[QUOTE="Rardoin, post: 2120575, member: 114954"] There is a huge difference between buying a prefit barrel for a barrel nut set-up (which is an easy DIY project if you are comfortable with setting the headspace) and having a barrel chambered and fitted to your action. The latter requires a lathe and associated tooling, precision measuring instruments, and considerable knowledge to do it correctly. If you are talking of a standard shouldered barrel (not one with a nut to lock into position) you will be sending it to a gunsmith unless you are willing to invest major $ and time for the proper machine tool/tooling/measuring equipment. I have the access to all the tooling/gauging and have run machine tools; my gunsmith does all my chambering/fitting. [/QUOTE]
