What redneckbmxer24 said is most truths, though i prefer a little less magnification at times.
I run a minox zp8 on my 223 ar. Can hit moa targets at 800 yards with factory ammo.
Learned this the hard way. At least if they are making switch barrels if the smith has a similar chassis they can test the barrel in that should help eliminate potential issues.
Update to this.
I took it to the guys over at Alamo Precision (they did not make the barrel.) They stuck a gauge in there, headspace just a hair too short. They are going to add .001 or .002 and it should chamber just fine.
I did this and the bolts drops very easy. cycled a full mag a few times and apart from some of the ammo not feeding well from the 300wm mags, dropping and lifting the bolt was smooth and easy. every round extracted fine.
here are the specs for my barrel:
Custom Barrel, SS, 30CAL, 9ROT, AXMC, 27
BARREL FITTING: Barrel Fitting, Push Feed, Long Action
Barrel Fitting, Push Feed, Long Action 300PRC,
THROAT FOR OEM HORNADY 225'S. FIN@27"
Tell me more about this...
I was aware of the bolt bushing with the older AIATs and AX308 (large firing pin vs small firing pin) but i was unaware it could be needed with the AXMCs. I purchased my axmc this year when brownells put them on sale, thd serial makes it a 17' build date.
I only shoot factory ammo. I do not reload. every round of factory hornady 225 felt the same. I can get the bolt down, but it almost takes two hands. seems like it is extracting fine.
these witness marks?
Got a custom 300 PRC barrel built for my AXMC. finally got around to taking it out today to shoot. it was extremely tight when trying to chamber a round. I hard to push down hard to get the bolt down. I had a well known experienced ELR shooter look at it, and we put two rounds through it but...
I received my rifle AXMC from brownells about 2 weeks ago. Today I got a letter in the mail just to thank me for my purchase and hoping I will do business with them again.
