Im interested in ordering a barrel, but I have a couple questions regarding the swap.<br />
<br />
What tool fits the barrel extension to receiver nut and the barrel nut?<br />
<br />
As far as headspacing goes, are you able to just torque the barrel extension into the receiver using the extension to receiver nut and then set headspace like a savage by loosing the barrel nut and tightening the barrel down on a go gage and then tightening the barrel nut?<br />
<br />
Looking at the way its designed, it doesnt even look like you need to remove the barrel extension from the receiver. It looks like you could just crack that barrel nut loose and install like a savage.

When I had our gunsmith (<a href="https://www.fishertandc.com/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">FisherTandC</a> in the pics on previous posts) he used an AR wrench, and a barrel clamp and action wrench. It's been so long at this point, that I don't remember the exact steps he did for install/headspace. It did seem very similar to how a savage is head spaced though. I'd reach out to him with questions until we can do another install and document the process better. Either way, I always recommend having a trained, licensed gunsmith do the install. - matt</div>
