[QUOTE="EddieHarren, post: 307762, member: 5138"] Well, first of all, I would like to know why you think the recoil lug and barrel threads will wear and the front of the action will not. They all three are part of the process of installing and changing a barrel. I don't think you will wear any of these parts out due to changing barrels. I have been building and shooting BR, Tactical and live Varmint rifles for nearly 20 years. I have a Light Varmint BR rifle that has had at least 15 barrels on it over this period of time. Some of these barrels I still use. I can unscrew one and screw another on and never see noticable headspace. I think you are anticipating a problem which does not exist. As for the "white lubricant" turning grey, put some Iosso bore paste on a white patch, rub it on the outside of a SS barrel. The patch and the Iosso paste will turn black. It does not mean that the surface is being worn out. [/QUOTE]
