Pulled from IG

Well as an update... they brought in gun #5 end of the week before. They needed the gun back before the 11th as one of the guys that used it was going out for some LE training.

So John worked on it pretty much right away. Jeff here in the shop took it to the range on Monday last week. Box Hornady ammo shot sub 1/2moa.

Replaced the scope mount.

No bolt to barrel clearance. Bolt was hitting the breech face like on two of the other ones and the other two had only like .004" clearance. So John fixed that. He also had to break the edges on the chamber and bolt nose counterbore as the edges where all sharp.

Head space was good but John repolished the chamber.

Cut and recrowned the muzzle and rethreaded the muzzle.

Flip the night vision mount around.

Rifle #5 had a really loose fitting trigger in it. Either it's in the trigger body being undersize or the receiver from Remmy was cut to large. So we installed and loaned them a Trigger Tech trigger for now. It fit much better but still a little loose. I told them to send the other trigger back to the manufacturer and see if they can look at it and see what's up. I said when you get a new one bring the rifle back into us and will swap the triggers out. The Trigger Tech trigger we installed will be used by then so I told the shop I would buy it from the shop and put it into one of my rifles.

So other than the note on the trigger pretty much the same thing as the others so far.

Waiting on guns #6 and #7 now to come in.

I had that happen with a different rifle last fall but my new rifle build has a barrel installed by PVA in 6CM. On the off chance I experience a zero-shift (very unlikely to be the barrel I'm sure), would torquing the barrel to 100 ft/lbs change the headspace or cause issues if the barrel was originally chambered by PVA for a 75 ft/lbs torque?

I know this is kind of in the weeds but I'm just making sure if something pops up down the line I have some nuclear options open to me. I already switched over to a NF ATACR scope, loctited/witness marked every screw on the new gun/scope base/rings, etc.

I would be more worried about every other variable that can effect zero shift than the barrel torque. Do you know 100% it was how the barrel was torqued on? I really think your OCD is messing with you.

A very well known and respected rifle company here on the Hide for 25 years and building many hunting and match rifles doesn’t even use a torque wrench. They use a long T handle action wrench and tighten the action on the barrel, when it touches they come off about a 1/4 turn and then slam it tight. Done. That’s magnums and others. Never hear about their rifles loosing zero.

I don’t old guess 8.5-9” by using a quick tap measure. 1:8 twist.

Wonder what the chambers look like and how well they were dialed in?

That's the funky part. Chambers actually looked pretty decent. Every one we've checked even head spaced.

Yeah, I've been back and forth through spam - not there. Maybe there was a problem submitting the ticket? I'll try to resubmit, I guess. Thanks

Just put "back" together a 15" shorty in 6 Creed in a MACS chassis. Waiting on Cerakote in either FDE or Coyote Tan.
Still trying to decide on a relatively small hunting optic. I've used a 5-25 Vudu before and I really didn't LOVE it, but I'm thinking new new one in FDE might be acceptable considering the size.

This looks fucking sick

Maybe. Possibly. Ask Leidos.

It’ll be cool if Kristi Noem’s cool super scanner comes on line and mitigates the whole process of having to get patted down. Of course that would required actual x-ray of people so, yeah probably not the best thing.

Do what I do and fly private. You can avoid getting your nuts touched if you do that.

Thanks Doug. I understand your position and respect that as a business owner representing their customer base. As a Meopta owner, I love their glass. I haven't found much that competes with them in the glass category at their price point.

I agree they're products have been excellent. Their new lines of riflescopes are now designed in the Czech Republic and quality control checked in the Czech Republic, however, they will now be assembled in China. This is a big difference in their operation and is the result of their corporate restructuring last year.
