. I tried using the set screw but it just stripped (if you're insistent upon using the set screw, I'd recommend using a different screw all together or at least using a different allan key to tighten it as the one that comes with it tends to strip it quite easily).

Mine stripped the first time i put it on (black one) i cut a slot in it and ive been using it that way since i got it but i decided to get a replacement. Hobbytown has alot of little screws and parts for R/C cars and most are pretty good quality little parts. They use titanium and good quality steel and aluminum parts. I wasnt sure if they would have one that would fit and be the same threads and everything but they did. $.10 cents each.
I picked up 4 so i have 3 extras if anyone needs one fire me a PM with an address ill tape one to some paper and shove it into an evelope and drop it in the mail box for ya. I figured at 10 cents ide get a couple extras fo anyone else that stripped theirs out.
I believe the tool im using to tighten them is a 2.5mm and the screw is a 3mm? not for sure though.

You may or may not know this but if you can drill a small indentation into the barrel where the set screw rests it will stay much more secure. I had to do this with my 10/22 as it would keep working loose.
