Re: Ever re barrel an M1A?
There is a hefty investment in tools to do just one rifle, action wrench, barrel vise, chamber reamer...that's like 5 bills in hand tools assuming you already have a lathe...if not, add an extra 20k for the lathe... but if you own an M1-A you might hunt down a copy of Kuhnhausen's book...30 cal Service Rifles.
