[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 2586793, member: 85874"] I have done it several times and more often than not the take off barrel will headspace correctly. You do need a set of head space gauges. The biggest problem is getting the old barrel off. Sometimes they can be a bugger. I do have several recoil lugs on hand and sometimes switching them will get you within the headspace you need. I will add sometimes they don't work and you either need a custom recoil lug or a gunsmith. Someone above offered recoil lugs in varying thicknesses. So there you go. [/QUOTE]
