Gents,
I'm taking off the factory .300 winmag barrel (unused so I'd like to keep scuffing nonexistent) on my AW and replacing it with a barrel chambered for 7mm LRM by GAP which should be arriving shortly.
I bought a Tubb barrel vise and an action wrench so I plan to wrap the barrel in thick rubber and wrench it off then replace it with the new one.
2 questions:
1) How many ft-lbs do I torque the replacement to?
2) What do I need to do to the replacement barrel to protect it and the receiver from rust? Do you typically degrease and lube the new threads with something?
