I have a question about changing barrels on modern made High Walls from Winchester/Browning/Miroku.  The answer is probably obvious, but can you take a High Wall barrel stamped Browning and fit it to a Winchester action?  If so, then what are "the Devil is in the details" issues to take into consideration?  As I said, my hunch is that the barrels will interchange between Miroku made Brownings and Winchesters, but every time I assume I usually make the former out of me and not you!  Thanks much and I appreciate your help.

Thanks and that's the Devil I eluded too.  It too could be a serious buzz kill in sizing up potential projects.

Nope they are not interchangeable.  For some reason unknown to me, Miroku changed the thread pitch, dimensions & shank profile when the later Winchester BPCRs were made vs. the earlier Browning BPCRs.

Thanks.  It sounds to me like removing a barrel is a pain in the rear and that one should not count on barrels matching the threads on receivers of unknown date of manufacture.  In my case I was wondering the odds of a Browning BPCR barrel fitting up to a "Winchester" Traditional Hunter or Trapper.  And its not sounding good with the info posted in this thread.  Thanks again!
