[QUOTE="Grizzman47, post: 3002181, member: 125904"] This is easy peasy. These barrels are designed to be removed and replaced by the end users. Head space is set from the factory and doesn't even "need" to be checked. The only time I've ever swapped an MRP barrel was at a gun range. We removed two bolts and pulled out the 308 barrel. We slid the other barrel into position, inserted the two bolts, and used the LMT wrench to torque them down. It took a couple minutes tops. My guess is that it'll take you about 4 minutes to assemble the kit into a complete rifle, once the torque wrench is retrieved. I wouldn't call this a kit rifle. Those typically need to be completely assembled: lower parts kit installed, barrel installed into the upper receiver with a barrel nut, handguard installed, receiver extension installed, etc. [/QUOTE]
