Re: LRPV barrel/caliber swap
Sounds to me like you have it about right. Just make sure you get the proper bolt head for that left port ( i think the R bolt L port guns have a special or different one). A lot of people do switch barrel rigs. Me, so far I have been trying to keep one barrel on one action, and I guess as long as I can continue to afford recievers and stocks to go along with the barrels then thats what i'll do. I personally like having a dedicated rig, but I am planning to move out to the country in the next couple of years once I find the place that suits me and I imagine that when I am somewhere where i can shoot all i want a switch barrel rig will just kinda happen ;).
Re: LRPV barrel/caliber swap
A left hand bolt head is what you need for your swap. I have three barrels for LRPV, 6BR, 22-250AI and 7mm SAUM. Changing from one to the next is easy.
Re: LRPV barrel/caliber swap
Awesome! Glad I wasn't too far off base. Thanks for the replies!
Any suggestions for parts? I hear of Sharp Shooter Supply, haven't dealt with them yet.
Are there big headspacing issues with switching barrels? Or just screw it on?
Do I have a "large shank" or "small shank" receiver?
Thanks!

Thank you.
Re: LRPV barrel/caliber swap
Sorry.. wasn't sure where to post the question.
What would I need to do when switching barrels?
I'm not clear on "headspace"
Would this need measured each time?
Re: LRPV barrel/caliber swap
Yes you would have to headspace each time you change barrels. Headspace gauges or full length sized brass is needed to do this. Do a search on here, I know there are several threads about How To Headspace.
