Question for Rim X Pre-fit customers:
- Thread starter David Lott
- Start date
I have had many rimx actions and the lasering has lined up perfect on all of them but one! The first one I bought back in 2020 s/n 36 always is about an 1/8th turn too much!
I have a bunch of barrels, various brands here that I am going to do prefits with, I know there have been some discrepancies before. Just trying to see when it was a problem. I have serial number 901 here as my shop action to use.
on another note, suggestions on how to offer these, set a lower price and what you see is what you get or spend the time to shoot each one like I would if the actions is here(with pics of groups)and charge accordingly ?
To use your name on the barrel I would definitely test and charge accordingly!
I don’t know the serial number range but there was a timing change along the way.
What blanks? I would prob just kick them out and not do threading if they were straight blanks. MTU and M24 would prob be better threaded but they seem to fly off the shelf.
I have a few Muller 13 twist straights, a 13 and 16 ACE 1.250 straight (Cut) several Lothar 12 and 16 twist MTUs, if these move I may start offering CRB and Mullers on a on the shelf ready to ship basis.
I have two RimX actions. They are 10-15 degrees different. Both are cut for ModX bolt heads, and I cannot swap my barrels because the extractor cuts do not line up.
I think there is more to lose than gain by selling ones that have not been confirmed to meet your quality standards.

I think you are correct; I don't want to send something out that I would want to keep for myself.
What are your serial numbers?
This is an example of what we would ship out, I didn't try to get perfectly steady I just laid the gun up there took 10 quick shots including Cold bore at 50 yards. sk long range

I have several available today and doing more tomorrow
Pardon my ignorance but is it just as simple as spin one off and spin one on?
I have access to those. I have a snap on torque wrench from my wrench turning days. I guess I’m from the old camp of headspace and go and no go gauges so I never did prefits but I like the idea of them.
Yeah I guess old habits die hard. I have all the tools and have swapped AR barrels. I guess that’s about the same. Bolt guns just intimidate me. All the precision and what not
I was intimidated until I spun one off, another on, then back to the original - all while testing ammo. Keep the shoulder clear of grease or anti seize, and torque it down to 60-70 ft-lb, and be good to go.
You don’t need to on the RimX. Just back off the wrench a hair away from the ejector. 3 years and no issues spinning barrels off and on. They don’t take a massive amount of torque to stay on and I own quite a few barrels for it.
DON'T take out the ejector when using an action wrench in a RimX. There's no purchase for the lugs on the wrench if you go past the point of the ejector.
Thanks - Ray
Zermatt never advertised or stated RimX threads timed the same prior to serial# R01505 - R01720 range. They made the change to make sure threads timed from action to action in the above noted range but Ray didnt have an exact serial# but said it was standardized in that range.
So any serial# from at least 1720 and newer all time the same.
Prior to that range, there were a few machine changes, so timing could be different. To be 100% on timing of actions prior to 1720...you'd have to measure the action

I was between CRB or Ace. We’re gonna sell David out before the weekend.
We will call it a Hybrid DI/Nevius chamber since I cut a modified chamber using Nevius reamer.
Hmmmm, my serial number is 00230, Mike Manzella chambered an ACE without the action, sent it to me and I spun it on. So far it’s been flawless.

Yep, same with all mine. I gave him measurements for my action (Serial# 005) which has been consistent for timing for a while. He most likely used those timing measurements
Your misunderstanding what im saying..not saying you had to send in your action to time.
