Today I disassembled my No.8 for the first time in quite a few years. Although it had been shooting very well, I noticed that the barrel is bearing pretty hard on one side of the channel so I've got a little work to do. The user manual states that the barrel should bear straight down with 3-5 lb. of pressure, but I think I remember an old discussion about it being free floating. Can someone clarify this? With such a thick barrel I wonder if it would make much difference either way.
