[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 983917, member: 27307"] YOSEPPY, There are two basic styles of Defiance actions: - One uses a washer-style recoil lug like the Remington 700 but it will have 2 pins. - The other has an integral lug machined into the receiver. Either will work just fine because the lug goes back to the same position every time. This is important because of bedding. You will need a barrel vise, a properly sized bushing and an action wrench to change out the barrels. Be sure to have the barrels marked and indexed so you can return them to the same headspace ever time as well. On the surface this appears to be a great idea to save money on individual rifles. However, after switching barrels a few times you might consider getting both as separate rifles... Regards. [/QUOTE]
