    Hmmm, para 37 says to me see that the barrel groove is free from the barrel seating under the reinforce to approximately .5-inch to the rear of the inner band recess, the barrel is free from.... the barrel seating under the reinforce to .5 inch before the inner band recess.... I would assume anywhere not mentioned would be seated to the barrel.... 41 adds the confirmation of the nosecap contact as Bruce described. First time I had seen it written.

    Digging deep into the nuts and bolts of this stuff is fun... Wish I had the resources of others, but will add anything I find on the topic after some more digging


    I have a trainer with the MkI style nosecap, will dig it out and check it over tomorrow

    I also have some hand written notes from an armourer to look through too....

    Regards,
    Brad
