Hi, the fire arm I'm working with is unloaded. Checking and being SURE of this is always the first step.
I'm going to be engraving the receiver on a Henry Lever action. I have the gun torn down to just a receiver and barrel and have ordered a barrel vice and action wrench to finish the disassembly. To this point and including the engraving I have things under control.
I'd like to be able to get this gun back together safe and usable. Headspace seems to be the big concern for a barrel removal. I'm going to get "go - no go" gauges to check the headspace when I re-install the barrel.
My questions are has anyone here removed and re-installed the same barrel to a receiver before? If I return the barrel to the same place rotationally speaking will I most likely have not changed the headspace?
Anything else I should take into consideration?
