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.

sorry foegot the bolt buffer...yes get one! weapon kraft makes the best as rfc opinion goes. the auto bolt release lets you pull back slightly then release for the action to shut. i didnt think i would get one because i could operate it satisfacory stock but after taking it once hunting i bought one. fitting shouldnt be a problem. just wiggle it in there. there are no threads or anything just a slip in. sometimes the fit is too tight so freeze the gun and barrel and it should slide rigt out or in is you have problems.
