At first it seems a good idea, then looses its appeal after a bit. Stay in the hunt and look for complete rifles for just a little more money and you will probably be happier.

No the factory will not do it, if your shooing factory or med loads from the 45 Colt that will be OK as will the 357 and 22Hornet. but the 30-30 is right at the upper level and not as great an idea.
 I used to have a bunch of barrels and a couple receivers.. Now I have but a couple barrels with out receivers... Soon as I come across receivers for them the better...

About the only one that's been perfect as a switch barrel is my rimfires. I have one receiver and three barrels, switching back and fourth is not a problem. But I do have dedicated forends for all barrels.
