    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    Not trying to clog up this thread or throw it off track (as if it is still on track lol), but I am just curious about PVA's new endeavor with tripods... Is PVA making these in-house? Perhaps out sourcing the carbon fiber legs and other components? Seems like a real branch out from making...

    Felons with guns- Los Angeles edition

    I see what you are saying AJ. In this case, the person who may deserve punishment the most is whomever sold all those guns to a man who is prohibited to buy them. Maybe the buyer should have been able to purchase firearms legally and should have never been labeled a felon, but it is not up to...

    Felons with guns- Los Angeles edition

    Without knowing his backstory and why he is a convicted felon... I am okay with them seizing his collection. I support the law that states that a convicted felon cannot purchase or own firearms/ammunition. Now maybe some of the fine-print the defines what a felon is might be questionable, but...

    LOL...Guess I Didn’t Think About Needing Trigger Pins...

    ^^ What he said, might be worth a call to the action mfg. and seeing if they normally ship with trigger pins... if so, I'd bet they would send em to you right away.

    Scope rings--When is "good enough" good enough?

    I have had several pairs of Seekins rings and they were excellent, never left a single mark on any of my scopes and never had anything come loose (though that's more attributed to excellent torque-ing skills and the use of blue loctite). That said, I recently got a pair of ARC rings and I will...

    What do we think of this BP chassis?

    What a hideous chassis lol! Can't believe we have 4 pages for this... Grip looks and probably functions awful, cheek piece is just some rough sheet metal? Looks like you could get tetanus just from shouldering up to this bad boy! Massive beast of a chassis, and then they picture it with the...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    I have Bighorn's action wrench that has a cutout for the ejector, not sure if they ever update their website to show they are in stock or not, you could just give them a call. Also, I can't really see what your talking about with the brass shaving because your pictures aren't focused. Any...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    My MDT mag is modified like this already. It was tight feeding in another 223 bolt gun so i modified the feed lips just like you said. They release the cartridge slightly earlier. I also have an unmodified MDT mag that seems to function just fine in the TL3 without the extractor. Watch the...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    @padom any chance you could take a picture of just your mag (accurate/MDT) with the cartridge in it? If I push my mags up in the receiver, the bolt rams into the feed lips (indicating that the magazine height seems ok) but maybe it is the round height within the cartridge itself that I could...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    I did just that and it didn't seem to make any difference. When I slide the extractor side to side with my finger it feels a little tough, but it is hard to compare such a subjective feeling... If I am just holding the bolt in my hand and I slide a cartridge into the bolt face, it noticeably...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    I just removed the extractor from the bolt face and now the rifle is feeding perfectly, no jamming of the cartridge at all. I tried with 2 different mags, feeding through the mags and by resting the cartridge on top and there's no hanging up of the cartridge and no mark left on the cartridge...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    Interesting to hear that. From looking at my feeding jam, it doesn't appear that the cartridge is even in contact with the extractor so I am not sure that this is the issue. This weekend I plan to remove the extractor from the bolt and see if that helps. I discussed with Greg @ SPR and he...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    I think I know the answer, but just to confirm: what is the method for removing the extractor from the TL3's bolt face? There is a little detent right on the top of the extractor plate, and I've tried pushing it in with a pick and then sliding the extractor towards the outside diameter of the...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    I am going to wait to hear back from Greg @ SPR before I do anything. I don't know if I would really be comfortable doing much of anything to the barrel, it seems ridiculous to pay like $600+ for a barrel and then have to clean up the chamber job myself with a wooden dowel, no offense to your...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    This is what Bighorn is saying as well. Seems like that could make sense, but I got the barrel from Greg at SPR and he specifically makes prefits for the TL3... I would think he would know to put a chamfer on the leading edge of the chamber? I am pretty sure that when I inspected the barrel...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    Thanks for the input. I have tried "manipulating" the magazine height and angle/cant with my hand while feeding, and none of it seems to make a difference. I put the relevant pictures and some videos in this public google drive here for anyone to take a look. One of the videos is feeding...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    Thanks for all the responses everyone, I appreciate all the input. I had some time last night to investigate a bit more last night and I was able to take a few videos, but not sure what the best method is for sharing them here? Like R5Will is saying, I don't think it is a magazine issue...

    Thanks for the inputs guys. I will do some more investigating when I get the chance. Maybe I will make a video showing the issue which might be more helpful than pictures.
