I've worked on some guns at my home shot that are very easy to pop the barrels off of. I've heard that with some Remington rolling block barrels some can be removed almost without the use of tools. I have a 1919 belt fed that simply threads in and you can adjust the head spacing on as well these are the kind of intalls I'm used to.
I've seen target rifles that have fairly loose fitted barrels that don't require the use of a extremes to remove them. I have a .243 I'm building on a mauser action and I'm just wondering if I need to get a weight gauge to tell me how much torque I'm tighting it down to or what? I have yet to pop the old barrel off the action yet as its soaking in kroil as we speak. I havn't had a chance to look anything up on the subject in any of my gunsmithing books yet as I've been everywhere but back at home.
Also. The barrel I got is a very thin (at least to me) sporter barrel. I'm almost wondering about turning down the barrel and sleaving it in another barrel I have that Is shot out Has this been done before? I know its like the opposite of putting a liner in the barrel but? My only concern is the amount of stress it would put on the barrel. I know hatcher turned down 30/06 barrels till they had a wall thickness of 1/8" at least back to the chamber and he didn't have any problems.
