I think that's on point. The lack of taper makes things look a little strange and it's definitely not for everyone. Years ago I made some barrels that I had to recontour on a manual machine without the taper attachment. They shot fine but the guy who asked for it did notice that it was a...

That's probably a 0.680 and 0.750 taperless then.

That's pretty easy to call it. Sounds like we should just make a couple of taperless options in different size muzzles for the hunting community.

The neck diameter and shank diameter are different. It's pretty close to a #4 but with a dead straight section at 0.750 for about 22"

Yeah, that's something I can work to. The question becomes what do we call it?

Thanks! I appreciate the business

I'll send you a PM here to get your info and we can get that cone tweaked for you.

josh (at) patriotvalleyarms.com I get on here sporadically. 1) Straight up 6.5-06 with the normal shoulder and neck. Doing it again I would go to a 30 degree improved. 2) At the time I had 2 shilens and a kreiger, I installed them myself. All were 26" and 1:8's 3) I shot 140 VLD's to 1540...

I genuinely LOL'd and Ben walked by my desk at the same time... now he's looking at me like I'm off my rocker. Let's see how this goes off. Maybe we'll run a 22 specific GB later in the year.

Good point, I'll look at it. I was trying to avoid the prior problems that have come up with guys ordering things and having barrels arrive that are incompatible, or marginally compatible with certain muzzle devices. Keep in mind that the options available for a Solus barreled action are...

@netcat is correct, we launched the CDG prefits first and it's a standard barrel on our list. I can fix that, it doesn't happen often but I don't get control of anything on the action so I just take care of them if it happens. Please hit me up in an email josh@ (patriotvalleyarms.com) and I'll...

I can't say. This is one of the problems with the XC is that there are so many iterations of the chamber and dies that have come from Tubb and Whitley over the years that it's difficult to say what one vs the other happens to be dimensionally. What I can say is that I have the print referenced...

Hmmm.... but they're another SKU. I'm a sucker for memes... what else ya got?

Depends on options. Base price, with muzzle threads is $690 less 15% so $586.50 plus $24.95 shipping and insurance. If you want fluting and cerakote it gets more expensive. I'm assuming you want muzzle threads, they're only $35 upcharge when ordered with the barrel to start because we have to...

We moved the shop in January and in the tornado of activity that is a shop move we stuffed a whole batch of 6mm blanks in a dark corner and forgot where it was. When I couldn't find them we quickly made another batch knowing that at some point they would surface and we'd have a bunch of 6mm...
