Barrel vice I got for around $100. go / no go / field gauge around $150.  Barrel nut tool from barrel manufacture goes for around 30 to 50 bucks. Torque wrench if you don’t have one can be rented at an auto part store. I’m betting you know someone that has one you can use. I have done all my first barrel swaps for around 800 to 1k. I use button rifling preferred barrels. Preferred barrels comes with a warrant. The best part is when I done my second and third barrel. I had all the tools to do the job. The only cost was the barrel and the 6 to 8 week wait time. now you just have to determine if you want hammer forged, button pulled or single point rifling. now you have built you own rifle and you know your rifle better. Plus when people ask who built your rifle you can say I did. Yes that comes with the good and the bad.</blockquote>
