Ah yes the not so friendly to thread SSG. You need a 3" spindle and a lathe the size of an F-350 to fit all that in there but you can make it happen. Just one way of working around pressed in barrels.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11
So damn cool with the SSG. Is this something you are going to be willing to do in the future or was this a one time thing? I have been wanting to do a build on one of these actions for a very long time. I love the action and trigger (single trigger), but have yet to find someone willing or set up to rebarrel it. Now just to get the bottom metal figured out.
Good to hear about the new family, congrats and enjoy!

With a pressed in barrel it doesn't lend itself to a build well but it could be done. The work would be a little beyond the normal scope of things but doable. The bad deal is the plastic magazine system. It would be hard to justify that much coin into a system with a plastic DBM system.
This was just a thread project on a rifle with a pressed in barrel and a backwards bi-pod. I left it that way for the photo ;-)
They are doable but require extra time and effort. I actually take them to my buddies shop and do them there because we don't have a lathe big enough to do it. Nothing about it is ideal so I don't generally look for the work but it is doable. It's interesting working with a 24" chuck

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11
I know we have talked about it on the phone in the past and you were not really set up to do one then. I thought this was a rebarrel and you may have got some new toys in the shop. I know it would be quite an expensive project to do, but I like the actions for some reasons.

This was just a thread job and I take it else where to do it. We don't have a lathe with a 3" plus spindle in the shop.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11
Harvey was showing off his skills here recently when we had a break in the weather. He now holds the record by .002 and I doubt I'll top this. If you don't think it's possible go shoot 1 bullet through a piece of paper and measure it. It is in fact possible just rare.

Hey Jared, I'm looking for 2 fat bastards for a couple 338 builds in a few months. Are these something you keep in stock at all times? Thanks, Dan.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11
Most of the time we keep them in stock. Currently we have them all in stock but we have sold quite a few and don't have them on the production schedule until May so you might want to grab them now.
Chris we look forward to seeing you on the 25th

Jared,
What is your current estimated turn around time on a customer supplied parts build?
Thanks!

It really depends on when it hits the door and what the project entails. probably 60-90 days if you have the parts.
I got your'e SF brake slapped on there yesterday for you.
Looks good, should help me keep from dicking it up.
I've done a similar crown for well over a decade. It's just the finishing touches on it that make it nice. A machinist would pick up more by looking at it then the typical customer would.
Gotcha, looks like all the corners are rounded as opposed to having an angle to them (except the important corner that is). Maybe my TRG will be wearing a crown like that soon, sooner than later if it keeps shooting the way it has been...
They make barrels every day my friend. I go through them like toilet paper and treat them as such when they are done with a smile on my face.
Very well put.
We are running trigger guards at the moment. We will be running rings right behind that but we are probably 60 days from making chips on the rings.
The best way to go about that is to email Jodie at [email protected]
Tell her what you want and give her your contact info. She'll put you on the waiting list. She is out of the office today but she should be back tomorrow.

Another little AR-15 headed to a happy customer. The smallest group we fired during break in was in the Mid .1's I can't remember for sure. I do remember the largest group was a .7
At 400 yards the 5 shot groups were mostly .5 MOA or less and the 1 10 shot group had two in the wind that opened it to 1 MOA.

Beautiful AR Jered and what a shooter! I am going to need you to do a full build for me someday instead of just tweaking stuff I already own.
Well we aim to please. We'll be ready when you are.
Here's just a quick shot of my rifle during load development. Going with 41.6gr of N550 showed pressure signs at 41.8. That first 41.6 group was a cold/clean bore group. I'll take it though LOL I'll start dancing off the lands here to see what she really likes. These were shot off a bipod. I know people here prefer 5 round groups but with powder and bullets hard to come by I'm fine with 3 shots till this "madness" subsides. Again thanks Jered for a wonderful rifle and since you know me, she's been kryloned and abused already. Between ladder tests group tests with different size bullets and brass she has over 300 rounds in her already. Here's the load so far
260 Rem
Lapua Brass
139gr Scenars
41.6gr N550
CCI #34 primers
.01 off lands

I posted this in another section as well, so if it looks familiar, well, that's why. I figured I'd also put in here being this is an APA master piece and can travel along with all other APA builds. With that said, if you want a custom of all custom precision rifles, give Jered a ring, you won't regret it.
I got the new APA 6xc this past weekend, and just wanted to share the results. Above is what she looks like.
-McCree stock
-Geniess Action
-26" Bartlein Barrel 1-8
-Little Bastard Brake
-AI AW mags
-Atlas Bipod
-APA 'Tank' Rings. These things are flat out badass
-Premier 5-25x56 Scope
This is literally the first 5 rounds down the tube. 5 shot group at 100.
This is at 250ish. Another 5 shot group.
Here is what I'm running:
-105 Berger Hybrids
-39 grns of H4350 its running 3030 FPS
-.020 off lands
Overall this thing is a laser. It shoots way better than me. Aside from the 6XC consumables being non existence, I'm very happy with the caliber. Along with Jereds knowledge with chiseling metal, this should put me were I need to be for a long while.

Considering you haven't even "worked the load up" yet I'd say she is certainly headed for greatness. If I understood you correctly you just stuck that load in there to see what it would do correct?
Thats right Jered. After talking with some, and researching, I decided to start with that load. What would be the chance of hitting the perfect load on the first attempt?
Slim but what you are doing is obviously working. Keep up the good work.
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up and let you know that we aren't currently taking in any work that isn't a complete build or a barrel job. We have a lot of work in the shop right now and in an effort to keep everyone happy we wanted to make this temporary move. We have over 70 Broughton 5C barrels in route and we'll continue to take in barrel jobs. We want to thank all the customers that have stood buy us and we look forward to serving you guys as efficiently as possible. We will pick this work back up as soon as we catch up but right now we need to clear it out and stay focused on our full build customers.
Thanks for your continued support.

Here are some recent groups from two of the Paragons we are sending out next week:
Not too shabby on the averages.

Had a chance to check one of the paragons out today!
Danged nice!! Well balanced and looks awesome!
Its kick ass!! Sensational test target too!! Harvey really can show off the rifles potential!!
Great job Jered!
