My gunsmith is getting three cases of beer for screwing a proof prefit onto an anTiX action and checking headspace. Nice thing is, in “the Sanctuary” once the beer goes in the fridge it’s community beer….
Bring him 3 cases of Bud Light Lime.....even if community, it could be setting there a LONG time. Next time he'll tell you only bring a 6 pack! ...grin...just joking, I don't dislike anyone enough to do that.
I ended up buying a barrel vice and action wrench to do this. Still waiting on the action to be returned from coating.
Before I sent the action out I screwed the barrel on (hand tight), put the base/ring/scope on (just on, not loctite/etc) and put it in the stock with bottom metal just to check balance and weight. Felt really, really nice.

Right at 7 lbs all up with a little forward balance. Looking forward to getting the action back, screwing it together, and putting it to use.
