[QUOTE="dak, post: 1713296, member: 5163"] What are you using? Press fixture or barrel block? Make sure the barrel will fit in the receiver first of all and hone the receiver or turn down the barrel if necessary. Make sure the piston stop is installed before pressing the barrel in. For sight alignment you can build or buy squaring blocks, eyeball it, or use a laser level. Headspace was trial and error for me as the shank is so long on VZ barrels, you headspace them by using headspace gauges with the bolt(stripped) in the carrier and checking the gap between the carrier and back of the rear sight block on the receiver. No gap = full lockup. As for the barrel pin slot = check for level and use a drill press with cutting fluid. Use a drill bit and a reamer for the pin. I used the guides on [url]http://www.theakforum.net/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=76[/url] and [url]http://www.projectguns.com/vz581.html[/url] as reference for my build. [/QUOTE]
