Installing a Short Chambered Barrel

[FrozenKoolAidDude]

Larry Potterfield sometime in 2007; I'm bored. Anybody have any suggestions?

Intern; I dunno, make YouTube videos?

Larry; Hmmmm...

timing and torque are irrelevant with a short chambered barrel with no sights.

it simply doesn't matter how the barrel is lined up, as long as it is tight.

as for torque, that is up to you, and what you are comfortable with.

most gunsmiths I know, usually take it up to "Hand tight" make a mark, and then take it 1/8 inch past and that is good! Any tighter is simply not required

what about the timing

[John4566442]

Great video. Excellent, short explaination of how to install a barrel. I doubt Larry reads this posts, but maybe his minions do. If Larry produces more full length video gunsming videos (he has a couple out right now) he can run AGI out of business. Midway's video quality is second to none and his Larry's ability to teach is beyond dispute.

Larry, is there a recommended torque spec?

[Extrapolato]

I totally agree

[AmRFuKYaH]

attach those vices to the barrel of a firing gun and bam! no more recoil lol

Larry for president!

[AreThereNoMoreNames]

Wait, if it's short chambered, doesn't that mean that it's not going to headspace if you screw the barrel right on? Or am I missing something?

[broncbusterdan]

I was thinking the same thing. The finishing of the chamber, and headspacing is the part of the process that I'd like to see. I do love this series though.

As always, great job!

[FriedrichVon]

Larry is cool!

[soldier715]

This was no different than just a backwards video of how to take a barrel off. Nothing learned. Sorry, but love all the other videos.

...And That's That! Pffft!

[ECTBWHO]

Hmmm

[jordanr1504]

instead of sayin "thats the way it is" at the end

say "and thats the way the cookie crumbles"
