Kensal is absolutely correct. A few barrel sets might snap right on as if they were made for the gun but most of the time they will need some fine fitting. Hopefully the new set will be too large and won't close or even come close to it. A lot of smoking and fine filing then re-smoking and more fine filing, and so on, and so on. It is tedious and very exacting but will hopefully be worth the effort in the long run. If the new barrels are too small (fit loosely) at the beginning... you'll probably need to find another set of barrels.
