    Nothing. Armorers wrench is all you need. Make sure you torque the barrel nut to specs and you should be good. Sometimes the delta ring can be a pain in the ass tho to get off if you have one.

    Cody I'd also get a dimple jig and dimple the barrel. Gas blocks can move out of alignment and cause malfunctions. Pinning is overkill, but atleast dimple it.

    What gas block are you using? Good idea to dimple the front as well? Simple to do. Just a suggestion.

    Is there any particular things I need to be concerned with swapping barrels?
    Thanks in advance!

    Easy peasy!
    No issues with the swap.
    Now I just need to run some rounds through it. Too bad it's my Monday...

    Dual set screw type. The barrel had a pretty deep dimple from the factory. I feel confident with the dimple and Loctite I should be good to go.

    Thanks! I love being able to work on my guns. My S&W has come a long way from her factory setup. [emoji16]
