Thanks for the replies gentlemen.  I have worked on a number of 03's and 03A3's but they are vastly different in regards to barrel pressure etc.  Can I assume that I should have just a slight amount of vertical barrel movement when all is tight?  I am contemplating taking the front band off and leaving the rear band in place, then shooting the rifle to see what the results will be before I do anything else.  I clearance the front barrel bands on 03 and 03A3's that I work on so I can just see light around the barrel and I have pretty good results with those so I am leaning towards doing the same with the Krag.  I must say the suggestion to tighten the action screws a specific way is interesting also.  Thanks again for the ideas!
