If you can do it maybe I can and I'm very unhandy with tools.

Now to find a good .222 or 223 bbl something beefy and longer than 22".   I have a .45-70 but it's a little big for groundghogs. Now how did you fit them again ? I'm a dummy so take me step by step. Thanks

Un handi in not PC.  Actually here it means you have not made a good desicion to buy a handy rifle.
But those of us that need to read the directions on a phillips head screwdriver prefer to be called "Mechanically Declined"!
