Re: Loose barrel socket

Well, you've had no other takers, so I can imagine a couple of possibilities, neither of which I've ever tried.

Maybe have a repair tech cement a thin liner inside the socket. I don't know what material would be best suited. Repairers often cement hard rubber liners into the barrel's bore to give the dimensions more stability, but I don't know if you can buy or create a strip of hard rubber as thin as this would have to be.

Maybe in the DIY department, successive thin layers of epoxy, letting each layer dry before adding more, until you've got the diameter you need. Should be more durable than nail polish. I don't know how the solvent in epoxy will get along with the barrel material.
