A Wechsel Lauf is the barrel that can be exchanged with the existing barrel of a firearm.
Legally, one distinguishes between exchange barrels and Wechsel Läufe: An exchange barrel can be replaced by the hunter or shooter themselves, while a Wechsel Lauf requires a gunsmith to be installed.
A Wechsel system includes not only the barrel but also the appropriate bolt, trigger unit, and possibly magazine.
Wechsel Läufe offer the advantage that with their help, one can fire cartridges of a different caliber from the same weapon. Only the aforementioned parts of the weapon need to be exchanged accordingly.
Exchange barrels are particularly popular with regard to combination rifles. With the help of an exchange barrel bundle, a combination rifle can quickly be turned into a double-barreled shotgun.
The costs for Wechsel Läufe vary greatly depending on the type, caliber, and suitable weapon type.
A Wechsel Lauf is an essential part of a firearm and is treated legally the same as a firearm. Acquisition and possession are free for the holder of a firearms ownership card if they already own a weapon in the same or lower caliber.
New and used Wechsel Läufe can be purchased either from the gunsmith / weapon dealer of your choice or online. On Gunfinder.de, you can quickly find the ideal Wechsel Lauf for you thanks to intelligent filters and great offers.
