Once I got the barrel set right, I just used the action wrench and the barrel wrench against each other. I feel like that should have tightened it more than some suggest and less than others. I have been thinking about trying this for a couple of years, but wasn't comfortable with it. If I had known this was easier than any gun I have broken down before, I would have done it a long time ago. I was pretty pickled when I figured out I could do it on my gun room floor. Can't wait to get this this sighted in for deer season with my new Nitrex scope.
