Re: Barrel removal M2008 AICS
You should not have to remove the action from the stock. Tighten the barrel up in a barrel vise, use the proper action wrench and go for it. To my knowledge, only actions with a removable recoil lug (Remington, Savage, etc) require taking the action out of the stock. I have one pinned lug on a R700 and it can go thru barrel change without removal from the stock.
