Re installing factory barrel

[ngoforth]

I have a remington 700 that I removed the barrel. Is there anything special that needs to be done to put the barrel back on the original action it was on? I am thinking all I need to do is use headspace gauges and torque it down. Is this correct?

Clean the sealant off the threads real good and use high pressure grease on the threads. Make sure the lettering lines back up, verify with gages and have fun. I trust you have a recoil lug alignment tool? As rough and as out of square the surfaces are youll need that

I do have everything I need. Thank you.
