Anyone know a good smith to pressin a barrel on a PSL ?

[Pantera]

Hi,
I got an all matching numbered Romak3 PSL. It looks as if all it needs to be done is cleck for burrs and put it in. Problem is for me. I don't have a press.
I know you can use the all thread method, heating the receiver and freezing the Barrel thing. But I also would like to check the headspace to double check them Romy builders
Thanks in advance

Hey Pantera; If you ever get over near West Plains Missouri, ( South Central)
Your welcome to use my press & tools.

Red Jacket is the Man! He did mine and it came out great along with the outstanding finish job!

I pressed my barrel in using a bar clamp. Still use it for all of my ak builds also.

Thanks guys, alot!
Sometimes when you don't have all the tools for the job you just gotta say uncle
My main worry is (after freezing the bbl and heating the rec) that when sliding the bbl in and when trying to align it to the pin hole it will get stuck and as the bbl warms and rec. cools it will be impossible to move anymore. I have no way of pulling the bbl then.

I used this method on my PSL. You do not have much time. You will only have one try at it.

My job from Red Jacket was very affordable.

It looks like it's going to Red jacket.

rbthntr64, You are correct, he is very reasonable.
