Hi there,
I have an MPA rifle in 6.5 creedmoor and am approaching 2000 rounds. I'll easily pass 2500 before the fall and am looking at what my options are. One of the them is getting a barrel vise, action wrench, torque wrench, go/no-go gauges and purchasing one or more barrels and put one on.
It would save me the expense and loss of time of sending to a gunsmith and would potentially allow me to purchase two barrels. I'd also welcome the experience and learning. However, I don't want to screw anything up and of course be safe. I'm looking at a Krieger barrel but will explore Bartlein as well.
The question is really is whether putting on a barrel will be easy, assuming that I have worked with the barrel manufacturer to make sure it will fit my action (Curtis).
Would appreciate any experiences and input on this.
Many thanks
