    Gunsmith for barrel chambering

    We can do it at PVA easy enough. If you want a recommendation that isn't just "I can do it" then here are some others already mentioned in the thread that I'll vouch for as top notch guys too, no particular order LRI, Straight Jacket, Fisher TNC, Hells Canyon, Alamo Precision, Flint River...

    Barrel rifling

    Thanks! That's really interesting, it looks like there might be something there at 180 degrees opposite as well. I am going to have to slug some barrels and see if I can create a burr like that in a static test.

    PVA now offering AR15 barrels!

    "Dont Flute Button" falls under the end result of "buttons have extra stress" which is an offshoot of the button vs. cut argument. If the barrel isn't properly stress relieved it doesn't really matter what kind of rifling it has you're very likely to get problems when fluting, contouring, or...

    Barrel rifling

    We use a 6 groove with a trapezoidal cross section and a somewhat looser land:groove ratio than I usually saw in the various 5R's that we've cut over the years. I don't think, but I can't prove, that the MV and MV speed consistency we see in them comes from the 6 groove. I think it really has...

    Custom 300 prc

    We can do it, no problem. You can spec everything or you can go with the semi-custom route using a template rifle (see below). https://patriotvalleyarms.com/modus-hunting-series-order-deposit/ Here's a review article on the template rifle in 6.5 PRC...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    There can be, though a round nose will do more to help that than the larger bullet diameter. Typically the AR10's are more sensitive to bullet diameter (and nose L/D ratio) than the bolt guns are. It's more important to get that center line of the cartridge into the chamber mouth or on the...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    No, the 8.6 BLK is a .473 case head and case body. Since it's smaller than 0.50" then it needs the cone for single feeding.

    Your PVA prefit experience

    No problem. I got ahold of the Alpha reamer and put it on the comparator and compared to the print that I laid out probably 10-11 years ago now. It's identical except for some details in the freebore which won't change the dies or brass at all. We've made a LOT of dashers in the last 10...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    The cone? We cut the cone up to 284 bodies no matter what length CDG it's going on. This way if someone orders a barrel for a LA with a small body cartridge like a creedmoor it's still correct if they want to put it on a SA later. The cone that's in the face is there for facilitate single...

    Tikka build? Whos gonna talk me into a custom?

    Tikka build? Whos gonna talk me into a custom?

    The tikka is a superb factory action. It's probably one of the smoothest and it's consistent enough that I make shouldered prefits for them. In fact, we launched that particular segment of the market. If you're building a hunting rifle and you're not concerned with being able to put on a 4oz...

    How much and how long does it take for a gun smith to chamber a custom barrel for an action?

    Here's a direct quote from PVA (me): Standard lead 6 weeks We have blanks on the shelf and they're contour to order. Rush services as fast as 1 week ship time, if it's something that we need the action for then the lead time is based on the day the action arrives in hand here...

    We're planning the same thing for this year using the same actions we run on the Modus.

    Best place to get 6.5CM barrel for 737R

    We don't need your action, though most of the reputable shops in the country don't need a 737R SA to send you a replacement barrel these days. I have blanks in stock in any contour you want, lead time can be as quick as 1 week depending on the options you pick. Doing a plain M24 in 6.5 Creed...

    Barreled origin action options

    When they're available they've been fine. We made Grendel and Valkyrie based wildcats for the Origin/TL3/etc before those mags existed. The Valkyrie and 6.8 SPC based stuff doesn't have a good mag available yet that I'm aware of. If I'm incorrect, someone please point me into an off-the-shelf...

    Aero Solus 223 bolt face

    I've been hearing "soon" now from Aero for probably 8 months. They haven't let dealers place backorders for actions or bolt heads either.

    Best place to get 6.5CM barrel for 737R

    https://patriotvalleyarms.com/osprey-6-5mm-prefit-barrels-all-actions/ Look no further. We have blanks on hand in any contour you want, available in as little as 1 week. We also have timing setups for the barrels so that the caliber marking lines up, pretty easy setup.
