77/22 barrel switch

77/22 Barrel Switch

dgun,

There is nothing 'tricky' about a 77/22 barrel change, as long as you know a few things:
1. YOU must align the barrel's extractor slots with the extractors on the bolt; the V-Block will NOT align them.....! !
2. Do NOT over torque the two #12-24 Allen head [5/32"] screws; 30 INCH pounds each is all that is required.....! !
3. IF your new barrel is of a different contour than the one it is replacing, some stock work maybe required....! !
4. IF the new barrel is of the same caliber class as the old, no other changes are required.....! !

Good Luck....! !

Thanks BigMike, It looked pretty basic, but I've found it's always better to ask if you can. It's a Ruger factory barrel (same contour), so I don't think it will need much stockwork. The extractor groove alignment I probably would have taken for granted. Thanks again for the help!:t
