[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2407089, member: 42157"] Heck yes I would put it together. I did not know about all the detail in the custom actions and pre-fits after sending all my parts (Defiance, Mcmillan, and a non pre-fit barrel) to the smith to build us rifles. My understanding NOW is they should be perfectly threaded for exact headspace. Even if you buy all the items.....probably be cheaper than paying for it.....and you have the tools then. You do not need a $500 Snap On torque wrench. Torque Wrench: I don't have it available where I live and I know in bigger towns you can rent/loan tools from many auto supply stores. Give them your CC info for a deposit and you get it for a certain time frame. Action Wrench, Headspace Gauges: These can be rented from different places also. Barrel Vice: Dont know if these can be rented. If you dont have a bench vise (can make your own barrel clamp/buy the inserts) you may have to buy one. The hardest part is getting old barrels off not installing new ones. [/QUOTE]
