barrel replacement

Rich,

awesome presentation !!! verrrrry cool

retiring soon and I have several projects in mind

where do we buy the kit to do the rebarrels ? kind of kidding - but is there a source for tools that are correct ?

are the barrel vise bushings tapered ?

do the squibb rods fit like friction fit or more loosely ?

my interest is in the target / custom lugers so dont care much about the old barrel except possible resale / reuse

have you had cases that required heating with torch , grinding away the old barrel flange to release pressure , rusted threads , other heroics etc ?

do the later mauser ww2 , and the 1970s mauser parabellums seem to be less likely to need the heroics ?

thanks
Bill
