Gunsmithing AW Barrel question

[shoot4fun]

I have three Badger M2008 builds and an AW. I sit here wondering if I could be so lucky that the barrels from any of those M2008 rifles would thread onto, and headspace properly to, the AW action. After all, it really appears the M2008 was patterned after the AW. The action wrench works for both actions.
Anyone, maybe George from GAP (he built two of the rifles), know the answer here?

Re: AW Barrel question

got this off of the Badger website:

Barrel Thread: 1 1/16” X 16 3A, 1.37” long

Should have looked there first.

Looks like the answer will be no.

Thanks for the clue. Forgot about the metric threads.
Oh well.

Re: AW Barrel question

I ordered a Krieger 260 barrel from Mile High yesterday.
1 in 8, 24" threaded 5/8x24.
Great folks to do business with.
