So basically you only need minimal tools after you take the factory barrel off and get the gunk cleaned out of it? That is what I gathered from the reading I've done. So there is really no need in investing in a bunch of tools if you have a smith you trust to remove the factory barrel.

I looked up the prices on Midway for the needed tools and the barrel I want at E.R. Shaw and it would be over $450 for it all together. For that price I could just buy another gun! I'd have to do a lot of barrel switching to recover that cost. That's when I hit on the idea of letting someone else do it that has the tools!
