A bunch of first timers have done it. I've done probably 15-20 of mine, they're a piece of cake, once you get over the anxiety, the first one goes real easy, it's just the breaking the ice part that people can't handle. ;) Those that can't "break the ice", have em done while they get barrels fitted, or pay a smith to do it, different strokes. ;)

I done mine about a month ago on my Ruger 204. I read the instructions over several times and went slow during the process and it worked out okay for me. I took it down to 3 lbs. and stopped there. I would not take it down any further because sometimes they will lighten up some. After having shot over 80 rounds since then, it now breaks just a hair in under 3lbs. Worked out great for me. If you don't have a good flat smooth stone to hone the parts on, it would be best to get a new one before you start. You can do it if you won't get in a hurry, and you'll appreciate the lighter trigger pull.   ;D  Good luck,   Jack

I did both mine.
Easier than it looked in the instructions.

Im probally going to give it a shot this winter, my 223 is very light from the factory, but my 22 hornet and 25-06 are way heavy,  my 25-06 fits perfectly on my 223 frame, and fits loose on its own frame, so im going to "do a trial run with the 25-06 frame trigger first.  ;)

If that loose fitting barrel is factory fitted, I'd send it in for repair/replacement or so a shim job on it if it isn't, have a trigger job done if you send it in. ;)
