Is there any words of advice for a newbie barrel changer.Have a fluted G.M barrel here that I am anxious to try out.i.e counter clockwise to remove barrel,should I expect a pin in the barrel or not.Thanks....Joe

Just take out the 2 bolts from the barrel block and pull it out

Thanks (Ronin),sounds so easy I feel like a dumbs##t for asking.

When you put it back together, you might consider Locktite around the base of the barrel, Just a little, helps to keep things secure!!

Don't cut yourself! The V slot on the barrel is VERY sharp.

Also, tighten both hex bolts at the same time, turn one a little, then the other, etc. Don't tighten one then install the other.

Great advise. That's exactly what I would suggest.
