If you've had the same misfortune as I and picked up a barrel assembly only to have the barrel come sliding out of the shroud and slam into another shroud or gun and dinging it, here's my quick fix to avoid a reocurrence - slip a tight fitting o-ring over the barrel threads. It will hold the barrel in the shroud and prevent a lot of heartaches.

Good tip.

BTW, I'm still working on my "genius title" (40+ years & counting) and subsequent ACME autographed plaque direct from the corporate CEO.

Can I borrow someone's Model 41 8" VH barrel and shroud in order to test this???

All my "Good" spares get covered in oil and then wrapped in Saran wrap. Keeps them in good shape and prevents the slide-out problem.

Sorry Ron, Mine have all been thoroughly tested already.
I wish I knew where to get those little expandable plastic tubes that DW uses to prevern this. I would put one on every extra barrel assemble I own.

Ouch is right - that's exactly what I said! Shoot's saran wrap is a good idea too.
Zoom - are you referring to the mesh protective sleeving? I was considering buying a roll of this as well. You can get it here at McMaster Carr. I have a couple pieces of the red elastic mesh - it fits well for most shrouds.

Chargerfan - good luck on the plaque - I hope you get it soon!
And Ron, mine have been "tested" as well! but it works!

My idea (well new to me) which I already shared with Eric is for either or both the plastic and or AL end caps. (plastic caps migh slip on and AL caps would screw on)
I store my barrels separate from the shrouds. Can't ding what dont touch.
I do store my 8" barrel and shroud in a single fishing tackle little box, covered in chamios.
To further my idea. have the AL cap have a rubber gromet and a place to hold an anti-moisture capsule/rod. Living in MS, that would be crazy nice.
Even more, since Eric can completely customize a barrel ( different twists) we need to be able to identify such.
1/12 -green band/cap
1/16 - yellow band/cap
1/14 - red band/cap
Soap Box, Ballot Box, Ammo Box
in that order.

My one extra barrel/shroud is kept in a Bore Store for TC barrels.

IHMSA80x80, that looks like a pretty cool solution. Looks like the case for small and medium knives would work great.

If you Google "roll up tool pouch" you find items like this:
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
