[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1211144, member: 50867"] xFrederickx, Based on the experience reflected in the original post, I'd have to say it certainly appears to be well beyond your skill set. What you need to have done here isn't difficult if you've got the proper training, equipment [B]and[/B] experience but it is not a task for the novice. Congrats on your plans to build up your own rifle. Best of luck with the project. As a side note, which I hope makes you feel somewhat better in making your decision, I've been shooting for nearly 65 years; I do a lot of work on my guns - but I know my limits. When I set up a new rifle I always rely on my gunsmith to marry the action to the barrel and set the head spacing. Maybe that's why I've lived this long. [/QUOTE]
