3 lug barrel on a Stribog

[wired]

Picked up a 3 lug barrel from in lead we trust. Nice piece.

How hard is it to change the barrel on a Stribog?

Not bad. ILWT sells a barrel wrench for about $40 that reaches down inside the upper to remove the barrel nuts.

How much wobble?
I'm a long time 3 lug bbl user (TROS, HK farts etc.)
They vary wildly in tolerances.

Very tight actually. I have several 3 lugs TROS, Foxtrot Mike , adapters etc. The Navy style ILWT measures .587" at the muzzle which is a hair under the ID spec of .590" ( 15 MM ) for 3 lug couplers. Its larger in OD than most of other barrels and adapters by a few thousandths . The TROS being the same dimension. Honestly though I run a 45 Tirant silencer so I'm not that concerned about some slop .

I'm hoping when they do the RDB generation it'll have a 3 lug option from the factory. I'd get one then.

I'm hoping someone makes a conversion although from my ARs that have radial delay vs ones that are just well tuned blowback I dont see much if any difference.
