    PVA now offering AR15 barrels!

    Email us so I can get the order info, but my gut says it's just a backup due to the flood in December and we missed it. Sorry about that.

    PVA now offering AR15 barrels!

    Offhand I'm not sure, the 16" fluted removes about 4oz from the weight I posted above but I don't know what the difference in 18 and 20 is specifically, it's not going to be much more than 4 oz The difference is what was printed on the barrel, entirely due to the ignorance of someone insisting...

    PVA Solus .223 Wylde Barreled Action (Barrel question)

    We are just waiting for the actions to come in and the lead time is still unaffected for those people who've been waiting since Dec 1st, we quoted them 6-8 weeks and it's still projected on time. I know I'm biased in that it's our work and my business, but I don't think you'll find something...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    This was the catalyst to update the fixture and process for how we do those AE mounts in the barrel properly. They haven't been popular enough in years past to be a "thing" but now they're a canned deal. Sometimes it really is a boot in the ass to make it happen, so thanks for that ;-)

    6mm creedmoor short barrel

    I am burning through old stock of the 95TMK that I've had on the shelf for years, I'm waiting on more from a couple of suppliers but haven't gotten anything yet. We see pass throughs on small whitetails and predators when shot into soft areas like the ribs. The bullets are pretty soft...

    PVA now offering AR15 barrels!

    I have bolts you can put in a standard carrier and complete RCA carriers with the adjustable key already staked on them. I do like the adjustable key approach a lot more than the adjustable gas block approach.

    Correct, we are using RCA bolts and carriers. I've been very happy with the consistency and overal fit and finish.

    PVA Solus .223 Wylde Barreled Action (Barrel question)

    Yeah, it's disappointing to wire money with the promise "they're in stock and ready to ship" and now a month later still nothing.

    Upgrading from Tikka CTR - 3 options want opinions

    We still make Tikka prefits all the time. We just don't make stuff to sit on the shelf

    Upgrading from Tikka CTR - 3 options want opinions

    We made one batch, it took 2.5 years to move them. We won't be making more this way.

    PVA Solus .223 Wylde Barreled Action (Barrel question)

    Right now we are waiting on a shipment of 30 actions, Aero has said "we're a little behind on shipping" but we haven't gotten a hard date on when they're supposed to arrive.

    I stopped incoming PM's because people couldn't handle the rule "no order changes will be honored through anything except PVA emails. We will not do it via voicemail, facebook, or forum messages". office (at) patriotvalleyarms.com is a perfect way to get ahold of us. Either Ben or I respond...

    Upgrading from Tikka CTR - 3 options want opinions

    Barrel nuts from PVA do not require a special wrench. We don't even make/offer one, even in the shop we just use a 12" long adjustable wrench and it works well. This was not an accident in how we made our barrel nuts, it was envisioned to require simple, common tools. We don't regularly stock...

    Upgrading from Tikka CTR - 3 options want opinions

    I'll take the opportunity and toot my horn a little here: I started the Tikka prefit industry, first as barrel nut installs and then as shouldered prefits. We are the experts in the field. We can make you whatever you'd like. Stainless, fluted, carbon, cerakote, no cerakote... anything from...

    Kids hunting rifle?

    You're 100% correct. However, in PA the Game Wardens have more legal authority than the state troopers in many cases. When it's hunting related they have incredible authority to be jackasses and screw with you. It took YEARS and finally a legal opinion that was sued for to allow suppressor...

    Kids hunting rifle?

    That's really cool, I have to see what the PGC says about those. They're a little bit "fudd-y" when it comes to things like this but it's worth a shot. Right now both of my boys have bolt guns that are setup in 22 or 6 creed and they've been doing well with them.
