[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2853062, member: 116181"] Every rifle is a switch barrel, buy an action wrench and presto you can take a barrel off and screw on another. There's no need to torque them on to the point you have to beat them with a hammer. I use actions with integral recoil lugs and send in multiple barrels with the action and get them all cut at the same time, so the differences in the chambers from wear if it's not my reamer is minimal (if they're the same chamber). I change out the whole bolt, each barrel is headspaced to the correct boltface so there's no risk of mixing them up. I order my actions with at least two bolts, did three in a LA Defiance. Seems like most people are looking for a complete off-the-shelf sub-$1k rifle, because they shoot "just fine". Breaking off a factory barrel could cure anyone of trying though. [/QUOTE]
