Various thicknesses of paper would work, but putty is what one normally would use, with a plastic food wrap next to the barrels to prevent sticking when pulled apart (may or may not be necessary).

I have an Ithaca/SKB that needs to be slimmed down as well, though it is technically a splinter to begin with.
