Kudos for outside the box thinking! However, this appears to be an idea that will not make the cut for all the reasons mentioned above. Keep innovating though! gotta blast through many failed experiments to make progress, just ask Thomas Edison.

Has anyone seen this new patented barrel system by Wolf Precision. Supposed to be by BAT and when need new barrel, just thread on new barrel to the separate chamber mounted on BAT receivers. Wolf says that they are only ones doing this.

Too many joints for me................

Same brass different barrels! Good practices in chambering minimizes variations in chambers however, no matter what practices are used cutting tools wear when used, this would completely remove and possible variation in chamber so the same brass could be used for multiple barrels with the same sizing practice. That could be an advantage especially with the almost impossible to find or difficult to form brass. Just some thoughts!
How many barrels do you have to chamber with one reamer before you can recognize reamer wear in the brass?

Millions id guess
I was thinking it would be in that ballpark as well. A non-issue.

I doubt hundreds will be sold. You can get a barrel chambered for a bat in the mail and not have to worry about modular stuff
Any updates to this thread ?
Last I heard is that he has a patent on this. But, I really don't see people copying this idea. Makes no sense to me.

Since this thread started I had an interesting experience with jointing. It is generally the shoulder, not the threads that aligns a joint. I had a barrel overheat and bad fire cracking. I screwed it off, set it back, rechambered in the same round, and screwed it back on without changing anything on the rifle. Went back to the range and the POI was less than 1/2 moa from the previous POI.
Also, I had another rifle brought to me that was shooting so far left that the scope had inadequate adjustment. I suspected the shoulder. I aligned the barrel in the lathe for chambering, took a skim cut on the shoulder, adjusted the headspace for the skim cut, and the barrel shot at the center of the scope's adjustment.

As said, a solution looking for a problem? If it aint broke don't fix it? Novel idea, agreed
Take a look at the Remington model 742 semi-auto. I have two and they both have a barrel screwed into a chamber. Remington dropped this method after a short time like a hot potato! They will not even consider rebarreling or working on one. pdog2225
