Hi guys,

I'm new to the site and have a technical question about the front barrel band. I recently acquired a very nice 03/a3 and went through my normal cleaning process. When reassembling I noticed that the forward barrel band and hand guard were a little loose. I' not sure if this is a design measure so the barrel has some float or if it is supposed to be tight. Any help would be appreciated.
