I have fitted four barrels and in all cases, they were too tight to start with, as opposed to too loose. One took only a few hours and was done by bedtime. Another took nearly a week of tweaking and sweating bullets. They were all my own guns, and if I know nothing else, I know I'd never do it on someone else's gun. In every case, I spent hours measuring before I began, so I had a clear picture of what it was going to take. It took longer to find the right donor barrel than fitting it, and finding the right one is like finding that 'needle in a haystack'.
