[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1231841, member: 96226"] It's easy as pie even for a first timer. There's a couple special tools but they're not expensive. For a barrel vise I use these ([URL="https://www.summitracing.com/parts/fra-900061?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-fragola-performance-systems&gclid=CPjBr6qmis8CFYKHfgodQggIPw"]https://www.summitracing.com/parts/fra-900061?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-fragola-performance-systems&gclid=CPjBr6qmis8CFYKHfgodQggIPw)[/URL] jaws in a regular bench vise. Wrap the barrel in masking tape at the contact points and no marring at all and they're cheap and multi-purpose. Works best on a barrel with as little taper as possible. That and an action wrench and headspace gauges and you're set. Remove the extractor and ejector from the bolt before setting headspace. Ejector applies pressure to the case head, not helpful. Extractor often breaks since many HS gauges are made of steel, not brass. It's been a problem for me in the past. Easier to remove them. What you haven't told us is the most important thing. What'cha going to use it for generally speaking? Hunting rifle, F-class target rifle, plinker, PRS match rifle, etc...? The first one I did was based on a mauser 94 that I made into a .45ACP and took me about 15 minutes. My next was a Win70 that I converted to switch barrel. Took about 15 minutes. What parts you use is up to you. You could do a Savage, a proper remage or a Winage or whatever you want nowadays. Remage and Savage barrels are the easiest to get. For what stuff to put on it: for a barrel, well I've got a special place in my arsenal for Black Hole Weaponry barrels. They're total hammers and inexpensive for a drop in.
