For anyone getting a shouldered barrel and using the BARLOC, any idea what needs to be done to the threads and chambering on the barrel to account for the extra BARLOC and washer system?

Haha I guess I set myself up for that one. I reached out to ARC and got my answer - the dimensions are on their instruction sheet.
so I have not been following the JHR situation recently... where are we in the process of getting these out to shooters?
Could someone give me a brief sitrep?
thanks

same as we have been. ATF marking variance
I think someone's gonna have to make a trip to Washington to get a fire lit under somebody's ass.
West Virginia... I’d rather wait than make a trip to West Virginia.
Get Don Jr to test one out.
I've already told Josh he needs to arrange for a hooker to show up in the right person's hotel room. He thought I was joking.
Well I can do that, I'm right here in the nation's capital. Just let me know the name and address and I can go make it happen.
Sucks that red tape is holding this product up. We have always heard how the little shop is at a disadvantage in DC, now we have an example.
No man, there is some good shooting in WV. ASC is one of the original and best field shooting matches around. Peacekeeper has some good options too.
No, I got the email... I was quickly excited that there was good news. Unfortunately, not.
Email got me excited as well! Patiently waiting to hear my barrel has shipped ... any day now.
My barrel came in this week.
Lenny, when did you order?
I want to say May. I also have a barreled action on order but I ordered it relatively late so I'm not expecting it anytime soon. Most likely will not be the first batch of actions Josh gets.
Status update on the Variance was posted here, just in case others might miss it I'll copy it below

On barrels, I know we're behind on some barrels. Most of the stuff that doesn't require cerakote or a non-standard twist rate is shipped out. We have more blanks coming as part of the usual orders with Rock Creek and PROOF. Anyone waiting on a carbon barrel, so are we. The stuff is running 22wk from the 12-16 that we were quoted.
We got in our first batch of Origin receivers, they landed today. I have 4 receivers left unspoken for.
I also have 1 barreled action Origin in 6mm Creedmoor with a Whitley Palma contour (a shade heavier than Med Palma, slightly lighter than Marksman). It's a 26" with a Hybrid throat in it, cut rifled. Ready to go, call the shop for a crack at it - $1450 shipped no trigger
Tripods are delayed for a part in customs. It's frustrating getting the paperwork through and hearing yet another delay but that's part of the game I suppose when dealing with overseas production of parts.
We are making some more barrel nuts right now for all the various sizes. We ran out of the Tikka and RPR nuts, that delayed some barrel orders from shipping because we didn't have the nuts to go with them. Those nuts are all leaving for Nitride on Monday. I'm running material through the lathe all weekend to make that deadline.

How are the barreld Nucleus actions looking?
We have a good start on them, 12 receivers arrived and we got the springs swapped out.
We have notified the first guys in the list and shipped some of them. That's why I mentioned the FFL paperwork above, we still have several here that need paperwork in order to ship.
Either myself or Jeremy will update and let folks know when we get more Nucleus actions from ARC and those owners will get the email notification for balances and FFL as well.
What ammo is that Lenny?
Nice!
40.5 H4350, 105 Hybrid with about .020 jump. My plan is to shoot 110 SMKs, but I had a few hybrid around and will use them to break the barrel in.
From today’s email
Interesting last part there... I’m not sure how that breaks down as far as caliber but, I’m excited to think I might see my JH before snow flies up here in Mass

Barreled action or John Hancock?
barreled action. Even if I'm confused between Hancock vs Barreled action as being in the first batch of 50, let me live my lie and be happy

I hope it is barreled actions, I ordered 1/28 that should mean i am in the first batch, but I think barreled actions are getting the back seat to the hancock
I hope the barreled actions get mixed in with the Handcocks.
Barreled actions are behind the Hancocks in the sense that the receivers for the Hancocks were specifically ordered in quantity and are delivered ahead of the standard Nucleus actions. From multiple threads and info posted, I'm not expecting my barreled action until at least 2019.
"I'm not expecting my barreled action until at least 2019."
me either and it makes me sad that we have missed the expected delivery dateS by so much, I am SOOOOO glad I didn't choose to shoot production this season. I would have missed the whole season!!! Doesn't matter to me when I get mine, I have a buddy that is going to buy it off me, and I have moved on to something else. I needed something else to shoot this season and when PVA and ARC couldn't get me something I was force to go to some one else. I was really looking forward to the nucleus but got to do what I got to do to keep in the game.

PVA posted a couple months ago that the Nucleus orders would be combined with ARCs orders and shipped by date/ time the order was received. Im not sure if that still holds true or not. Either way, I hope to start seeing more info about them shipping soon.
Barreled Nucleus actions have been shipping out as we receive actions for them, which to date was 12.
Have you checked their website? The phone number is listed on there.
I was on the contact us page looking near the address and not seeing it. Studying the page again I found it in the graphic on the top of the page, thanks.
Left a message on Phone Jeremy promptly called back and took care of the bulk of my issues. Apparently Jeremy did respond to the first of the three emails I had sent then was somehow distracted before he hit send, and had not yet gotten to the two more recent. At any rate my stuff will ship tomorrow.
JHR Update:
I spoke to Ted on Saturday and he confirmed to me that all the laser work for the first 80 JHR receivers is complete. The actions are going to nitride today.
The nitride process is pretty quick, a week or two at most. We should be seeing the very first production JHR receivers in our shop right around Halloween.
It's been a long haul on the project but we're almost there. I'm confident the rifles will be exceptional in hand.

Congrats on the JHR coming together! Do you have an update on the barreled actions as well?
We are in the midst of cutting more barrels for the next batch of Nucleus actions that arrived. The Samsung decided to spring a leak and start pumping coolant into the hydraulic system so I'm fixing that while Jeremy is working on the Haas lathe getting barrels for Nucleus orders worked on. The timeline for it is not something I can commit to on a daily basis as we are down on a machine that does about 70% of the chambering and muzzle threads waiting for a couple of new seals and a service tech to arrive. Not totally dead in the water but we're limping a bit right now.
Received an email on 10/16 (surprised it hasn't hit the thread) stating that 22 barreled actions are being worked on. Sent in my FFL's info per the email. Hopefully I'm in this group of 22.
I’ve sent in my FFL info as well. I’m constantly checking my inbox again.
Has anyone had a JH ship to them yet? Hoping I’m close to the beginning of the list!
Nope, don't think they've started shipping yet. Should be any day now. I had my ffl send his info last week.
Any guess on when the barrel I ordered at the end of July will ship?
