Do not buy

I bought this for a build and intended to replace the barrel. I did all the normal things to remove the barrel but this one was torqued/stuck. Because I was giving the barrel away, I eventually went to a 24" pipe wrench. Didn't work. Heated the action even. Didn't work. I was bouncing my 200 lbs on it. Buy this if you have a few hundred dollars to throw away.
