    I am intrigued by the AX PSRII Rifle and its quick change barrel system. What are your guys thoughts on adding a set screw in the side of a badger M2008 action to emulate the system that the AX PSRII Rifle uses for the quick change barrel system.

    would be interesting to see if it works.

    Have you tried it yet?

    A quick change barrel in a M2008 would be awesome, if it could be done at the same price point. Marty would sell a bunch of them for sure. He should partner with GAP to chamber the barrels and then give me a bunch to beta test.

    Does anyone have a picture of a the threads for a barrel? Is the bolt on the side of the rifle used as an index or a clamping mechanism?

    I like the idea of the barrels having a groove at the bottom where the bolt can index the barrel at the same spot every time, and also prevent it from spinning off.

    Switch barrel m2008 in a whiskey 3 chassis... All kinds of win

    Real answer.

    It's more than just a screw run up against the threads of the barrel tenon. Come to the Shot Show or buy the PSR kit and have a look is all I can say.
