How to shim or sleeve a barrel tenon?

Author: Reformed

I have 2 barrels that I would like to use frequently on my reform Boehms.

The first fits perfectly, i.e. no rocking or movement and fits without brute force. Its inner tenon diameter is 23.70mm.

The second is P&S zoom barrel is 23.92mm. This is quite loose.

So, I need a shim or sleeve that is 0.1mm.

I know that common approach is to wrap a couple of cigarette papers or, more permanently, a few wraps of plumber's ptfe tape around the top joint tenon. But I would really like something that can be changed on the fly, quickly. So I would like to fit a semi-permanent sleeve in the Zoom barrel tenon.

I believe a coke can is about 0.1mm!

Any suggestions?
