Worst of all it would come off in my hand while shooting. As I recall it needed some fitting on both the front and back of the forend lug of that set of barrels.

I had the exact same problem. I had my BIL who is a gov’t certified aircraft welder TIG some material to the front of the tip of the lug and I dressed it and the rear of the lug with a fine diamond file to a perfect fit.
