Two barrels and a frame wrench and you'd about break even. Of course, you should have a barrel vise as well and those can be spendy.

Thanks for this. I wouldn't expect a problem wth clocking since the barrel is pinned, plus the sights have to line up correctly, so I would think a slip fit would be how it works (?) At one point a few years ago I had planned to make a barrel vise so I might look into that again if I were to try rebarrelling it.
