[QUOTE="jmden, post: 35479, member: 1742"] Thanks for the info, Fiftydriver. My smith charges $15 to put the barrel back on so...you know, I just like tinkering. I am aware of the headspace issue. I'm trying to think of a way to use my torque wrench to tighten to spec...maybe I can modify a socket that'll fit in the action and torque on one of the action lugs (use some elect. tape to protec surfaces) and then use an extension where the bolt would be out the back of the action to my torque wrench. 50-60 ft. lbs. isn't that awful much. What do you think? Thanks again, Jon Denham [/QUOTE]
