    I have recently removed the barrel band and free floated the barrel on my new BLR .308. Does anyone have any anecdotal evidence that removal of the barrel band improves the accuracy of the rifle? Also, with just the one screw holding the hand guard on, would it be OK to still use the sling attachment forward of that screw to carry the rifle?

    Well, it’s been a month. I guess no one else has tried it. But I’m guessing you did, how did it work?
