Cost of installing a barrel or instructions on DIY install??

I have a full parts kit with a receiver from Southern Tactical & am trying to decide between giving the install a go myself or sending it off to be done professionally. I have absolutely no experience with building a firearm to this extent & haven’t been able to find much in terms of a guide or walkthrough online, but I do have access to a press & know people who can weld.

I’d prefer to not break the bank by having someone else do it since it would probably have been cheaper to just buy a complete rifle if it ends up being $$$ so if anyone can give me a rough estimate on what it’d cost me or point me towards a detailed guide on DIY I’d be much appreciative.

EDIT - Regarding sending it out to a professional to get the barrel pressed, would I be looking at ~$600 to $800? If any smiths or someone who’s had similar work done recently could tell me I’ll give you a big smile & a thank you.
