I picked up an H&R .308 break action rifle that came with a spare .223 barrel allegedly fitted to the receiver. The .308 barrel is a rock solid fit with no play, the .223 barrel has some play after putting the forend on and has a lot of play when the forend is off.
So, the fit isn't good and I'm not interested in returning the whole gun because the .308 fit is perfect. The only fix I can think of is to shim the mating surface(s) of the barrel and receiver with some steel or brass shimstock.
Thoughts and advice?
