[QUOTE="Colt45_13, post: 1542980, member: 108516"] turk8r1, My plan was to purchase a wrench, but rent the headspace gauges. I am not using an AXIS as a donor, however it wasn't in my plans to replace the barrel nut and the recoil lug. However, you sound like you know what you are talking about so I will install an aftermarket nut and lug. Regarding the vice, I have some options... I can use a vice and outfit a jig for the barrel or I may buy, rent, or build a barrel vice... Haven't really chiseled that plan in concrete yet. Random question I forgot to ask earlier. How do you take the barrel off of the actions on the Savage rifles that have the smooth barrel nut? Do you just use a pipe wrench to get it off then replace it with a grooved barrel nut? I found a decent donor rifle but it had the smooth nut. No apologies required, any and all advice is welcomed... I'm here to learn! CTL [/QUOTE]
