The under barrel type is simply a threaded bushing and a set screw, you can adjust the tension on the tuner, some of the fancy ones that are available for purchase have the ability to adjust this point forwards and backwards.

An option for you is a slip collar the variety that are frequently used to hold things on axles. You could put on on the barrel and experiment with location of the mass and see if it helps it.

But in the end its a papoose.

These are not the variety of gun that a barrel tuner will be likely to improve. your best bet is to try to not put force on the barrel when you shoot and allow it to be free to respond the same each shot.

Extra weight on its lock up, or force on the stock to the barrel probably will be inconsistant and not likely to improve anything.

If you want to get a more accurate marlin look into the 7000, or a bolt action.

 

I have heard that thin barrels (like the Papoose) work great w/ tuners?

I am also just trying to add weight to the gun....so I can hold it steady.

The Papoose is a free floating barrel....I hear tuners work best w/ them also?

I never touch the barrel when shooting.

I took off the front sight today (it was loose anyway)....I'm thinking of just slipping a piece of 9/16 ID steel pipe over it....trying different lengths. The Papoose is capable of some good accuracy!

 

I found a piece of 1/2" ID steel water pipe @ Home Depot....slips right over the barrel of my Papoose (w/ a little electrical tape wrapped around the barrel).
I'm going to start w/ it 2 1/2" long....as I'm also looking to add weight to the barrel for stability holding the rifle still while shooting.

 

If you can find some thick aluminum stock, split the side. Drill and tap for one or two screws. One should be enough. then when it slips over the barrel, you simply move it forward ot rearward until you find the sweet spot., then tighten it down. I don't know what it would be at HD that would be aluminum, with a hole in it and about an inch or two inches long. The reason I say aluminum, is you don't need a lot of weight, and something that won't rust, the edges can be polished easlity so as not to scuff the barrel, and easy to frill and tap. Brass would also work.

 

If you didn't want to add weight and just 'dampen' the barrel vibrations....wouldn't a piece of rubber hose work just as well then?
Like a piece of auto heater hose?

 

Look in sporting goods...

Find a tennis racket handle wrap made from shock absorbing material (some are, some aren't) and wrap it around the barrel midway between the end of the barrel and the forend. Create a fusiform or football shaped bulge about 2 1/2 or 3 inches long and approximately twice the thickness of the barrel. Secure it with electrician's tape, keeping the tape from touching the barrel. You may have to adjust the position, but this tightened my groups by .5 inch at 100 yds. with my 925m .22mag Marlin. When people ask me what it is, I tell 'em I broke my barrel off and taped it back on. Some ask me if it hurt the accuracy any. LOL

 

Sims labratory the makers of the rubber butt pads called Limb Savers has a slip on barrel deresonator made of the same material. It cost $13.99 from Natchez Shooters Supply. 1 800 251-7839.

That sounds like the simplest solution. Thomas.

 

bughole tuner

do a goggle seach ,it is about 20.00 dollars worked for me

 

I believe the bughole tuner might be difficult to install on this gun...

 

Hello, everyone I myself was wondering the same thing. So this what I did. I shoot a precision 22. So after some research and looking on how a such device was made. Some of them actually screw on to barrel and the more u turn the weight the more it hangs ofd the barrel. Some with very small increments. I've seen as low as 5oz for weight which is still quite a bit. So this what i did! I have a .22 muzzle brake with three small holes on the top with 3 or 4 futes on each side. This is the type that needs be timed. So.. First thing I did was drilled the top holes all the threw the muzzle brake. Then with titanium step bit I opened all the holes much larger like 4 times the original size. The reason for this was so that the device had zero effect on recoil! Each hole was precisely drilled to the same exact size. Using a digital micromitor then i made each hole ŵith a 2mm resest. Then I also opened up the bore end about 1/2 a side larger and recest that as well. Then I accuracy made a small crown so the opening of the hole couldn't get damaged, like a barrel is. So the muzzle now has zero effect on recoil non whatsoever!! After doing all this I used a small file to remove and tiny burs..polished it with 2k grit sand pr same with the jam nut. After weighing it comes in at 3oz 3.2oz with the jam nut. I feel 3.2oz on the end of stainlees/ carbon fiber barrel is more than adequate. So I screwed the device on all the way jam nut first of course. 1/4" turn and lock it down. Went out my local range and shot a few shots to acclimate the rifle for some cheap Remington GB bolk ammo. Which a friend game me a brick, so what the heck, I'll try it. Three shot groups at 100yds. Nothing special really maybe 1" groups. So another 1/4 turn and not to much different from the first group. Then I turned another 1/4 turn out and things started happening! Same cheap a... ammo i was getting 1/4 to punching holes at 100yds. So this proved to me 8that even though my tunner has holes it still a weight at the end of your barrel. Now I'm shooting .22 and 3.2 oz is more than enough for such a small round. It proves to me that my DIY barrel tuner works. And it looks cool! I'm sure the same can be done for a higher caliber rifle!
Sorry, I couldn't upload any pics.

 

Gotta look at the intended use and design of the gun. It is not designed to be very accurate, and is not known to be by most reviews. It may be helpful in a survival situation, but is not practical for much else to the majority of shooters.

That is what the Marlin 795 is for and why I bought it instead of the Papoose. It won't fit in a backpack, but is very accurate with good ammo.

 

When I first started shooting I didn’t have the money to throw into a barrel tuner,
so I knew I needed to add a some weight and be able to slide it up or down the barrel .
so I had a roll of lead solder so I wrapped it in a coil off the roll onto the barrel held in place by some black tape till I found the sweet spot and then wrapped it completely with black tape to blend it in and of course give people something to talk about while I counted my winnings lol
