    PVA Comp-40 Tripod

    So the OP (me) got off his butt and contacted the cc company and filed a dispute. The cc company (Chase) was very helpful and took my statement and immediately issued me a temporary credit for the full amount of the deposit I put down on the PVA tripod. They gave PVA time to rebut my claim and...

    ADM Harris bipod adapter - rail type?

    Ordered the RRS adapter for Harris bipod last night. Just felt like I would be able to achieve a tighter lockup with a lever. But I'm sure the knob on the RRS will work well.

    ADM Harris bipod adapter - rail type?

    I can't tell from the ADM website whether the Harris bipod adapter AD-BP is pic rail only. Or do they have an adapter that fits an Arca/RRS dovetail rail? https://www.americandefensemanufacturing.com/view/product/15/ I'm looking for an adapter to attach my Harris bipod to an Arca rail. I...

    ARCA rail for Tikka TAC A1

    I'd like to add an ARCA rail to the TAC A1 as the rifle has done really well for me in some local matches this year. I would like the ability to position my bipod anywhere along the length of the handguard. I seem to recall a thread where one member said he used a Sawtooth rail for his TAC A1...

    6.5 Creedmoor w/ Small Rifle Primer

    Bullet: Hornady 140 ELDM Powder: H4350 Primer: Fed 205 Case: Lapua SR Barrel: Tikka 24" Twist: 1:8" I started at 40gr and have worked up to 43gr for 2760 fps and sd of 9 fps. But I did this carefully and it is safe in my rifle. You would have to determine if it is in yours. Btw, with previous...

    Salt mixture for salt bath annealing

    Thanks for the link. It looks like from that table that Ballistic Recreation supplies salt composition #4 and what people on the hide report using is composition #6. I think that satisfactory results can be achieved with either. My purchase of salts from Duda will enable me to replicate #6 and...

    Anyone? Where are the salt bath annealers out there? Surely someone else has researched the chemistry of the salts.

    PVA Comp-40 Tripod

    Well PVA certainly has time to send me spam emails about their latest muzzle brakes being in stock. Wish they would find some time to address their customers that have put up their money in hopes of some day receiving their product.

    PVA Comp-40 Tripod

    I started this thread back in June and tried to be patient. Now it is coming up on 4 months overdue for PVA's delivery date. Has anyone received their tripod? Or even gotten an update. I've tried to make contact a couple of times but never heard back from PVA. I'm not exactly a satisfied...

    Salt mixture for salt bath annealing

    So like many on the SH forum I started salt bath annealing using a kit from Ballistic Recreations. It has worked well so far except that I only ordered one container of his salt mixture and now I don't have enough to fill the pot to the desired level. So in search of replacement salts I read...

    Suppressors NFA Trust creation options?

    I'm in the Atlanta area and at the recommendation of my dealer I used Dean's services as well. It was a very simple process to fill out the online form and he emails your trust documents. Get them notarized and you are good to go. But the best part is when I called his office his para answers...

    Comp 40 tripod question

    PVA has had my deposit since April. The least they could do is update the website with a new expected date. I'm not a fan of the way they've handled the missed delivery date.

    PVA Comp-40 Tripod

    Appreciate the responses, especially from those who have been able to make contact with PVA. If only they would update their website or respond to an inquiry they would create a lot of good will with potential customers. Unfortunately they seem to be moving in the other direction. I guess the...

    PVA Comp-40 Tripod

    And if I weren't such a cheap bastard and hated losing the $50 cancellation fee, I too would probably cancel and look elsewhere.

    PVA Comp-40 Tripod

    I get it that they have a backlog on barrels and gunsmithing work and aren't very good about estimating wait times. But this a product from a supplier, not something that PVA must add their labor to. PVA should at least be able to get a reasonable estimate of delivery from that supplier.

    PVA Comp-40 Tripod

    I'm starting to get impatient. I've had one on order now for nearly 2 1/2 months. Back when I ordered their website said next shipment expected May 1, 2019. Still says the same thing. No updates to my order status when I login. Has anyone heard from them or gotten their (recently ordered)...

    Salt bath annealing advice

    The thing about using a Lyman pot is that the shellholder from BR is specifically sized for the Lee. So if you're not going to use his shellholder I don't see why you couldn't use any furnace you already have. But the shellholder is very convenient for controlling the depth.
