Most semi-drop in barrels come with a .278 link and seldom need to be changed.
We all see things from a different point of view, but really the reverse makes a lot more sense.
Hood sides first, then hood end, upper lug engagement, top of barrel to inside of slide clearance off the frame, lower lug last. This being done with a loose bushing, so now the bushing.
