Getting it just right how?

Is it popping off when you push it on?

[bigboy1220]

yes, it pops off when it is fired. I think it should snap on with more authority. Thanks Jted

Yep, had one like that and had spare parts so I just swapped the springs out and it worked.

Was thinking about it afterwards and I think just bending that spring either up or down would either make it a tighter fit or loosen it.

It's a 50 50 chance but something I'd try before ordering or trying to find another one.

There is a triangle tab just forward of the spring I adjusted that to tighten up 2 new forarm irons and one old 22 hornet forarm that I put on a 20 ga It fit well with no other fitting required. It seems the barrel lug touches the tab. I tried to post a picture but could not figure it out With out making all my pictures public.
MAD DOG I don't know if this is what you meant but It got me thinking again. Thanks Jted
