maltbuck Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 A question for the riflesmiths please. Currently have a 6mmBR Heavy Varmint profiled barrel sat in a Tooley MBR stock, and Borden action. How simple/easy/possible is it to swap between another Heavy varmint profiled barrel, eg a 6.5x47? This will allow me a more economical option and easier to put past Firearms Dept. ATB MB.

baldie Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Dead easy if the borden has a pinned lug, which i think they have. All you need is another barrel of the same dimensions [if the barrel is bedded forward of the lug,] then you need a barrel vice and wrench and away you go.

It will certainly save me some ££'s when looking for a higher BC option for the wind errors at 600! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermincinerator Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 You will also need to punch two witness marks, one on the barrel and the other on the reciever/recoil lug so that when you change barrels they can be aligned so as not to effect headspace.
