Why don't they all just make their chassis's all ambi. I would think it would make their customers happier at the end. I know us lefty shooters aren't that much, but how much extra does it actually cost to cut a bolt relief in on both sides of a chassis?

Doc

I built a reloading work bench about a year ago. Thing is sturdy and level as can be, but it's made of 2x4s and the top is sande plywood that is stained from locktite and grease and kind of beat up.

It looks like an eye sore. Any ideas for a durable top surface? What do you guys use? Was thinking about painting it with porch and patio paint? Sheet metal the top and paint the legs?

Thanks fellas

This is probably not the forum because this happened with factory ammo but other forums on the site don't seem to fit this post either.

After shooting about 350 rounds of the same lot # of 6mm ARC Hornady 108 ELD factory ammo, on the third round of the morning I felt a bit of extra recoil and this happened:



The bolt locked up and lucky for me there was a very nice guy shooting next to me that had all the tools. We put a rod down the barrel and he tapped on it while I hit the bolt hard with my hand and the case finally came out.

The action and bolt had no damage (Defiant Machine), but I didn't know if there was more damage and on top of that we could not find the primer and didn't know if there was.

My friend said "no problem" and produced a bore scope. After a through inspection, other than tiny loose bits of brass in the barrel there was no damage. And then we found the primer. It had gone in the magazine and then fallen to the ground when I removed the magazine to clear the rifle.

One in a million? I sure as hell hope so!

Excellent shape, like new. Just don't shoot it. Not put 200rds through it. Scope and rings not included. 750 shipped

The Abundant Birth Project began in June 2021 to serve pregnant women with $1,000 monthly payments over 12 months to 150 people. The program is intended to "reduce the racial birth disparities by easing economic stress."

On Tuesday, San Francisco's Department of Public Health announced a $5 million grant in state funding to expand the program in Alameda, Contra Costa, Los Angeles and Riverside counties for the next two to three years

Well....they knew what they were doing, they thought no one would care....

A few recents going together this morning.

When I was a kid (1950's) one of the big debates was about perpetual motion. Was it achievable? Looks like someone has achieved it, at least until the gizmo wears out. Now if you could harness that energy and multiply it by millions, you might have something.

What is your thoughts on this, I have many reservations, But, Hope they do make the right call?

Anybody experiencing that their bolt-lugs on Curtis Custom Valor galls during cycling?

Eager to know what people have done to sort this out and to fix it?

My story below:

In 2021 I figured that I'd give the Valor a chance. Setting aside 2000+ USD to purchase the action, spare bolts and parts. The exitement was high upon arrival. Rushing of to the gunsmith with the a fresh barrel and the brand new action. I had seen som slight wear of the bolt surfaces and lugs prior to this, but somehow convinced myself that it it was supposed to be like that. (never had nitrided actions before)

Got the gun back from my gunsmith amd headed to the range for the initial test runs. During load development I'd see all kinds of weird pressure signs, even though I was on the lower end wrt charge weights.
During this process I inspected the bolt lugs to be heavily galled. Compared with my inital headspace to current one had increased by 0.005 in.

Back to the gunsmith to redo the headspace. Same story, headspace constantly increasing due to the bolt lugs galling severly.

In total I've been back and fort to the gunsmith three times in just a little over 600 rounds.
Headspace have increased a total 0.011.

Attaching a few photos of how my bolt look like today. Also note that it startet galling prior to having fired any rounds. (de-greased)

I know of a few others that faced the same kind of issues.

Just speculation from my side now, but I do suspect that the action and the bolt material hardnesses are way of eachother, whereas the bolt is simply to soft. Lapping will not fix it.
Could also very well be a machining-issue as parts of the receiver body to have very sharp edges, particulary the receiver bearing surfaces.

I'd have to give Credit to Curtis wanting to fix this. I am however very concerned about the long-term quality for PRS-Use.

Eager to know your thougts.

I'm sure this dead horse has been beaten many a time so my apologies.

I got a protecktor rabbit ear bag for a front rest I bought and it works great, but shooting prone with this thing is a pain in the nuts. Looking for a bag strictly for static shooting off a bench and prone and load development. Looking at the precision underground elr 3D bag. For those that have them, can it be adjusted by squeezing if I need to go up or down a little? Any other suggestions on others? I just got an atlas cal bipod, and I'd like to take advantage of this thing with a better rear bag.
