    Hands on Origin/Nucleus at SHOT?

    Exactly what I said, I just attached pictures to explain. The nucleus BarLoc lug with the BarLoc for a shouldered barrel minus the tapered washer for the action side. The question of course is the id of the nucleus barloc lug. It may be smaller than the diameter of the barrel but it shouldn't...

    Hands on Origin/Nucleus at SHOT?

    Ok, isn't this as simple as using this barloc, with this recoil lug: and get rid of the action side tapered washer? It seems like just a different combo of already designed parts.

    30-378 or 338 Lapua

    When it comes to a long range flat shooting round it's hard to beat the 30-378, but no doubt especially in a hunting rifle it will give you a beating. I love mine, but it's a go to the range, confirm your zero and go kill something rifle. If you want extended range sessions or if barrel life is...

    New 'production' rifle from PVA - J. Hancock

    Very nice. The new barrel nut systems that allow the use of standard barrel profiles really opens up the options available to us when we're looking to replace a barrel.

    New 'production' rifle from PVA - J. Hancock

    Hi Josh, I made my deposit this weekend on the Nucleus barreled action deal you're running and included a barloc. Is this the one we're getting with the Nucleus? It's awesome the way they integrated the barloc device with the recoil lug. P.S. I hope you're enjoying SHOT.

    New 'production' rifle from PVA - J. Hancock

    As great as this deal is for a rifle, I think I'm going to have to go with the other great deal Josh is offering on the Nucleus barreled action with a BarLoc. My problem is that I've been planning this build for awhile so I already have a Bravo chassis and a calvin elite 2 stage in the safe. I...

    New 'production' rifle from PVA - J. Hancock

    24" barrel works for me, by the time you hang a brake or a suppressor off of a 26" barrel the thing is a mile long. Can DTACs be loaded mag length with your chamber?

    New 'production' rifle from PVA - J. Hancock

    I fully understand the need to standardize it makes sense in both that you're trying to meet a price point and meet the rules requirements. I believe the value offered in the package is currently unmatched in the industry. You put the money is where it needs to be, in the barrel. Personally...

    New 'production' rifle from PVA - J. Hancock

    Not much detail on any options, I would like one of these in a light palma profile. I'm trying to build a rifle that I don't mind carrying in the mountains but I need to lay off the Scendero/HV/Med Palma profiles. I like everything about them until I spend the day carrying one.

    Patriot Valley Arms Prefit Barrels Announcement and Testing

    This seems like a very nice option for us fans of the barrel nut. What is the marksman profile, it looks like a straight taper to my eye?

    243 ackley vs 6.5 creed for comp gun?

    I have both and if my concern was performance AI all the way. Try some ballistic calcs with the 115 DTAC at 3200 or even 3100 and compare it to the 6.5 Creedmoor. I use the 130 Norma bullet in my Creedmoor most people use the 140/142 weight. There is no doubt which is the better round...

    BugNut

    Because the depth of pocket cut into the nose of the bolt is different between different actions, so the depth of the chamber is adjusted so you have the right amount of the back of the case sticking out.

    BugNut

    Yes you are correct, no mod to the action, but for the best results Greg needs to know what action, and not just the threading.

    BugNut

    I've ordered 3 prefit barrels from Greg and they all group better than I can shoot. Two on bighorn actions and one on a defiance, one remage, one savage nut and one bighorn nut, they all work well. The advantage of the bug nut really is there are a lot more barrels that you can select from as...
