[QUOTE="zghorner, post: 2720380, member: 35089"] issues you might encounter: 1. the FSB wont budge even if you whack the crap out of it. This will require a press to press off the FSB so if you don't have one or know someone that does you might as well take it to a smith. Please note that the only gun that ive ever had to correct a cant on that required a press was a milled Bulgarian arsenal built gun. 2. the amount of rotation needed to correct the cant is too great. If you have to rotate the FSB too far then the milled areas on the barrel will not line up with the FSB and will need to be wollered out. This has to be done carefully as you want to actually remove metal from the barrel and not the FSB which is softer metal. Best done with the FSB off the gun. 3. if its a stamped receiver gun then the front trunion can be misaligned and out of spec...and that's beyond my corrective abilities. [/QUOTE]
