Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

Great video John. Thanks for posting.
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

Very good video. You don't use any loctite on your threads when puting a new barrel on?
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

Nicely done. Thanks for that!

You are doing 100lbs on the barrel and 89 on the chassis, eh?
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

Super nice job on the video.

PMing you with a question about the barrel.
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

Very much appreciated. Thanks
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

The caliber stamp ended up at 12 o'clock. That is about perfect. Of course the profiles are vastly different so no chance of me confusing the .308 and .243 even if the markings weren't visible.
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

Great job on the video this would have come in handy when I had my AE MKII. Thanks for doing this stuff.
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

LoneWolf, I'm inspired! I've had an Obermeyer blank sitting around for a couple of months now and have been itching to do something with it. I Guess this'll be it... just gotta send Dennis a PM now...
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

Well made video sir. I like the thought of being able to rebarrel in my shop, no down time

. Thanks for the knowledge.
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

Dennis's action wrench is great. I recently purchased one. You will not be disappointed
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

I need to pick up one of these wrenches-and a barrel, thanks LW for the video!
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

Thanks for the excellent video. Where did you get your .243 barrel?
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

LoneWolf, have you shot the new barrel yet? How does it shoot? Are you happy with it?
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

Shot a ladder with it at 200 and 300. Can't judge accuracy from the ladder, just a charge weight the barrel may like. Going to shoot it Tuesday for accuracy.

I don't have any factory .243 ammo around so I have to run a workup before I can judge anything. Of course this is nice because it also smooths out the barrel a bit.

Got a LOT to do this week to dial this thing in for KPRC next weekend.
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

Just for kicks, do you know the tenon length on the barrel you had taken off? I am trying to get a comprehensive profile pattern of the barrel I have on my AE MKIII now and I don't have to tools to pull the barrel off at will.

Not yet, anyway.
 
Re: Barrel Change on the AE MkII

Is an AX barrel change the same or not.

Same wrench and vice. Procedure is a little different since the AX receiver does not come out of the chassis. I do believe you are supposed to remove the forearm before pulling the barrel.
