I wouldn't expect a shim to to stay in place.
Is this a question of how much play is still an ok fit?
I'm not getting a lot of good information either which is frustrating.
It looks like the M16A2/M4 version for a 0.750 barrel journal is part # 12991254.
The part # for the adapter assembly with the swivel looks to be #12598617 and the reversible "dog bone" to use on the A1 or A2 barrel appears to be part # 12598618 which is what was stamped on mine.
I one I picked up I was told was NOS USAF inventory / take off parts. The seller is taking it back and getting me one that will work on my 0.625 A1 barrel only.
