I got a receiver and a barrel
I just need some info to decide if I'm going to install it myself or have a gunsmith do it
Do I need to put anything on the threads like antiseize or just make sure they are clean
Next the witness marks
When I screw the barrel on it stops about a 1/2 inch away
Is that too far? Should I be able to get it closer before using an action wrench?
I'll try to post some pics tomorrow
Next question
If the distance is too much should I use some lapping compound on the receiver face and barrel shoulder to remove some metal and if yes how close should I be able to get the witness marks by hand
Should I lap the lugs?
Thanks for any and all help
