Gunsmithing Badger M2013 prefit barrels

[Butler12]

Hi,
I just picked up a Badger M2013 Lapua action in a McMillan A5 stock in a trade.
I was wondering about prefit barrels for this action? Can they be done safely off the chamber blueprint that is on the Badger website as I see it is stated that they all headspace the same with the breeching ring.

Last time I was up there, Marty said they would. I’d call them up Monday and ask to be sure, but I have the same action and we talked about switch barrel setups on the M2013 for a bit. I plan on having a couple more barrels chambered for it over the next few years.

Worst case, a smith needs it once and that’s it.

My understanding is that the smith should be able to do em off the prints, and was the whole reason I went with the action when I had the rifle built. I've had one barrel spun up for my rifle when it was built, and since rebarreled with a slightly used one I found here on the hide. I have no idea who chambered it, but its been problem free and shoots great.

The actions are made about 100' from where I'm typing this. The breech ring prints are accurate and we do offer them as well.

Happy to help.

I would also be interested in this as well. I have a SA M2013 and just got all my required equipment for swapping barrels.
