BAT BUMBLEBEE, west texas quick change lug system

[HABU 1]

Hi there will the BAT BUMBLEBEE action be compatible to fix a west Texas ordanace quick change lug system to it?. Is it a big job for a competent Smith, what is the work evolved thanks Lee , GB. I'm just wanting a quick change varmint rifle , cheers Lee

Also got a BAT Tr if that is also compatible

Anyone who can pin a recoil lug can do it. If I can do it, anyone can do it. (Probably)

It can be done…but why? It solves a problem that didn’t exist. I tried like hell to talk a customer out of doing one last year and in the end he took it somewhere else…I was fine with it.

It makes perfect sense to me on varmint rifles where barrels get hot in the sun with high volume shooting on a dog town. Can swap barrels fast when they get hot without the need to place the barrel in a vice or use of an action wrench.

My answer to that would be you need multiple rifles, not barrels that likely will have slightly different zeros.

I get your point and in my mind, still not ideal.

Actually no, I wouldn't think it's compatible with the Bumblebee because of the steel insert in the front of the action. You could probably try and it might work but I certainly wouldn't do it. The TR would likely be the better choice.

Good point
