First, I hope I'm asking the following in the correct thread and second, I hope I can ask this question in a manner that makes sense to those who read it!! As indicated in the title, I have a Savage Model 12 F/TR and I already have a Lilja 6mm, 8-twist barrel blank of the same length and contour as the current .308 barrel ordered for it which I plan to have chambered in 6XC. What I'm hoping to accomplish here is to have this project end up with an actual honest-to-goodness switch-barrel rifle. My question is what all will I need to do to make this work out. On some of the stuff I've read, it has been said that heavier recoil lugs will be needed as well as having special, trued barrel nuts made as well as other things. With this being my first time working with a Savage rifle and barrel system, much of what I've read I must admit I didn't really understand. With many of you guys on here having years of knowledge working with/on these rifles, I felt this would be the best place to start out to get some answers.

The bottom line is: what all will I need to do and what all parts and pieces will I need to make my rifle into a true switch-barrel rifle. Many thanks in advance for your help.
