    PVA Black Friday 2024 - Live

    It's on the list of projects. This summer I started updating all of our tooling for the Brakes to improve throughput. Hopefully around January we'll be totally converted to the new process that's much cleaner for producing them.

    Pre fit barrels question

    I appreciate it. I have never told people that barrel nuts don't shoot. I just advise the shouldered route if the price point is the same.

    Leave it alone. Order spiral flutes next time.

    Pre fit barrels question

    If you let me see that action once I can solve the barrel nut problem for you. And the tags aren't something that only we can use. I tell folks all the time that if you want to give it to another gunsmith in the future have at it. If they say they can't work with the information that's on the...

    Pre fit barrels question

    Barrel nuts fix only 1 of the potential issues. Chamber shape is not detected when you throw a headspace gauge in the barrel and run it down on the locked bolt. The latest recurring problem we see coming into the shop these days is conic runout in the chamber and runout in the throat. The...

    Converting my TL3 barrels to Origin, anything I need to know?

    It's a 0.100" shoulder set back only and the threads are 0.050" per turn, so if the machinist hits that dimension exactly it will time out exactly. In reality if they're within 2 thou in either direction it will be within headspace and the engraving will time up within the normal window required.

    25x47 or 6.5x47 for NRL Hunter

    I would check TNF and use whichever one has a higher TNF and still makes power factor. https://patriotvalleyarms.com/trajectory-normalizing-factor/ https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/the-trajectory-normalizing-factor.6979294/

    Barrel rifling

    Off topic, but yes, I confirmed it at short range with the LabRadar when I had both still tracking and I put my own microphones against this one and got data downrange. It's not doppler, but for what it costs I'm hard pressed to find something else that does such a good job for so little money.

    Barrel rifling

    I have used a shot marker for years, since it came out. It made my life much easier than rolling out all the wires I had setup for my acoustic chrono that I built 15 years ago. So far only one genius has felt the need to take shots at the colored things on the corner of the frame while I was at...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Walking into a hotel, getting pulled over with a rifle case across the back seat, etc is all cause to draw eyes and questions in just about any east coast or west coast state. It's the transit from getting the gun out of the vehicle and into some other building that garners attention. Or...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    You're right on point IMO. That's why I suggested a tennis racket bag. I have a guitar hardcase that was purpose built for holding a short rifle and a couple spare mags. I completed the ensemble by going on amazon and getting a pack of vintage rock stickers and I slapped them all over it...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    How about a tennis racket bag with some customized padding?

    Barrel rifling

    Is Mark still around? I bought some barrels from him in 2013-2015. Super guy as well but I haven't heard from him in a long time.

    Terminus QC 350 legend?

    It needs different mags in an AR because of the shoulder in the 223 and the bead in the magazine getting in the way of the straight wall in the 350 legend. I have blanks on hand to make both of the barrels you're looking for. We've made a bunch of legend barrels for folks but I'm not sure what...

    Carbon Barrels

    I would go to a lighter contour stainless barrel, maybe cut the length down a little bit and skip the carbon. Something like a Sendero or a Light Palma in a 223 Wylde will still have near zero recoil, it's super accurate, and it's a joy to shoot. At 24" long a Light Palma is going to weight...

    Which action to go with?

    I've made barrels and barreled actions for customers out of every one of the options and I've done more than a couple of each. Today the precision bolt rifle market has consumers completely overwhelmed for choices. The actions are so good these days that it is hard to NOT build a highly...
