Investarms Santa Fe and Bridger Hawken question

[JJohnson2023]

Hello everyone, is anyone privy to whether or not the Investarms Santa Fe Hawken and Bridger Hawken barrels are interchangeable? both are 28 inches, 15/16 of an inch wide, and octagonal. Any reason why they wouldn't be interchangeable? The Santa Fe is only in 36, but the Bridger is in few calibers. It would be nice to get the Santa Fe and have a Bridger barrel for larger game and versatility if possible. Anyone able to test this or provide insight would be appreciated.

I tried to swap mine and there were some fit issues.

How big were the issues, totally incompatible? were you able to get them to interchange without making alterations? Minor alterations

Minor alterations mostly on the forecap.
Moderate alteration on the wedge vertically and horizontally.
