Hey gents, quick question for you gunsmithing experts. I have a defiance deviant action with the bugnut barrel system on it.. im switching over to a left handed deviant action and was wondering if i could use my barrel for the new action...im thinking all i have to do is time the action and it should be gtg...am i correct or an idiot?

I apologize if this has been brought up before but i couldnt find a solid answer on here.

Thanks yall
 
IIRC, the Deviant is pushfeed... if so, you should be in good shape to just set the headspace with a GO gauge when installing the barrel on the new action.
 
Confirmed and tested...swap barrels regularly between left/right Deviants without issue. Of course, with correct headpsace....

The left/right extractors are different thought....mix them up and you will have problems. Ask me how I know....

ZY
