I will say, this is how I have gotten a fore end to fit, when I've fitted a set of barrels not done at the factory. It isn't intended to 'adjust' an existing, matching fore end. The process of fitting another barrel to a gun is complicated, and the fore end fitting can be as tedious as the barrel fitting. Ive screwed this up more than once, and it can be a major sweaty palm process. I've got 60+ years experience and have had some go on before dinner, and others only after weeks of cursing. The reward is almost never gotten without risks. Also, I only get involved with these projects on stuff I own, and won't touch anyone else's gun.
