DustinO, if the barrel is off and the old barrel is still in reach and if head space was checked before removing, the chamber can be reamed before installing to within .002 thousands, if the removed barrel is no where in sight the chamber can still be reamed before the barrel is installed with a few tools like a depth gage, and it can be determined if the new barrel is going to seat on the 'C' seating/torque ring before the shoulder at the end of the threads on the barrel hit the face of the receiver ring, and with a feeler gage the amount of crush can be measured.
I have pipe wrenches in length from pocket size to 4 ft, the pipe wrench is never a good choice for the receiver or barrel, in my opinion a barrel and receiver wrench is minimum requirement with a depth micrometer.

Nothing against gages, I use micrometers.
