Question on barrel replacement ...

Hi Rick, Good to hear from you...

... I learned about the clean part first time... then I learned about too much lead... then I learned about too many bolts on the barrel vice, don't need four... Then, I learned about bending the leverage bar... Then, things started to get better....

I now see where the rosin is 100% necessary, and probably my main reason for difficulty... The tape idea sounds great and I can see when using metal blocks or shims, something like that is needed... I'm going to re-read, and re-read again your post and make sure I'm taking advantage of all info available.. Thanks Rick, best to you, til...lat'r....GT
