    Looks like they've recently had some issues with variances on the Origin

    Unsurprising. Bighorn never made the claim, I believe, for interchangeable headspacing. And with a non-integral recoil lug it's another opportunity to stack tolerances.

    I asked him for clarification on the issues he was having and told him that Bighorn stated there were no changes to the action on the original announcement post but I haven't gotten a response.
     
    One would think that there would be multiple reports of headspace issues arising, since there are multiple suppliers of these barrels? PVA, SPR, Hunts Long Range, & Proof are all making/selling shouldered prefits for the Origin without having the customer's action in hand.

    Is John a member here, maybe he could address the issue in the "ORIGIN Orders" thread?

    No idea if he is a member here or not. I did see a post on IG from him saying he wasn't very good at using social media and preferred to be contacted via phone or email so I doubt I'll get an answer.

    Why not call him? He answers his phone typically, and if he doesn't he will return your call.

    Oh I have no doubts he would give me and answer if I called. But I don't own and Origin nor one of his barrels (was considering a TL3 prefit) and honestly don't care enough to make the effort. I'm just interested in the issue out of curiosity because like TM6 mentioned there are other prefits floating around and no other issues have been brought to light not to mention Ray's statement saying that the Origin tolerances have not changed.
