I am going to be pressing a barrel tonight and I lost my directions on how to use the kit... I can figure the basics out from the thread but here is another helpful tidbit I got from the web:

Quote:

The tool in the upper left hand corner is used to press the trunion on the barrel. The long "post" presses on the upper part of the trunion and the short "post" presses in the mag well area of the trunion.

The round bar in the right side of picture is used between the tool with the posts and the boom on the hydrolic press. The trick is to keep everything lined up. As you begin pressing the trunion on the barrel it tends to want to go on or slip to one side. This can lead to a few false starts.

The tool on the bottom left side of the picture holds the barrel while it is being press in. The smaller hole catches teh barrel just around the gas block. It is in that area where there is a "step" in the barrel. The larger hole is were the gas block goes through.
