16mm barrel swivel to 15mm barrel?

[patterdale 672]

Forget all the other posts I've made about air rifle choice, I'm 100% going for Remington Sabre TH,now after speaking to Sportsguns and SMK they have informed me that it has a 15mm barrel diameter.I want to put a sling and swivels on and prefer a front fitting barrel clamp swivel.I like the Bisley type..so would it be OK to buy the 16mm and put electrical black tape underneath the barrel ring to take up the slack?

Has anyone else done this,and how did it work out?

You'd be better off putting a small bit of rubber around the barrel  - there's less chance of it slipping. 

 

I used electrical tape on my TX and it doesn't move but, it did on my '77.

We used to put a small strip of push bike inner tube around the barrel. Works a treat.
