Hey all, anyone have experience swapping/replacing the pipe on a TRG-22 when using the KRG barrel nut?
Is it easy? Can a man of average experience do it?
As for barrels, I see they sell SOTIC barrels on the KRG website, but they have limited options (i.e., only 20" for .308, no 24", or 26"), where else can replacement barrels be found? I read the nut system is the same as Savage, will Savage barrels work?
My main reason for asking is: I don't want to wait for a 'smith to receive my rifle, wait in the shop, repair, and ship back, seems like a waste of valuable range time! I prefer the look of the TRG over AI's, but the AI's ability to change a barrel in a snap is mighty appealing.
Thanks,
JB
PS
how durable is the plastic used for the TRG chassis? Does it hold up for field craft? Does the TRG rust easy (heard rumors)?
