Switching barrel on an axis

[rakatak]

Ok. Thank you guys

So there's no discernable difference in the two lug options? The standard style lug seems like it would be more consistent. Maybe I'm wrong?

I had a problem getting a barrel off my Axis the threads had little balls of something it them, kept squirting WD-40 on the threads and worked the nut wrench back and forth. Took about 45 minutes or so .

Interesting.

I come from the old Savage camp.

Barrel nut wrench should be here this week, have been applying penetrating oil into the "Axis Gap" off and on.

If you can find some Kroil it works very well.

Left over sandblasting media. Always makes it fun to remove the OEM barrel. Good time to clean out the action threads as well.

If it has pillars and is bedded then the recoil lug difference has less of an impact.
