[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1070627, member: 8362"] The right tools would include a lathe, most MODERN barrels for rebarreling M1's need to have the shoulder adjusted. They are made to work on any receiver in many degrees of wear. Barrel needs to be "indexed" so that the front sight & gas cylinder are in the right place and everything lines up (gas cylinder, operating rod & all the 'linkage'). You will ,also, need a barrel vice, action wrench, and reamer (armorers pull thru or regular & gauges) to set the head space as replacement barrels are 'short chambered' these days. These don't 'drop together' like an AR, they take a bit more work. [/QUOTE]
