There are a few modern systems that do not use the screwing and unscrewing of the barrel threads to accomplish the task. Instead they use some sort of linkage or lever to lock and hold the barrel in place. These are not prone to the same type of wear as rifles that depend upon barrel threads for attachment. I believe most of these guns are of Germanic or European design ...

And the Mauser 03:

These systems involve the bolt locking up in the barrel rather than the receiver/action eg Mauser, Sauer, Dakota.

Some of the designs allow switch barrels.
