Zermatt origin barrel on TL3 action

[Andrew863]

I have a Zermatt origin now, and I would like to build a TL3 to try AW mags but be able to use some of my origin barrels on the TL3. Ray at Zermatt said PVA used to make a ring to move the barrel out .100 so u could do this, since the origin tenon is .100 longer. I was wondering if anyone knew of anyone that currently makes one. I talked to PVA and they said they don't make them any more.

IIRC HLR made or makes a lug that adapts TL3 barrels to Origin actions.

Hunt’s Long Range lug:

HLR Origin 0.150 Thick Recoil lug | Hunt's Long Range

Here it is! Do you have a Big Horn TL3 and a Big Horn Origin? Do want to be able to swap the barrels between your actions? HLR has your answer! This precision ground 0.150" thick recoil lug will take the place of the 0.250" thick standard lug that comes with the Big Horn Origin.This

I need to go out .100 not in .100

You don’t say…

Can this be done with a barrel nut prefit? I understand that if it's a shouldered prefit it would need the spacer.

But can a barrel nut prefit just be headspaced out and torqued?

I would think u could but my origin barrels are all proof shouldered pre fits. Im probably going to call in a favor at the machine shop i use to work at if no one can point me in the right direction to buy one. I wish someone would make a lug that was .250 think and had the .100 spacer on the front.
