I'm not sure what you're referring to? That they didn't charge me to remove factory barrel and install new barrel? Not sure if PVA charges for that but PBB and others do. It's extra work so no reason they shouldn't charge for it.

Prefits for actions that accept them are not a shortcut for anything except having to pay shipping both ways and wait for a smith to screw a barrel on for you. With the quality companies who do them you aren’t giving up accuracy at all.

I never said they were a shortcut. I'm just trying to point out that if a guy is going to need the smith to remove factory barrel and install replacement, there is zero reason to limit their search to pre-fits because whoever is going to do the work will need his action in hand anyway. There is no benefit to a barrel being a "pre-fit" in this case.

A very good scale would be #1, annealer #2, then if you want the convenience and really think you can't live without it the powdered trimmer.

There, solved it in an efficient manner!

Really not the place for this discussion, but I want to point out that the entirety of scripture, not just the NT is pointing at Christ.

Carry on.

I've seen a hand-threaded bbl that worked plenty good enough for the purpose. It was done with a 1/4"NPT die. A few more pipe fittings were added along with other misc materials for a tube etc. Worked very well for a .22. That was many moons ago, the guy who had it died in an unfortunate maritime accident as he was transporting his material goods across a very large expanse of uncharted waters.

I hope so.

I was hoping to wake up to this news.

I honestly never really listened to Charlie Kirk or consumed any of his stuff. Didn't really know much about him, beyond the fact that he's a conservative commentator that I've seen references to. I'm not a big politics guy. But his assassination has really consumed me. I haven't been able to take my mind off of it.

A murder has never consumed me like this before. I think our country has changed, and probably for the worst. This is a watershed moment, and I fear where it leads us.

Most anyone that would spin up a custom barrel or made to order pre-fit can also remove your factory barrel and spin on the new one. The thing is there's no reason to limit yourself to a "pre-fit" if you're going to send your barreled action in. So basically any gunsmith youd want to chamber a new barrel for you could take care of it.

"Pre-fits" are usually priced based on a gunsmith not having to fit the barrel to your action and most pre-fit places will charge an additional fee to remove the factory barrel and install new barrel. I've sent factory tikka barreled actions to 4 different gunsmiths to chamber/fit new barrels and not one of them charged me to remove factory barrel and install their newly chambered barrel. Thats to say, price savings for a pre-fit might not be significant once that is taken into account.

Manzella was the latest to do a tikka barrel for me and I'd recommend him without hesitation. He does want to measure tikka actions for the first barrel he chambers for one which is no skin off your back if you want the barrel removed anyway.

Then keep going down (close it up), and a heavier buffer and/or stronger spring. BigJake, Supercorndogs, and others pretty much covered it. That ammo is showing high pressure in your rifle in it's current configuration.

The flattened neck is of no concern, but the shaved brass from the extractor cut out is a big clue. Now that may because that area on your bolt has a burr, or is just very sharp. Many on here do some work to our bolts before the first round is ever fired with it. Radius and polish of the ejector, polishing the extractor ledge mentioned above (or whatever it is called officially), dehorning the extractor, polishing the lugs on the 3 o'clock side of the barrel extension, and polishing the feed ramps are mine. That is before the first round is fired. Some folk buy a complete rifle (WTH) so the barrel extension part is much harder to get to, but it helps make the Rifle kinder to the brass. The bolt work described helps keep a lot of the brass shavings in check (or not have brass shavings at all). In my opinion, any brass shavings is a bad thing and anywhere you see them, should be looked into and fixed.

At minimum, clean that bolt face, remove the extractor and clean under it, feel for sharp edges at the corner of the extractor (bet it will be sharp), IMO chunk the donut on the extractor spring, and if you have the know how remove the ejector and put a small radius and polish it.

I have fired that same ammo in my ARC's for barrel break in and it is warm, but never see that kind of build up or buggered up brass. In your case I believe it is a couple different things going on that the other posters have described.

If you (and people like you) spent all this time you spend on the forum spreading Moscow propaganda about my country on the welfare of your country, I think the situation would be better.
At least you would know the reasons.

Bullshit. Production was moved abroad to destroy the American middle class and it's stable prosperous family structure. At the same time the deep state flooded our communities with ever increasing amounts of hard drugs to finish the job. Why? IMHO: broke hopeless drug addicts with little family connection are easy to turn into a new self class.

What is the highest decibel reduction suppressor for 6.5 Creedmoor? I am thinking about getting one but am completely confused which one has the best performance.

I’m not hung up on it being an actual 6.5mm suppressor, .30 is fine, I’m just looking for the most objectively effective.

You worried about length? What’s the use of the rifle?
