hi kzauger, if you are referring to the threaded ring that tightens the receiver to the barrel it shouldn't be a concern as on mine the forestock holds it from adjusting itself, maybe if that's the part you are referring to and your forestock doesn't pinch the adjuster so to speak you could add something between the adjuster and forestock so it cant move, also anytime I load a gun in the quad, motorcycle or boat I pull an old pair of socks over both ends if its not in a case, in this case one large winter sock for each half completely covers the rifle, it keeps it from banging around and if anything rattles off its in the sock {unless your old socks have a hole, pick a pair that don't, lol}
