18" fluted is great imo for an all arond rifle. mine is not fluted but is 18" and a great barrel and great shooter...
i would buy a vq magazine release, vq auto bolt release, and more factory mags. http://www.hawktecharms.com/ here you can find those and other great product for cheap and free shipping!
barrel and stock removal is so simple a kid could do it. take off stock by taking out the screw on the bottom of the stock and then take off the barrel band. the barrel and action will come out. look at the action where the barrel is connected, you will see two hex head screws. take them out and wiggle out the barrel. then put in new barrel put barrel screws back in put on new stock put in barrel screw... your done!
here is a link that explains complete disassemble.
