We have a new teammate who just picked up an unfired Armisport M1842 with bayonet off of Gunbroker.
The fitment of the front barrel band is astonishingly bad. There is about 3/16th inch gap between the barrel and the barrel bands.
My first thought was that the wood was shaved too much. But the step on the rear barrel band is bearing against the top side of the stock, so it can't sink lower, really.
Perhaps the barrel channel was cut too deep? But then I would expect the barrel to be floating off the stock (it isn't).
I'm not sure how to correct this. Any ideas?
