I purchased this rifle at a sale , barrel is not installed properly , needs tightened more into action , is there a fixture to use on action so as to not deform or ruin the bluing ? possibly the barrel will after being set straight it will need chamber deepened ? any advice appreciated !

You'd best take it to a lever-smith...

He will have the tools to torque the barrel and the go - no-go gauges to check headspace... And then he can fix it if it is out of spec.

The lever smith did this Job ! don't want more bad work !

I'm quite sure there isn't only "the" lever-smith you know/heard about...

Thank you DPCD ! I made a delrin 1-1/4 " bushing to fit the barrel and am finishing the job some time today I hope anyweigh ?
