John MH Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 How long does it take you to swap out a barrel? I've just refitted two barrels to my T2ks in about 10 mins total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapua Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Less than 1 minute on my blaser. And it returns to zero perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzarM1 Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 My AT takes a little longer but Blaser the quickest methinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MH Posted January 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 This barrel swap took a little longer, its an AR15 .223 barrel that needed re-crowning, took about 20 minutes to build back up again. Barrel nut going on. Barrel nut snugged up. Forend fitment attached to Barrel Nut. Forend attached to fitment. New crown. Self Timing Brake Nut. Snugged up. Brake fitted and timed. AR15 Upper fixture, simple and very effective for doing any barrel removal or replacement. All back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 AIAXMC - about a minute. Sig mpx - about a minute ( 16” pcc barrel and forend exchange to 6.5” barrel forend and suppressor. John how do you find the Carbon forend? - the one on the mpx is by Lancer - gucci but a potential negative (unless you run a suppressor inside it) is the diameter is larger than a regular aluminium forend so a C grip is not as comfortable.

Roy W Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 John, where did you get the AR upper fixture? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 SSG3000 takes sub 5 mins but is stock off procedure (including this in the time ) so in all five bolts to either undo or remove Returns to zero quite reliably AI takes a minute - 4mm hex and simply unscrew and re thread the barrel to hand tight and re tighten the 4mm hex My other traditional rifles will take 5-10 mins with stock off and barrel vice / torque wrench and action wrench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 3 hours ago, Roy W said: thanks I like the fixture, I was under the impression they were for thick walled uppers only, but evidently not (I've got one of the clamshell ones that Mark sold me)! Looks easy enough to make, I'll have to add it to my todo list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meles meles Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 On our DTA, about 30 seconds. On our Schultz & Larsen, about 20 seconds. On Her Maj's LMG, which we used on 'er behalf, about 8 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember Robin field-stripping and reassembling a Bren in under 10, so a mere barrel change would be half that. Triffid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Depends how keen you are to leave your finger prints on the barrel and not no your hands. 2 belts through a vz59 ( Brenish) works a treat Nicest thing to change a barrel on is an Uzi.

Roy, I've made a few of these, they are easy to make and great to use for cerakoting the upper - it means you don't need to mask the insides. I'll bring one on Sunday if you want to take a look - I won't be able to make another one until possibly later next week, the bar stock and square section are easily sourced and often don't need any machining to size, only drilling counter-sinking and tapping and two bolts. For full-bore barrel fitting an action bar is better as it doesn't put any stress on the receiver at all. Sometimes the upper, especially forged and other thin walled ones, can distort if you really need to tighten up a little bit more to time the barrel nut.
