    Forget about a barrel changing race. I'll take as much time as necessary when changing my Savage barrels to do a perfect job, including not scratching anything and tweaking the headspace until it's just right. That is the advantage a DIY owner has over someone who sends his gun to a gunsmith who is worried about time vs profit.

    What I want to see in a video isn't how fast you can change a Savage barrel, but how fast you can get down to business.

    In other words, I do NOT want to see you at all nor do i want you to introduce me to your cat. And PLEASE don't ask me, "What's up guys?". I'm not your friend nor do I want to be. Just show me the barrel changing process.

    Don't spend more than 10 or 15 seconds telling me what you're going to do....... just do it.

    Give me a VERY brief discussion about what tools I absolutely need plus a few words about tools which might make the job easier. Tell me which ones are worth making myself, like a barrel vise. Show me your $300 barrel vise if you like, but also mention where I can buy a functional one for $70 or where I can buy some appropriate soft jaws for $15 to use in my big bench vise if I happen to own a big vise already.

    Tell me how to change the barrel the correct way plus what to watch out for to prevent making a mistake or damaging anything.

    Do some editing. Don't tell me you're moving the camera while you record 30 seconds of camera shaking as you tell me you're moving the camera. I can tell what you're doing and I can tell you're wasting my time. Edit that out for God's sake.

    Tell me what kind of lube and/or anti-seize is best, but also tell me what kinds are NOT good.

    Tell me what torque value to use on the barrel nut, but also explain how to put the torque wrench on at 90 degrees to the wrench so that you don't have to use a force multiplier calculation.

    Show me how to use a go gauge properly and then show me how to us it with some tape on the end to act as a no-go-gauge. Tell me why setting head space is important and point out potential errors which might be either dangerous or cause problems when chambering certain kinds of ammo.

    In other words, don't make a movie staring YOU. As Joe Friday used to say, "Just the facts".

    You should like my videos then. I go into great detail and try to answer many questions the people don't know they have.

    Check out the last two videos I just posted about "properly" installing a scope mount onto an M14/M1A. I know they are not Savages, but it will give you an idea of my video production style and my camera work. I do all my videos assuming the viewer has little to no working knowledge of the subject matter. I can't tailor every video for every viewer so I put extra info in that a novice would need to know; stuff that may be common knowledge for everyone else in the loop. But that's the beauty of YouTube; you can skip to what you want to see.

    I'm still waiting on my action wrench from PTG.
