Building a rifle

Here's some info,

http://www.switchbarrel.com/Savage%20FAQ.htm

Also, if you are going to do a Savage build I suggest joining savageshooters.com.  Well worth the $12 membership fee.  Watch the classifieds there and you will find the barrel you need for a great price.  Actions are a little differant story though and you would probably be able to find a rifle locally for a donar action for cheap.  There is a site sponser over at savageshooters called Northland Shooters Supply that has new barrels and actions for sale all the time.

Tools you need will be action wrench and barrel nut wrench. And maybe a deadblow hammer.If you'r a reloader 2 pieces of new sized brass. If not a reloader you will need a Go-gauge and a No-Go-gauge.
Do Not use an internal actoin wrench on a rifle that has not had the barrel removed before. You can warp the action with them.

I have no idea what any of those things are but im sure that I will figure it out eventually.

They can all be found at Midway USA.

As far as screwing a barrel on an existing action the Savage is the way to go.  Pre-threaded barrels are great as long as you don't need to adjust your Head Space too much.  If you are going to start with a raw barrel, square the action, blah...blah...blah you will need a lathe and a mill.  Personally.... I had a custom built, and I will just stick with a stocker from hear on out.

You can adjust the head space all you need to on a Savage Rifle.

sounds easy enough.  I thought I was nervous when I shot my first reloads lol.  Id have a heck of a long string on that trigger lol...  Might end up with that squiddly looking gun on that other post.  Overall it makes sense and seems like its been done enough to be safe.
