[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 543154, member: 13632"] I have four barrels for my model 12 and I swap twice a week quite often, it seems a little crude but the hammer and screw driver method works very well. Here's how it goes, I take nothing apart and the rifle is on a bipod, tap the nut loose with a small hammer and screw driver, spin of and install nut on next barrel, recoil lug stays in place, spin down close and put in go-gauge and finish seating barrel, spin down nut and tap a couple times to tighten. Fire one shot and measure with reticule make adjustment and fire a second to confirm. Done! I know it sounds crude but everything is trued and we are talking a light tape, not enough to mar the nut. I also have a shouldered barrel that I use but I mount it with a vice and action wrench and it will stay on all hunting season, unless I get bored with it :D [/QUOTE]
