from a box of new parts. Watching a couple Jack Weigand videos on YouTube on fitting barrels...maybe it would be better to just buy a couple Less Baers:) I still want to do it but I'd have to use more primitive tools than the jigs he sells for use with an end mill. I'm sure tools and stones and parts would probably cost more than a couple Baers but it would be a fun learning experience.
