Prayer Request Thread

Prayers up for me and my wife Heather. On motorcycle I had to swerve to try to avoid tboning a minivan that pulled out in front of me to turn across traffic. Was wearing all motorcycle gear except for pants including full face helmet.

Broke right tibia and fibula. Surgery this afternoon sometime. Our names already in Houston and Layton temples.

Prayers sent and wishing you and your wife a speedy recovery. Make sure you follow your PT after surgery to the letter although it may be painful at times it is the road to a full recovery.

PVA's 2025 "Freedom From The Crown Sale"

I know Warwick was talking about releasing their own action after having large qty's of a certain well known action companies actions finished actions sitting on their floor due to not getting paid. Warwick does excellent work. Glad to see they finally are releasing an action!
That certainly factored into the decision for them to release an action with their name on it. We have been supporting that endeavor for a while, especially since the whole fiasco that Aero pulled last year with the entire industry.

Any chance there is a left hand option for these actions?

Long action and short action?
Currently RH SA only, next big step is RH LA. The small step is ARC/Grendel/PPC bolt heads for the SA's to be able to run intermediate cases.

Very cool! Is the barreled action available on your website? I tried to find and it couldn’t see it, but could’ve missed it!

I tried to look on Warwick Tactical’s website as well but didn’t see it listed. Assuming too new?

Integral 20MOA base?

And how does the QC set screw work? If it takes origin barrels I’m assuming it doesn’t just press the set screw into the barrel threads?

R700 so it fits common chassis/stocks?
The official order dates had to start on 7/1 so the product is live now. Here's the link:

  1. Integral 20 MOA base.
  2. The prototype has that stupid set screw setup on there and we can make barrels with or without set screw install. Personally I am not on board with the set screw setup and for several years we've documented numerous issues with the set screw setup with customer barrels on other actions.
    1. Don't drive set screws into the tops of barrel threads, a set screw order will have to be made specific for it and I'm advocating that the production actions do not get set screws because it will cause issues with users downstream. I may or may not win that discussion.
  3. The inlet is a 700, though it matches the Solus exactly for the straight bolt and ejection port. Regular 700 SA chassis fit the action, some traditional stocks will need touch up around the handle if the stock inlet has a swept bolt handle. Normal stuff in the "700 clone" market.
  4. Weight is 37oz WITH a Timney 511 trigger, it was 33.5 without a trigger.

Suppressors Best thread locker for muzzle devices?

I've been using Rocksett for years on many muzzle devices and have not had one come off unless I wanted it to come off. Surface prep is key.
100%! If you didn’t properly degrease and clean both the threads and the internal threads on the device then it will come off as it didn’t properly bond. Prep the surface right and it will hold.

Consistency, or lack thereof

I didn't read through the whole thread so please forgive me if this has been done. Have you tried some Federal Gold Metal ammo with the 168 gr SMK and with the 175 gr SMK? The three 308 Win I've had over the years would shoot one of those good.

You're dot target looks pretty good. I don't know why the other target seems more scattered.

As was mentioned, some of the difficulty could be your technique/fundamentals. Personally, I sure had to work at it. I'm a lot better now but still not great.

later ..... this is what I used to learn the Fundementals. This is kinda dated but the basics apply.

Boeing down in India

Military.
Probably due to the limited amount of ground time, your aircraft most likely don't sweat up inside the tanks.
You don’t do it straight after refuel as you need to leave time for the water to settle in the bottom of the tanks.
Boeing say you need to wait 4hrs after refuelling, or running the fuel pumps before doing fuel drains.

However large amounts of water isn’t usually an issue these days as all the newer aircraft have jet pumps that pull fuel out of the lowest part of the tank. I can’t remember how much unusable fuel is usually in each tank, but without these pumps (not really a pump, just a Venturi from the normal pumps) water does definitely collect and need the sump drains done daily.
