So I was referred here by another forum but after searching this group I haven't found the answers that I'm looking for so I thought I would post a new thread.
I have a 6.5 Type I rifle that has rotted out (I'm assuming mostly due to corrosive ammunition) but at any rate I need a new barrel put on it. I have ordered a new/replacement barrel which has been salvaged from another original vintage Type I and I planned on having it installed by a gunsmith in the Seattle area. I am however finding it very difficult to locate a good gunsmith willing to work on this. Being a fairly mechanical guy I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to remove the existing barrel and screw the replacement barrel on but my question is what to expect after that.
Will this be pretty much a plug and play or will I need to be concerned about bullet seating and headspace, etc. etc.
Thanks
Kevin
