West Texas switch lug system

So is it like a barloc that just stays with the barrel?

I know this is an old topic, but has anyone had any issues with the w.t.o. switchlug or are you guys still happy and running strong?

Five or six years of shooting and switching barrels and not having a single problem. Even adding a couple of new barrels.

I don’t have west Texas but I do have a MPA switch lug I believe they worked with or got the idea from west Texas. I have not had any issues switching from 6.5 CM to 6x47L and back.

After watching the video, I am amazed the rifle will group at all with literally no torque on the threads. Sorry, not buying into this.

There was another video floating around several years ago. Somebody zero'd a switchlug rifle and then smacked the barrel with a 2x4 and the zero moved 1-2" in the direction of the smack. Then he repeat it in the other direction. After torquing the barrel on, he hit it hard enough to dent the 2x4 and the zero never moved again.
