    By far the easiest is the front site tool, I have one, average adjustment. Its not like they shoot sub MOA, get it in the area and good for any ammo combo.

    If three people can't figure out how to cut a barrel for relief, then they are knuckle draggers not gun smiths.

    Agreed. Striker removed, very gently try on a field reject.

    In almost all cases it will almost close 100% but a slight bit of resistance.
