[QUOTE="Rob72, post: 1626591, member: 707"] ??Aside from barrel replacement, the aforementioned cracked trunion, or a receiver failure, there isn't anything that requires special tools or abilities. Bolt gap is adjusted with replacement rollers. If you're eating up headspace, it would be the same as a properly torqued AR- it needs to go back to the factory, preferrably to be replaced wuith a new rifle. The entire trigger group is modular. We buy specialized wrenches, torque wrenches, etc., for ARs. A $120 (or $60, if you use the on-line coupon) Harbor Freight press, and access to a wire welder, and a set of feeler gauges is pretty much a "Master Smiths'" tool kit for the G3. Granted, you need some eddication before playing with those tools, but home-builders have been doing this for going on 20 years. [/QUOTE]
