Well I kinda blew my budget on the barrel and a few other things. I will more than likely just take it to the one smith. He said it would be $50 or $60 to set the head spacing and put the new barrel on. I wanted to see if I could get away with a generic way of doing so. Guess I will have to bight the bullet for now. I plan on getting the proper tools eventually so that I can switch calibers.

P.S. Don't own the head spacing gauges either. Would have to purchase those as well. Was going to set off a sized piece of brass.
These guys just told you the wrench was $40.00. I headspace with brass for the go gauge and brass with scotch tape for the no gauge.
