    What deviations would happen with an otherwise correctly set up standard barrel if the inner band ot the front spring set up were left out?
    Thanks

    On the right side of Australia, below the middle and a little bit in from the edge.

    Without having done the shooting to prove or disprove... It would depend on the condition of the rifle's bedding before the bits were removed.

    The inner band and barrel centering stud and spring were originally intended to reduce the effect a warping foreend would have on zero/ accuracy.

    From Muffer's info above, you can see what different incorrect pressures did...

    If the rifle was set up as intended, as I understand, both the inner band and the barrel centering stud did nothing- so removing them would do nothing.

    Conversely, if the foreend had "walked" a little from where it was intended and the inner band and or the barrel centering stud had been brought into play to help dampen effects on the rifle's zero, then removing them would likely cause major movement of POI and possibly accuracy too.

    Here's hoping I haven't messed this up....
