[QUOTE="fireball168, post: 165830, member: 8526"] I've got a couple of commercial Mausers and push feed Winchesters that I've had for years. I've rebarreled them time and again for whatever cartridge struck my fancy at the time. I've kept the rest of the barrels around, with the brass, dies, etc. In a way, I guess they are "switch barrelled". Although, every one of those barrels has been on and off the receiver no less than three times. First, checking headspace and test firing after fitting and chambering. Second, removal of the barrel for caliber engraving. Third, removal for replacement of something else. The receivers haven't changed a bit. I kept measurements from the first time I squared them up, nothing has changed. I've experienced no galling of the receiver shoulder or barrel shoulder on the Winchesters, or the inner torque shoulder or face of the barrel on the Mausers. Always assembled with moly grease. Headspace hasn't changed for me on any of them. [/QUOTE]
