    Increasing Bolt and Barrel Extension Strength

    45-90 you are proving to be quite the SME on the Hybrid cases! You always have good detailed answers. I’ve been searching the internet for anything on max chamber pressure of an AR-10, just the max safe tolerance. But everything I can find is relative to .308 SAMMI pressure, which isn’t what...

    .277 Fury 16.5” shorty bolt report

    Xfrog, mine is a 1-7” which bumped with the SIG SPEAR twist rate. Still no accuracy testing. I’ll post the next time I’m back from Japan and group test it.

    .277 Fury 16.5” shorty bolt report

    I was looking for the Cross in .277 but the only ones in online store fronts are scams. I’ve talked to Sig, the Cross in .277 Fury won’t be out until this winter, at earliest, if it comes out within the next year at all. I just decided to go with a barrel and build from parts I already had and...

    .277 Fury 16.5” shorty bolt report

    45-90, Thank you for the detailed info on loading the hybrid cases. That’s good experience based data. I’ll eventually get into loading for it, when I move back from overseas and can set up my reloading room again.

    .277 Fury 16.5” shorty bolt report

    Disclaimer: I don’t post much so apparently I’ve saved up for this one. I put this together during some spare time when home on leave and I won’t be able to refine this for another year. This isn’t a full detailed review of the .277 Fury cartridge, I didn’t have time to do a full Chrono and...

    Black Collar Arms MBA

    Definitely filling a gap in the the market with other straight-pulls being actions like the Blaser R8 ($$$$), the Savage Impulse, or old Mil like the K31. No affiliation, just interested. Under the reserve option menu, they have "undecided, rifle, pistol, build kit" listed. Elsewhere on the...

    American Rifle Company, $795 Nucleus Gen 1.1 and Gen 2.0 Bolt Actions

    Ted is a great dude and the mad scientist of Bolt actions. I'm glad he is into guns and doesn't have easy access to body parts and tesla vault because this COVID 2020 crap is totally Shelly. For some reason I could see him pulling it off. I have one of the first Nucleus's and an Archimedies...

    American Rifle Company New Archimedes Action, New Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision

    Good info, thank you. I put the barrel on yesterday, after setting headspace, tightening the BARLOC, my BARLOC clamp has no gap, and the two sides look to be touching against each other. You are right, when installing the BARLOC with Nut, you are to tighten the nut until you can fit the nut...

    American Rifle Company New Archimedes Action, New Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision

    Great! Thanks for clearing that up. I just picked up my action yesterday, I'll have to put it together today to see how it interfaces. As for the BARLOC, I know the rumor is that it might loose zero if it is bumped. But has there been any sort of verification of this, officially? ARC's...

    American Rifle Company New Archimedes Action, New Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision

    Tracking all about the BARLOC portion, thank you. I'm really getting at if I have to get a new barrel for the Archimedes or not, since I am swapping the Nucleus for my new Archimedes in my match gun. I have a shouldered prefit barrel from PVA for a Nucleus with BARLOC. If the Archimedes...

    American Rifle Company New Archimedes Action, New Xylo Chassis, and major Mausingfield revision

    Question for verification about the Archimedes: Compared to the Nucleus, I noticed that it doesn't have the removable recoil lugs; one flat for a standard barrel, one beveled for using the BARLOC system. Does this mean that the Archimedes is not compatible with Nucleus barrels cut with a...

    Ted, when can we expect the Archimedies to start shipping? Are we still looking at this month for the initial orders?

    .284 Shehane and .284 velocities 26" barrel with 180's???

    Here is a good article that really gets into the weeds of a .284win short action build. http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek095.html Greg, I don’t think a large frame AR build in .284 is going to work out all that well. That cartridge does best when you can get a 160-180gr bullet seated out of the...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    All three of those 6.5mm's will be accurate and for 100-350yrds it's a chip shot. The 6.5x47 is a very efficient cartridge and has large accuracy nodes so you don't have to chase 0.1grns or 0.001" bullet depths. The x47 used have the edge with brass, but now that the 6.5CM has brass made by...

    PRS Talk New Innovative Product for PRS

    Personally I'm working on a GoFundMe account for a start up: Jagerhoundenkoferklindenspricken rifle works. It will be veteran owned, I'm finishing my arm sleeves, growing out my beard, and I might of worked with SOF, but that's classified so I can't tell you... The rifles will be in the...

    I've brought up introducing new divisions, classes, etc..on this forum before for discussion, no more. Gamers will game, because free-recoil with 6mm BR in a 30lb rifle is, you know, "marksmanship", and traditionalist want nothing but .7.62mm M40A1 clones w/10x Unertl scopes because it was good...
