WTO Proprietary System · Featured at SHOT Show 2017

One action.
Any caliber.

The WTO SwitchLug is a multi-caliber barrel exchange system that lets one bolt-action rifle shoot multiple cartridges. Swap calibers in the field with a torque wrench — no gunsmith visit required after the initial installation at WTO.

How It WorksSwitchLug · Four Steps
01
WTO Install
Your action comes to WTO. We install the SwitchLug system and headspace your first barrel. All work is verified on the bench before return.
02
Pre-fit Barrels
Order additional pre-fit barrels from WTO — each one is chambered and headspaced at the shop to your specific SwitchLug-equipped action.
03
Field Swap
Swap calibers using a torque wrench set to WTO's spec. The swap takes under 10 minutes. No action disassembly. No tools beyond a torque wrench.
04
Zero at Range
Each barrel maintains its own zero. Keep a data card per barrel. Headspace is guaranteed — no re-zeroing the action, only the optic for each cartridge.

System Benefits

More calibers.
One investment.

Instead of buying a second rifle for a different cartridge, a SwitchLug-equipped action lets you run multiple barrels on the same bedded, trigged, optic-ready platform you've already broken in and trust.

  • Run a hunting barrel in 6.5 PRC and a training barrel in .308 Win on the same action
  • Add a rimfire barrel for cost-effective practice at distance
  • WTO wildcat calibers (7mm SAW, 25 SAW) available as pre-fit barrels
  • Each barrel ships with a headspace verification card from WTO
  • Compatible with Defiance, Bighorn, Impact, and other precision actions — see compatible action list
