if you have emailed us, even asking to be on the list, we have your information for when we send out an email campaign.
we are excited and getting flooded with calls and emails about this product. As im currently trying to fullfill CZ457 builds this month, if I or the ladies in the shop cannot respond or pick up your call, leave a voicemail or email requesting a call back. I'll be in and out of the shop testing our CZ457 builds as well as upgrading our shop as we prepare for new machinery to hit the floor.
THANKS for the patience and support in these exciting times. We are nearing launch ahead of schedule and finalizing a few small changes which include:
Larger port to accommodate 17HMR/22WSM
Setting barrel tennon closer to port opening for easier cleaning and access to chamber
Bore guide for cleaning
Mag buffers to be made in delrin or possibly aluminum

Thanks for thinking of all the big and little details, like the bore guide for cleaning - it’s little things like that which can make huge difference in overall quality perception for entire “package”.
Did you finalize price for barreled action yet? I would be fine putting 10% down non-refundable unless the price changes. In that case seems like I should have an option to pay the higher price or refund on deposit...
Kenny was burning up the midnight candle getting CZ backlogs out the door and on vacation. He’ll be back next week turning and burning.
The preference would be RimX mags, but the buffer system will work with all of them.

We provided some feedback on the initial testing. I’m waiting on my action to come back after a full heat treating for the next round.
Will provide some updates soon and you’ll hear from Kenny himself on the latest news for these.

Quick Update Fellas,
Have been extremely busy knocking out CZ builds and 2500x builds a long with fighting Meningitis. Slow recovery and low on energy but with little time I had, I did make the revisions on the action to accommodate changes per request.
The barrel extractor cuts are now easier to get to with the action cutout. I did also move the barrel closer to the ejection port. This will allow easy access with a tool for removal of fail to fire cases.
I am also working on my own firing pin assembly 1 piece to be made in S7. Through conversation with experienced folks who went down this road, as well as mine, I do not see a benefit of using half moon or offset firing pins as those who have seen the modifications done to the CZ457. The first batch I'm testing is a half moon, simply because of the ease of manufacturing. These will be compatible to current V22 360 owners. Their has been thread changes through the Gen 1.2- Gen 2.0 as far as sear block thread pitch, So if offered as a replacement, A firing pin and Sear block will be sold as a set. As emphasis, Im still a small manufacture as we expand so any parts made for now will be dedicated to our action demand first. I also am finalizing the Firing Pin Springs for this, these are certified music wire with a compounded spring rate. This reduces bolt lift on current V22's as well as my action while providing consistent 16-17lb striking force. Spring fatigue appears to be reduced due to the compound spring rate.
Its a challenge to design something to be compatible with other products, so focus on reliability has been based and designed around what has the best track record. We had request for scope rail change to 10-40 screws, however, This will not be happening since later designs for our own scope rail will be superior in rigidity using the dove tail as well as 10-40 screws. The 11mm dove tail will also aid us in manufacturing as a machine location keeping our action tolerances tight.
Our Material just hit the floor Friday and currently running action body's. Ill be updating more very soon

I also got back JD's rifle for eval to see what wear items look like as well as update the changes to his rifle also. This rifle has approximately 5K rounds shot between me, JD and friends, Demo at TX and is in the Raw metal state.
Besides a bushing failure in the bolt stop which appears eaten away from solvent or something which caused the bolt to slide pass the stop, thiers very very minimal wear in which heat treatment and nitride will reduce to zero.
These bushings in the bolt stop will not be in the final release as these where originally designed for M4 screws not M3. The bolt stop uses a concentric cam, this is how I'm able to adjust headspace +-0.005.
For giggles, I shot some CCI SV at 107 yards and these barrels I have are putting out these kinds of groups even with CCI 10 shot and 5 shot groups at 107
Rifle is ready to run a local NRL22x match. Me and my son will be taking JDs rifle out to run a 12 stage and Long Gong match
Details of the match here:
We are giving away a Full Custom CZ457 as I mentioned in previous post. As well as demoing the Genes1s action. If your attending, let me know!

Seeing those CCI SV groups is really selling me on the idea of parting with a Bergara. I’m not sure I can keep 10 on 4” round steel at 100 with CCI SV!
My son ran J.Ds rifle in one of the toughest NRL22 X matches and 20 mph + sandstorm and dirt devils. One stage had a 10in plate at 300 with this rifle being the only one to slap 3 impacts on plate back to back. A flawless victory in performance and proven its reliability with its performance under these conditions.
We ran mag buffers fitted for B14r mags for this match with ZERO malfunctions
We saw every type of failure on other 700 clone actions today. Personally watch a few really good shooter loose points because of these malfunctions with them eating their word stating they never have issues.
I want to thank the folk that came up to ask for a demonstration how the mag buffers work, a quick demonstration of proper controlled round feeding and them also giving the rifle a try. Im still narrowing down some small details in how much ingenuity is involved in reliability feeding one of the hardest rounds from a magazine. Given thanks and credit to the brilliance of MB's V22 system. I plan on sharing a small video that hopefully will shed some light on how the system must function, issues folks run into with compatibility, wrong mag spring pressure cause and its effect, how mag play effects reliability and how our popular universal aics mags can pose issues in reliability in chassis with no standard tolerances, finally, how you can solve some of these issues to help your system
We are running production as this message post. Im excited to show how close we are to final release. The wait will be worth it

Maybe I'm biased....slightly, but that's one good looking rifle!
Decent looking at bestMaybe I'm biased....slightly, but that's one good looking rifle!
Lot testing was performed on DPG1 Genes1s action today. This is a 24in barrel, first action with approximate 2500 rounds. Results show multiple lots with excellent performance. Showing on par with other builds.
