    Pretty straight forward and a total noob set of questions, but I’d rather ask then risk SNAFU or a FUBAR situation. I have an action being spun up with a barrel that will be here sometime in the next few weeks/months, I have some parts here that will need to be installed once I get it in:
    TriggerTech
    Muzzle Brake (YHM mini QD)
    MPA chassis

    My questions are:

    Trigger: what will I need to install it? Punches and a hammer? As well as a trigger pull gauge?

    Brake: This is the one that worries me the most; I’m sure it will have to be timed and torqued down?

    Chassis: this seems the easier by far per MPA’s website

    Any advice or any precautions I need to take once the BA arrives and I tackle it? Would I be better off having a local GS do some of the work like the brake and trigger?

    If your action doesn't use a trigger hanger then yes, a hammer and punches for the trigger. Im not familiar with the brake so I can't help there. For the chassis you'll need some sort of torque wrench/driver for the action screws. I use a Wheeler Fat Wrench and Fix It Sticks.

    Action is a Bighorn Origin if that helps.

    I do have a Fat Wrench here, as well as a pretty good supply of tools on hand.
     
    Trigger pins are easy

    Self timing brake install is easy, if it’s not self timing a crush washer(big no no if running a suppressor), a washer set or machinist needs to time it.

    Any decent chassis is usually a bolt in and go scenario.

    Pretty sure the brake has washer set; it’s designed to run specially with my can.
