[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2869068, member: 10755"] Not practically possible with an existing action…if designed as such, then yes. A switch barrel, that is conventional, does not need any extra bolts, screws or locking devices. All of mine, except a take down, have the barrel screwed in by hand and then nipped up in a barrel vice using an action wrench. In fact, my target rifles, and the 264WM/7STW I pictured can be tightened by hand and shot that way, the precision is so good that the barrel does not come loose. CRF or push feed make zero difference, even with the extractor notch some action designs require in the barrel tenon. It’s no different to just re-barreling an action, you just need to square EVERYTHING up, bolt lugs, lug recesses, barrel shoulder and action ring etc. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
