    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    I would love to get the action makers response to some of the large torque numbers suggested. Ern

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    Keep the science coming though. I do 70lbs, with the occasional increase to get a flute to time, nothing big probably an additional 20--30lbs Ern

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    This is the EXACT print......and the one linked to their website. I understand things change, so I always check the manufacturer's website to make sure I get the updated specs. Don't get me wrong, I am not shitting on ARC.......I just made a decision to no longer offer prefits based on their...

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    Yeah, I'm not sure whats going on with ARC. I thought it may have been a singleton error......it happens. But how their "tech expert" handled it when we called was pretty terrible. Long story short......I cut the barrel to their HS measurement of .822 +/- .001".....barrel measures...

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    Just because you are an engineer doesn't mean you are correct. I don't cut prefits for ARC actions anymore. They can't seem to hit their own specifications..... +.004" headspace from their own print is garbage. Ern

    Barrel Torque Ludicrocity

    I torque barrels on at 70lbs......clicker torque wrench/impact socket and "in the action style action wrench." I've yet to find a reason to exceed this. If you take machining seriously and leave a good surface finish on the barrel shoulder and cut the threads specific to the action.....you will...

    Feasible to rebarrel?

    Don't hold back on my account, I actually want to hear your experience. In full transparency I feel I don't do enough Tikkas to really get a large enough sample to make a definitive statement.........so I err on the side of handfit. I hope I never discourage anyone from posting on...

    Feasible to rebarrel?

    There is consistency in mass production, just not something I am willing to put my reputation and liability insurance up against. You think Lake City measures every 5.56 round for seating depth, powder charge, etc.? I interviewed there back when it was ATK and they were running 2.7 million...

    Feasible to rebarrel?

    Exactly, you DO need to take a measurement on the receiver and recoil lug. That is my point, the barrel maker literally just took a shot in the dark (educated guess maybe) at the measurement and made it within the .004 range of min/max. This would not be the preferred method of...

    Feasible to rebarrel?

    Those that know me, know that I have pretty thick skin. It takes more than internet grabass to hurt these feelings.......

    Feasible to rebarrel?

    Hey man, don't take my opinion as gospel or anything really. If you found a solution that works for you......cheers. Sounds like it works well for you........no shipping risk and no crazy leadtime (hopefully). There are a number of shops cranking out prefits with good quality and good...

    Feasible to rebarrel?

    Wanna hear a funny story. I had a guy bring in a shouldered prefit for a Remington 700.........just wanted me to remove the old barrel and screw on the new!!! It was crazy, oddly enough it headspaced at +.003 which is within range, but I did have to cut the counterbore and end of the barrel...

    Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully Greg wears a helmet......... Ern

    Feasible to rebarrel?

    Do tell. I am all ears. CNC or manual the reality of manufacturing stays the same. When you are cutting to a number.......you have to A. choose a number to encompass 99% of the variation in the action set (ALL prefittable actions have by the way)......or B. run "tighter" fitment numbers and...

    Feasible to rebarrel?

    Easy there. I've known Rob O (and crew) since before the PRS was created.........haha.

    Feasible to rebarrel?

    "It’s not the 90s and smiths aren’t hand fitting barrels to actions that take prefits like back then to factory actions." I guess I'm still in the 90s I NEVER cut barrel threads or headspace to a generic callout when I have the action in hand. Why leave ANYTHING to chance? If you know you are...

    Anyone have info on CRB/Custom Rifle Barrels?

    This has mimicked my experience. Some of the first CRBs that I got my hands on......definitely had a good bit of bore runout. In truth, nothing worse than the occassional Bartlein, Kreiger, etc. Then I did about 30-ish CRBs that had very impressively straight bores. I was making comments about...

    Anyone have info on CRB/Custom Rifle Barrels?

    My favorite thing about CRBs is they are 4-groove. 4-groove or die......if you know, you know.

    Question about potential throat issue on brand new Accuracy International replacement barrel, pic's attached

    Yep, dull reamer or fast feeding with no finish pass. A little caution with "shooting it out"......I have seen a few instances of those burr/burrs causing bore damage......basically ironing divots or gouging as they break free and travel out of the muzzle. They are the same material and...
