How does one tighten up a barrel just a bit

Post by walkers77 »

Barrel is off a wee bit when i snug it up. Causing the he dovetail slots to be off just a touch. Is there a way to fix this?

Need more info on the whole package. Is this a takedown model, or is this a gun you just screwed a new barrel onto? Please be specific, as it's impossible to answer without all the info of what you have, and what you're doing.
