    Switch barrel build

    Thank you. I think I’m going to experiment with my Zermatt Origin and play with a strap wrench. I’ll see how repeatable it is swapping two different 300prc barrels. Maybe that’s an option going forward. If I end up building I won’t hesitate to reach out to you.

    Switch barrel build

    Lots of good info and opinions passed my way. I’m liking the idea of wrench flats and using torque to keep the barrel on. When testing torque values did you test with magnum calibers? Does torquing with a crescent wrench and the stock held between the legs provide enough for big cartridge?

    Switch barrel build

    I think the draw to the QC feature is not needing to remove the barreled action from the chassis to swap things out. I suppose throwing the vise on the barrel near the end of the fore end/stock may work but I’ve always put it as close to the action as I could when installing a barrel in the past.

    Switch barrel build

    I would like to build a personal version of a Barrett MRAD or AI AXSR. I would like to have 3 barrels, 338 Norma mag, 300 win mag, and a 6.5/6mm variant. I plan to use a Cadex lite competition chassis. Right now I’m thinking a Terminus Zeus or BAT HR with a WTO switch lug. I know the Zeus QC...

    Suppressors Baffle erosion DT vs brake

    sounds like I’m on par with y’all then. My semi-autos are TBAC SR mounts. Area 419 on all the bolt guns

    Suppressors Baffle erosion DT vs brake

    I think is just my boredom wanting a new project. I think you’re right about it being an expense for no gain. I agree with you about the area 419 system. I’m not sure if the o ring keeps it tight or just keeps gas from getting back to the mating surface. Regardless, I’ve never had one come...

    Suppressors Baffle erosion DT vs brake

    Just how much does a brake help prevent baffle erosion? I’m using the area 419 mounts for a few suppressors but have recently started to think a brake might be a nice thing to have. Is it a waste of money to switch to xeno? Then it mounts to a taper unlike the area 419 and still has left...

    MPA BA Chassis magazine issues

    You mean is the release hitting something under recoil? If so, no that’s not happening. I’m shooting prone on a mat with a bipod and a rear bag. Nothing else up by the mag area.

    MPA BA Chassis magazine issues

    It is latching when inserted. I can hear a positive click from the latch when inserting the mag. I can’t pull the mag out without releasing the mag latch

    MPA BA Chassis magazine issues

    I am having issues with an MPA long action chassis dropping the mag under recoil when rounds are in the mag. When it’s empty it stays latched just fine. Rifle is a 300prc, using CIP+ mags. Mag latch is adjusted to have the mag just below the bolt. Not sure what to try to keep the mag securely...

    Headspace / CBTO comparator advice

    Did you have any luck using the SAC tools with the area 419 stand?

    Steiner T6xi

    Yeah my windage feels great. I think I will use it for a few range trips to see if it loosens up. Maybe it will start to feel better. If not I’ll reach out to them.

    Steiner T6xi

    Shoot, that’s a bummer. I think I’ll at least try to call them and see what they say about sending it in.

    Steiner T6xi

    Just received a 5-30x56 and the elevation turret locking mechanism is very tight. Additionally, it doesn’t completely lock the turret. Trying to unlock by twisting the top the turret did move a few clicks. Anyone else encounter this?
