Extra Barrels for Action I No Longer Have

Yeah, any action with the same tenon threads should be able to use them. May need to be set back a bit and chamber cleaned up to set headspace but that’s easily doable, right.
Are they good barrels and worth doing?
And yes, I’m def not one of the gunsmiths or machinists on this site. Listen to one of them! Lololol
I was just assuming you’re sorta fishing for offers…so I was giving you crap.
I agree with @Baron23 in that you’ll have to entice a dude with more knowledge than both of us to comment in order to know if you can have them machined to work on some other action.
Are you done with shooting? Like done done? Or do you have other actions?
They might fit a surgeon or impact or lonepeak depending on when the surgeon was made.
You most likely will have to reset the shoulder to properly headspace though.
Provided they aren’t skinny hunting barrels hopefully there should be enough meat to chop and rechamber for anything.

Yep, the gentleman who spins my barrels used to work at Surgeon when they were an Oklahoma company. He's spun up extra barrels for my 1086...HOWEVER, he wanted to see my action to make sure he properly set headspace. They are NOT like an Impact et al. where a prefit from one should spin onto another perfectly.
So chances are, a little machine work might be in order to get them to headspace on someone else's Surgeon action.

You have an Impact action or access to one? Spin them on and see if they headspace correctly. Good chance they might, or at least be close enough to be reasonable.
