Re: Accuracy International barrel change kit?
Don't remember exact prices now but when I priced one a few years ago it was way cheaper to buy a thunder beast arms action wrench, snap-on torque wrench, tubb barrel vice, and a set of .308 ptg gauges... I mean like several hundred dollars cheaper.

I think Mile High has them for around $150 but not completely sure. Maybe $125? Check them out.
Anyone know if the AI tool or AI like tool will work on Badger M2008s?

I don't think you can buy them unless you take the AI Armorer's course.

Gauges are go and no-go headspace gauges. They are part of AIs kit as well...
Have you read about and/or watched the videos online of the swap process yet?

That should give you a better idea what AIs kit entails and what you will need.

Thanks for the link. AINA did not mention the gauges when they gave me the details on the kit.

If you're referring to lowlights video from this years shot show, it was a new rifle they haven't released yet not a standard AX.

Also, there are some changes to the procedure based on what AI model it is... on the ax the handguard comes off and on an AE the action is removed from the chassis before removing the barrel.
Regarding the gauges... They may be sold seperate as they are specific to certain calibers.
Just curious, how much was their kit? I was happy with its quality when I swapped a friends barrel using their kit.

I left my notes at work but I think it was $700. Not cheap!

Not shipping and waiting...and waiting is the primary reason I'm considering the investment. Thanks
