    PVA now offering AR15 barrels!

    1) Yes, it's in the works currently. We have a couple prototypes being shot now and I'm gathering final data on them. The performance is impressive, the best thing you can do is get an adjustable gas system on the gun (key or block). We are also working on 22ARC with a SAAMI throat as well...

    M995 Action good for anything?

    Off the top of my head I believe you're correct. I haven't done many of them, I know the 595 is identical.

    Bravo Zulu to our own Bohem!

    Thanks, Zev. The plane in the photos isn't mine, they used pics of me helping to unload a buddy's aircraft, but at least it was still a Mooney

    Straight-pull bolt action

    I made a few barrels for Strasser USA and we've had several in hand. It's a very nicely made action and it feels super slick. I have one here that I'm going to build out into a shop demo rifle to show folks.

    Bravo Zulu to our own Bohem!

    Thank you, All. It was a pleasure to be able to help. The region is absolutely devastated and it was absolutely a no brainer to fill up the plane and help however we could.

    Need a better muzzle brake

    You may not consider it viable but this particular aluminum is stronger and harder than mild steel, which is why we use it. Incidentally it's also stronger than Ti6Al4v Type 2 and about half the weight. Once anodized now the surface and the core are harder and stronger than the steel most...

    Need a better muzzle brake

    Ahhh, but I never said it was steel nor did I say it was 0.7oz. You assumed the material and didn't get the arithmetic correct. Here's the full size Jetblast in ultralight form, that one weighs 39 grams, which your brake is 0.3oz different. It's the same geometry as the regular Jetblast...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    We announced a hunting rifle yesterday to compete in the Fierce/Christensen/Proof market around 3k. Performance with factory ammo was a major consideration and I would say we nailed it. It is called "The MODUS" This report came from Fritz Precision Shooting, a LR school in Idaho: "Cold bore...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    Buttons surprised me and came in early, we will have some initial pilot parts running later this week on some 8 twists. With any luck I'll be testing one in a couple weeks after stress relief.

    Need a better muzzle brake

    Crazy as it sounds, that's still heavier than our self-timing 3 port "Back Country" ultralight and only 0.3oz lighter than the UL Jetblast.

    Need a better muzzle brake

    The PVA Jetblast was designed for smaller cartridges, you should be using our Shockwave brake for the PRC. It alson won't turn your sinuses into jello. https://patriotvalleyarms.com/shockwave-muzzle-brake/

    Your PVA prefit experience

    I ordered the tooling for making some 8's to test, though it won't be here til very late 2024 (which means early 2025). The button dimensions are different depending on the blank stock size, otherwise we'd be running them off the buttons from the AR barrels.

    Your PVA prefit experience

    I'm glad you're seeing excellent results, that's our goal! Contrary to popular internet lore, button barrels that have been properly stress relieved don't have the problem you're discussing. A lot of the "proof" that cut rifled doesn't have the problem where button does comes from data...

    Smith who will contour a barrel

    My information is out of date then, thanks for the heads up. It's good to hear things are back on the way up there.

    Smith who will contour a barrel

    Yep, we can do it. We can work with a barrel that's already been chambered and typically don't need to touch the crown either but that last part comes with a caveat that we have tooling to support the nose without touching the bore. Typically it's in/out less than a week. We have two centers...

    Always! Thank you, we appreciate the business.

    Depends on the bore size, typically around 100-150 in the smaller, high speed stuff.

    PVA now offering AR15 barrels!

    These are ready to ship barrels, not customs, as such they're run to a spec and 1/2-28 is still (as much as I don't care for it) the 223 spec muzzle thread. If you would like a custom we can do that for an upcharge. If you won't want to do that we do have a 1/2 to 5/8 adapter that we make in...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    It's part of the deal. The long majority of our customers have been really great to work for and we have some business policies in place due to things that we learned the hard way with folks who weren't so great. The workload is generally high and the complaints are typically low around here...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    Yes, we offer custom throating to a dummy round. We require that you send in 3 dummy rounds so that we can measure the BTO length and confirm it's consistent. Load the dummy rounds where the bullet would touch in your ideal round: IE if you want to shoot them at 0.020" jump, send us dummy...
