M!-Garand/ New Barrel & Can't Hit Anything!

[Devil Dog]

Charlie,
When you use the tool shown in Bill's pics, you do NOT use a level. Indexing is checked "by eye". If you don't have Bill's tool, you can use a Machinist's Level, which is adjustable. Either way is acceptable. The advantage of using the level if you are just checking indexing.... you dont have remove the rifle from the stock or remove the rear sight.`
