DPG Action Update 5-19-25
- Thread starter J_D

For the record, I've never taken issue with Kenny's comments in the past, real or alleged, and I know the intent behind known remarks. I've also known @littlepod for a while, and he's always been a good Dude. Both are passionate and protective, and both have had my back.

Those wondering why JD post and how I know him, I have had the opportunity to build a few rifles of his. He's to humble to talk about his shooting career but I will. He's actually one of the top PRS shooters in the nation and has been for the few years I got to build for him. He literally has the choice to pick whom ever for his rifles, I'm simply the monkey building them for him. Unlike some who claim to shoot competition, he has provided valuable feedback and insight to my builds. The fella genuinely cares for this sport and others to enjoy it and he's got the skillset to make a difference here. I'm just honored to be able to build for folk like him and Shane Ward
just Slightly....... Dont get carried away. Mediocre best describes you
You’re right. Slightly above mediocre it is.just Slightly....... Dont get carried away. Mediocre best describes you
Ehh, I can see how some viewed your videos as negative towards Vudoo/Zermatt. Maybe you didn’t mean for it to come across that way, but I was surprised they would even continue to sell you actions as there was some misinformation posted (Vudoo mag video comes to mind) that threw some serious shade.
Glad to see things are going well. You’ve moved up from using a modified dremel for your extractor cuts from just a few years ago.

My stance on Vudoo mag still is the same. The main issues are the injection molds being worn out and quality control and managment of replacing those molds, tolerances are a wide band. What I said, "Made at a Rubbermaid recycling center." Just to be clear. This will be the last I'll discuss about previous problems as im looking forward to what I think will be a whole revamp in quality in the community.
Just to be clear, many have had issues with their mags like I explained correct? Or their near forgotten metal mag they was suppose to release wouldn't have been a thought or patented.
The design works well and I have working V22 mags. So its not the mag itself, emphasis the mold. Taking measurements you can see the tolerances issues from a mag bought 1 day ago and one month ago.
What folks should be focusing on is why are you excepting this quality after paying 1500+ when yall hold me to a higher standard or fail to check these tolerances for yourself. My videos I put out, if your offended, is it because you seek justification of why You’ve spent 5K on your rifle build even when its having issues? Yet state Im bashing for sharing the issue many are having but also provide a solution??? Baffling....
Paul at one point did state they will no longer sell me V22 actions unless I remove those videos. Funny because I was told a year prior when those videos where out that it didn't effect them. Despite your opinion, it has helped many gain resolution with thier tools. And In the interest of my clients that have Vudoo builds at the time, I removed the videos (which is the last time I ever let a company restrict my freedom of speech as a consumer myself)
I have built ALOT of rifles, rarely will you hear the good side of things, but if one slips out of my shop, that's the one yall judge me and my capabilities.
The FTF issues as I shown with just the sample of 6 out of the 18 rifles I had during that video series was due to headspacing issues, which are bandaid by slapping in a 22 or 24lb spring. To this date, I always carry a set of field 22lr headspace gauges, and during a match folks that have issues that come to me, 90% of the time those rifles where locking down on a 0.051 headspace gauge

I wouldn't expect anything less from you Kenny. When can we order? 
The handle is one of the locking lugs but not the only. Thiers a unique feature which will be mentioned upon release.
Nothing wrong with an Anchutz style system. Proven over the years. No need to over complicate what works nor do you need to worry about compromise in metal quality or outsource work to cut cost like others do...
Everything is made in the same facility,by small buisness
I've traded my hobby and what I thought was expensive tools (prs shooting) competition.... I've been dragged into buying machinery and not doing much shooting lately. Good thing is we'll be more involved at matches and events and be happy to give away rifles.
We are giving away custom CZ457 rifle for this match from todays canceled build.
Itll look like this

This isn’t just a match—it’s a proving ground for your marksmanship mastery. Step into the Club X arena and show us what precision under pressure really looks like. From barricades to bullseyes—NRL22 is where competitors become masters. Are you ready to level up?www.parabellumaz.com
It'll be ready to transfer at the match. Thank you for understanding.
Thanks for all the updates....looks great!!!
Come to Shane's range at Gravestone match June 14th. Rimfire qualifier. Ill have some of these rifles to give a try. If someone wants to run one for the match, hit me up. I believe ill have a side stage setup so folks can run it through the ringers and ask questions.I wouldn't expect anything less from you Kenny. When can we order?
Gravestone Precision Shooting, LLC
The Bergara North America Best of the West at Gravestone Precision Shooting is shaping up to be a Precision Rifle Series Rimfire Match you don’t want to miss 👏 I have had questions about the COF...

Our sponsored shooters will be receiving the pre production model. Thier feedback or suggestions will set the pace when these start rolling into full production. Once in production
*Our current clients affected by the delay with the Rim-X are given first opportunity to switch over to get them caught up.
*Then our previous DPG family clients will then get first opportunity to purchase, an email campaign will be sent with a order form to fill out and verify pass purchases. They will receive a significant discount and first opportunity on early serial number barreled actions during this 2 week timeframe. I will have about a month of production barreled actions ready to ship (approximately 20-40).
*Final release to the public with inventory ready to ship early fall. If I allow pre-orders, they will have much shorter lead-times at 300$ non refundable deposits. This will gauge what investments are needed for production expansion, meaning more machinery, training and automation in cnc. Already have a DNX2100s being built and ready to drop into our shop. Will be investing nearly everything I have to ensure quality is kept, material is certified, top of the line tooling to improve overall quality in machining and production time. I have a game plan from seeing expansion success with my family's aerospace manufacturing. Which if all fails, I have access to the best machinery and tech to make production runs... itll be more traveling and overseeing, operating machines and less shooting unfortunately. I already have BBQ schedules for friends and family to help test these rifles before packaging lol as a trap for their time. Lots of Filipino food, karaoke, and ammo
I also will have a few shops after vetting and attending a 2 day course with me, have access to build off these actions and access to our barrels. We want to ensure quality standards are inline ASWELL as customer service we uphold. This will ensure the final product when received in the hands yall will have the same quality and support or better that my shop offers. It may sound snooty but this is an attempt to mitigate joe schmo gun plumber of 40 years with a worn out mill and lathe putting out crap to you guys. This will also give you folks opportunity to support your favor gun builder. Its not the best buisness model for profit, but its how I see quality is held up and our name
