I know, he is a self proclaimed arsehole and living up to it. I'm having discussions with others on ways around this barrel extension issue and get some more barrels out there but it all seems to lead back to him in one way or another. Aparently, APA might have the ability to get them but I don''t want a Broughton barrel and I read the Proof barrels are now button rifled so at this point I guess we wait for the god KB to deem subjects worthy of his holiness.

One of the main reasons I’m interested in the Fix is the switch barrel, it’s been a main selling point since day one in all the promotional shit you see, and come to find out it’s not a “priority” for Q is a kick in the dick to existing customers.
I'm sure one day they will catch-up and things will get better, but until then we all gotta suffer I guess. That or just not purchase the product...I love my fix tho and wouldn't trade it for anything.
I received a response from Proof about what they have and its the same as what Q was selling on their website, so no custom orders from them either, I am trying though. They made it sound like they were already made and sitting on the shelf. So if this is the case, then maybe some of you who are looking for a carbon Proof barrel might want shoot them an email. I'm going to try to talk them into a 16" 6CM steel barrel if I can.
Last time I taked to proof they said it was q’s inventory so I would have to go through them. I am surprised someone can’t manufacture the part. I just think the time is not worth it.
Heck I wouldn’t mind a 308 green mountain barrel, just not at inflated prices

Q said to contact them about a barrel.

I didn’t get that it was a spat issue. It was more of they asked us to make custom things for them so you have to go through them.
I am just going to go shoot my creed and when the barrel is toast figure out what to do
I just "visited" my new Fix rifle with 24" Proof 6.5 Creedmoor barrel at my FFL. Damn it's beautiful. It's now in the California mandated 10 day waiting period. After waiting almost 10 months, I guess 10 more days won't kill me 
I'm impressed at how tight the folding stock locks open. I wasn't able to close it until I put the rifle on the ground and gave the stock a good whack right behind the hinge. Is this normal? Does anyone put anti-seize or lube on the slanted locking surfaces?

Glad you got to visit it. It will be worth the wait. I love mine with the proof barrel.I just "visited" my new Fix rifle with 24" Proof 6.5 Creedmoor barrel at my FFL. Damn it's beautiful.

Folding the stock seems stiff/hard at first, but once you figure out the trick to it it seems to fold easy. I find it easiest to hold the grip loosely with my right hand and using my thumb, pull the stock down to disengage the locking mechanism. Then simply swing it closed. Play with it a few times and it should become second nature.
When you do get it in your possession, I recommend dry-fire practicing and running the bolt to get used to the 45 degree throw. I found myself constantly trying to over rotate the bolt handle when I first took it out to the range.
Anyone know where to get one of the ukulele cases for the fix?
I love mine, picked up a 24” 308 proof research barrel from Tag Firearms and it’s an absolute tack driver. Haven’t had an issue with magazines and feeding from sr-25 pmags. I did just send in the bolt for the heavy lift issue. I took the bolt apart and there was some galling caused by the bolt handle on the bolt shroud. Wish I had taken pics before I sent it. Other than that it’s a great rifle

Just picked one up last week and I believe they’re still single point cut
It's a Remington that they made look like the The FIX. If you load the bipod on the MPR, the hand guard touches the barrel.
We have gotten rid of dead weight and under-performers. We are rich and will certainly be around for a long time. We have significant backorders, bc the product is just that good and innovative.
Glad you like your gun. Don't care what you think of me,
BS claims?
Fuck you. And we are working on accessories for THE Fix.KB is too busy hyping up the Sugar Weasel and Honey Badger even though they don't want to be "just another AR company"
On a more serious note though - they practically have a license to print money right now with how it seems most their stuff is well liked - it's hard to blame him for just trying to get their main products out the door. The 20 of us who are whining about this or that on here just don't really register on their radar.
Remington will happily sell you a gun.
Not true. We did not engrave all of the barrels that they helped produce.
It's a fact. All of our best groups have been shot with our barrels.
Every .308 barrel for B/T had to be reworked. They sucked.
Gimmick? How?
You did not stand by your work.
Our barrels are premium.
Remington makes all black rifles, even with Hogue stocks...
Come and build it and get it. Always welcome.
What's that mean, Dave?
Yeah, what'd I do to you?
Fuck you. And we are working on accessories for THE Fix.
Nothing says professional like a company owner rummaging through the forums at 1:30am telling his customers to fuck off.

Holy fucking shit someone had a few extra fingers of Glenfiddich tonight ???
Tomorrow being Monday it's almost as if he didn't have a shop to run in the morning with customer's orders to fill.
Cruising the forum late at night insulting customers, blaming prior business partners for past failures, and insulting the competitions products. Oh the integrity however can I possibly keep my cash in my wallet. When I see this kind of strong character from a company it just makes want to preorder something and send the guy some of my money regardless of an undisclosed lead time, regardless of the customer complaints, regardless of the bait and switch with the Bartlien barrels even with no company phone number listed on the website because Kevin would take my money but not my call.
My my my KB. This is some funny shit. Pressure getting to you?
Well, just when you thought he was at the summit of mt. Dickhead, there's another face to conquer, and conquer he did.
I must love drama as I went back and reread this last string of posts.
Usually when I sip the bourbon I end up going back through my posts and PMs to see what I bought and where I need to send some money.
All drama aside I have a Fix with a DT Proof that I bought for myself that has been claimed by my son and I liked it enough to purchase another one through the PX if damn mail would get my check delivered. These make great handling truck guns.
Hoping KB has a big Bloody Mary going about now and these kind words will land a PM in my inbox from KB letting me know that he has a barrel extension or two for me. ?

Any chance of gm barrels being sold by themselves?
I love it....hell...love my fix in 308 so much that I am fixing to buy a 6.5 fix with proof barrel all because I wanted a 6.5 barrel itself...welcome back KB. Shouldn’t you be skateboarding?
agree- waiting for 8.6 Fix Pistol- KB when?
The "pressure" of Q's growing success, while now receiving quality barrel work from reliable vendors, and managing an ever increasing order velocity? No, I'm cool.
It ain’t worth the headache man
"Professional"? My profession is running a small arms companies and being successful.
Thank you.
All of those items should be available this year.
I don't want your money or call. However, Remington has a phone and has a lay-away program...
