With appropriate breech notes per assembly-
Fit 1,2,3,4,5 Bbls w/ 1,2,3 bolt face diameters in the same action.
All dimensions held to the tenth(.0001") of which is UN-obtainable from the average 'plumber otherwise it is far from rocket science.
No "NUTS" required for tenth(.0001") repeatability.
1 barrel viceOne stock, scope, action, trigger assembly.
Multiple barrels.
It's supposed to be more economical.
And for a hunter it likely is.
If this system is working out for any established competition shooters, I'd like to hear their experiences.
I built 1 rifle with a hand tightened "Switch Lug" setup. It quickly got torqued up like a regular barrel.
I think the new action on the market that uses set screws driven sideways into the barrel tennon is an even worse design, although I haven't personally tried one, nor do I intend to.
The Bar-loc from ARC appears to be much better. It at least adds tension to the threads to strengthen the joint.
I have a 10.5 pound LV 6PPC for group shooting that I've considered turning in to a 6PPC / 30BR switch barrel rig so I can use the 30 in score shooting, but never did anything with it because I'm afraid it will turn in to a bastard that's good at neither.
In my mind, I don't want to shoot the 30BR for score at 10.5 pounds, so that would require adding a removable weight system to bring the gun up to 13.5 pounds in 30BR trim and back down to 10.5 pounds in PPC trim for group shooting.
I know of guys that do this or something similar to this but not sure how well it works out in the end. Thoughts? @Dusty Stevens @gunsandgunsmithing

You remember the amphicar? It wasnt a good car or a good boat. The difference between a 10.5 and 13.5 lv/hv isnt a removable weight. The stock is weighted thruout to be right. Here is a pic of a 10.5 stock next to a true hv 13.5 stock. Got the picture from a guy i bought the hv stock from so i apologize for bootlegging the pic ahead of time even tho i own the stock.
this ain't rocket science people. I do not know a short range BR competitor that does not own a barrel vise and an action lug wrench; along with several extra barrels.
Dusty, if you have ever built a 6PPC you know how easy it is to set one up. This is not a trade secret...
