Would be cool if it weren’t limited to only PRCs too.

I hope they can really take advantage of the switch barrel system. They say more to come of the website.
I like my switch lugs alot. A bigger outfit like gunwerks moving that way is neat.

Gunwerks just finished up a bolt face for standard calibers. I’m expecting 6mm creedmoor, and either a 22 creed or 22-250 barrel option soon. I’m sure more to come, those are the ones that were discussed specifically.

I was thinking about one of these just for something different and came across this thread. I take it that the problems never got solved since it stopped over a year ago. no more review?

Last i heard, the safety issue got improved but is still very stiff at times.

Regarding a switch barrel, I know GW has a proprietary system, but I figure the rifle itself wouldn’t hold a zero in serious drops being a switch barrel. Maybe I’m wrong.

My WTO switchlugs do hold zero. I have dropped them and tested them. 3' was as high as I dared drop them. I did drop them impacting the barrel first too in a couple of instances.

I couldnt speak to gunwerks though.

I'm not that familiar with the setup but there are switch barrel configs that are pretty robust. AIs dont seem to have issues with it.
