[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 209926, member: 2215"] If the face of the receiver and the shoulder of the barrel are perfectly square then locking a barrel on 2 handed should hold securely, but I wouldn't reccomend it. Even if your checking the tightness frequently, it's the one time you don't it will be loose. Not only will you have loose barrel that won't shoot you'll have a headspace problem. I would reccomend using a action wrench and a barrel vise to install any barrel. Then you'll know it's tight. [/QUOTE]
