    6mm Arc Build Questions

    I am just using the $25 YHM's that I bought in bulk a few years ago for some personal projects. With an adjustable carrier key in the BCG it doesn't require anything expensive or specific on the barrel. This is the standard low pro block I've been sticking on my personal guns since probably...

    Barrel questions about Tikka T3X TAC A1

    Probably not because they're still shooting the same loads and folks are reporting pressure limits at the same load data as faster barrels.

    Should I run a 6mm GB?

    Probably 26's max, the smaller diameter 29" blanks get to be pretty picky to make them. We're not currently making something that long smaller than 6mm. We have a big brake that you can use to help balance, that may solve what you're looking to do? Everything we make in 22 is 219 bore, however...

    Best custom action for 22 creedmoor or 22-250

    I don't want to be rude but I think it needs to be said: I don't think there's a "Best" one these days. There are pro/cons for each custom out there but pretty much every custom on the market feels very good or downright awesome, every one is plenty capable of being true and accurate, etc...

    Should I run a 6mm GB?

    Correct. When we do sales we typically restrict some of the options in contour/finish/action options so that we're not waiting on receivers to show up here and finish off a chambering in production.

    Should I run a 6mm GB?

    If you order the 6 GT now you'll have rounds on it before I even run the group buy. You could order another to be safe

    Should I run a 6mm GB?

    Thanks for bringing this up again: Considering it though I'm not sure it's going to be a 6mm batch this year, I'm thinking about making it a different caliber each year and making this a staple program... maybe 22 or 6.5 this year? Thoughts/input?

    Gunsmith for barrel chambering

    I run PVA patriotvalleyarms.com We do a lot of barrels for Hide members and others and we can certainly handle your project. There are a lot of good recommendations on this thread. Here's a few other recommendations that I would use ( and have used in the past) if I wasn't doing them myself...

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    I was at SHOT this week for a couple days and didn't get a chance to relay our current status on Solus actions. I apologize that this update status from Aero below is a week old. I will not provide opinions or remarks about the situation, simply the status on PVA's business with the folks here...

    PVA now offering AR15 barrels!

    I don't know people's names by the forum usernames but I can say that I/we are behind on two specific things: Matched bolt setups Fluting I can list all the things we had go sideways in the end of december and we did get a lot of orders that cleaned us out and we made more, but suffice it to...

    Suggestions for starter Chassis bolt action rifle in 6.5?

    We don't do any trigger timing on the Solus stuff. It's one of those things that Insurance carriers get real touchy about really fast since the Remington and Sig lawsuits. For the dollars involved in timing them, it's the same cost to buy a higher dollar action with different trigger hangers...

    6mm Arc Build Questions

    Yep, I have a number of them and was pleasantly surprised by the fit and finish. @padom turned me onto them and the adjustable key setup last year. He's been using them with great results for a while and when I met Dom a decade ago he was running all JP parts.

    6mm Arc Build Questions

    We went +2 on all our gas systems because it tamed things down from the slower powder and higher port pressures. Then when I started playing with the adjustable gas key carriers from RCA I was impressed by how simple it was to set those guns up.

    Suggestions for starter Chassis bolt action rifle in 6.5?

    We can build you whatever, though it's typically easier/cheaper for customers to source their own TT triggers. We're an OEM Timney shop and I don't carry anything from TT. Nothing against them, it's just not something that we do. We don't carry Jewell or BnA's or the others either. There are...

    PVA now offering AR15 barrels!

    I'm certainly not opposed to doing it as long as there's a way to handle the availability of gas tubes and running enough to make it worth the setup time and avoiding a custom deal. That number is probably about 20 barrels to make it worthwhile running and I would match it up with a gas tube so...

    PVA now offering AR15 barrels!

    We are not offering custom requests because we run these in batches and unlike bolt guns the 1-offs would be hell on production. However, I will look at making a batch of intermediates in 16", I'm not familiar with that and I need to make one before we sell them. If I do make a small run of...

    Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?

    I have a Bighorn action that isn't even a Bighorn, it's a Goddard Enterprises. SN #15 That action has had over 40 barrels on it, at least 25 off them have been worn out, somewhere around 155k rounds fired through it and probably close to 3x that in dry fire over the years. Not even 1 time has...

    Gunsmithing Measurements prior to threading / chambering

    I got an email about one this morning that was 0.003" shorter than it should be.

    Gunsmithing Measurements prior to threading / chambering

    Impossible, a Defiance that was out of spec? Better call Defiance so they can tell you that your measurements are wrong because they don't make mistakes </sarcasm> The action I posted about back in 2011 is pre TL2/TL3/Origins, so that 0.115 number is old but let's use TL3 numbers: A TL3 is...
