I do have a brass receiver insert for my barrel swaps; in an emergency (which is doubtful in my future) I could drill it and insert a squib rod to make a shade-tree fixture...But that axle pin is the most oddball size ever designed; not Metric and not Yankee...Not Inch, not Letter size, not Number size...You'd have to make up a special pin (or use a spare axle pin) to test your alignment after every tweak...

...Or just box it up and send it to Gerry!!!
I was thinking about supporting and clamping the barrel, instead of using a rod in the bore. If you lay it flat on its side and clamp it both at the muzzle end and right at the chamber, you would only be bending one rail... or?

But yeah, boxing it up and sending it to Gerry sounds like a safer alternative.
