Default Pre-threaded and chambered bolt action rifle barrels

Anybody tried one of these from Shilen?

So far from internet searching / Youtube videos it looks like you would need a barrel vise, action wrench, pin punch, barrels shims, barrel reamer,hammer, and other misc hand tools.

A rough estimate of the above tools would probably be anywhere from $500 to $1000, based on some past research I did for a savage 110 rebarrel.

Realize it’s cheaper to have a professional gunsmith do this , as they have the tools and knowledge, but I was thinking of a winter project for down the road (work and budget pending).

Guessing there’s probably some books out there that deal with rebarreling, but haven’t had a chance to research any yet.
