Thread: 2 Barrels, 1 Rifle

You won’t wear out the thread and you’ll see maybe 2 mils of zero shift between barrels. Use good grease and a torque wrench. I use 80FTLBs for all my barrel swaps.also if a good gunsmith fits your barrels initially, you won’t need go/no go gauges.

Mean, cheers mate, bloody good to hear! Do you have advice on what barrels to use or what does your mate us?

Two are tikka factory barrels and one is a hardy barrel fitted by them. I swap them for him. I’m about to make my tikka hunting rifle a swap barrel rifle too.
