I got a wrench from PFC Thomas too. Nice improvement over the Brownells one. More expensive, but works for both M14 and M1.
Look forward to seeing this gem. You are welcome to borrow any of my tools for accurization and such as you may require. Rasps, stones, die grinder, rheostat, etc. I am really looking forward to seeing this. You understand quality and are a bright guy. I bet you'll make a fine M14 smith. Awesome!!!!!

I looked at Clint's book one time....to make sure of the clip guide install direction.
Goes in from the bolt stop side. Easy enough.
Colt makes a really cool AR punch that works great for the M14 bolt stop pin....flat on one side.

You ain't got too much draw on that barrel. Should be a snap to index. You are at 6:45. Maybe 10-12 degrees off at most. That's perfect.
You could always just dig right in....install the bolt stop and clip guide. You need a big ass 1/2" brass punch for the clip guide and op-rod guide. You can get brass on the metal...cleans off with Hoppes.

JD....I also have custom shims in .003 and .004" for just that very thing. Not many though.
Lapriester over at the CMP forum made a very inexpensive barrel shoulder rolling apparatus from a Harbor Freight pipe cutter. Replace the wheels with a kit from Lowes and you have your own shoulder roller. I've also gained some draw with an anvil and ball peen hammer. Easy enough really.
Takeoffs can be a pain like that sometimes.
