Rust question.
The bolt body and action body are SS, but I don't think any of the smaller parts in the bolt assembly like the cocking piece, shroud, etc are SS. I've seen all of those parts rust when the bolt and action were fine.- bohem

Rust question.
Are you looking at the bolt shroud where the cocking piece sits? I don't think those were SS even on the Stainless actions. They were just regular parts painted silver AFAIK. The easy thing that I can think of is to just cerakote it and you won't have any issues.- bohem

Battle born grease for barrel threads for barrel imstall?
Yes, you're correct. I was working from memory, I should have walked across to the assembly area and double checked. Thanks for checking.- bohem

Short barrel 6.5 prc
We built a few shorty 6.5 PRC's for guys using them in tree stands; all at 16.5" With factory ammo the 140 ELDm and 143 ELDx ammo was going 2800-2850 for both ammo types in all the barrels. Basically it worked out that a 16.5" PRC was the equivalent to a 26" 6.5 Creed.- bohem

Kids hunting rifle?
We live in a state that requires manually operated firearms only, so no AR's are allowed for big game hunting. I built a 6mm Creedmoor on a Rem 700 action with a 16.5" barrel for my older son. It's been extremely effective on whitetails from point blank out to 540yd so far; he's been using it...- bohem

Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?
You're not factually incorrect that their shipping lead times are long around a sale. I think your expectations are skewed by understanding who you're comparing them to. I think you stated it perfectly in your response "It is what it is."- bohem

Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?
That read like a complaint, which is why I said what I did. A couple of years ago I shut a sale down early because the response was higher than we expected and I didn't want to get too far behind on delivery times. We fielded quite a few phone calls of people angry that the sale stopped early...- bohem

Thoughts on the Aero Precision SOLUS ?
Maybe just order it when things aren't on sale and the phone call and shipping volumes are low? Right Fast Cheap Pick 2- bohem

Battle born grease for barrel threads for barrel imstall?
We use Lubriplate 1340a on threads, locking lugs and cocking cam surfaces. Pretty much everything does the job from high contact pressure, moly/sulfur grease to a light white lith grease. However the reason we use the 1340a and not some of the sticker, metal flake impregnated ones like Anti...- bohem

PVA Solus .223 Wylde Barreled Action (Barrel question)
We don't use any BA barrels here. Our Solus barreled action OEM's use Wilson, Shilen, or Rock as we can get them. Right now we don't have any Rock's in stock so depending on what's orderred it will be a Wilson or Shilen. They shoot very well or we wouldn't use them. The Solus barreled...- bohem

PVA Black Friday 2024 - Live
Not for the sale, we down-selected some options in order to keep the lead times reasonable since that's been an issue in years (long) passed.- bohem

Your PVA prefit experience
No kidding! The 3 twist requires the use of copper "solids" and really the only game in town on that specific niche is the Maker bullets. The super fast twist rate tears apart anything that isn't machined/swaged from a solid piece of brass or copper. The RPM makes the bullet open extremely...- bohem

Pre fit barrels question
Back to the original topic here: Yes, I've done it. I did it a over decade ago and then proceeded to win a bunch of matches with them. Would Tony Boyer do it? Maybe, maybe not. The difference in me sitting down with a rifle to shoot against Tony has way more to do with the people sitting...- bohem

Your PVA prefit experience
Not really. The stumbling block is the 3 twist barrel. We can go as fast as 7tw and I have some 7tw Rock Creek cut blanks here that would do anything subsonic but it won't make those special Maker bullets turn into copper broadheads. That's why we don't offer the caliber right now.- bohem

6mm creedmoor short barrel
We run a 16.5" 6mm Creed on my son's rifle for crop damage work on several local farms. With a 6" long suppressor it is still handy getting in and out of vehicles at night. We're running 95 TMK and 87 Vmax both around 3000fps and that combo has been extremely effective on chicken and apple...- bohem
