Lol...Yes, I agree, the JHR will shoot...but, for me, I would have to reload AND practice a LOT more...It is not the gun, for me, it is the shooter and, sigh, factory ammo...But good enough! BTW, I love my Geissele 2-stage trigger...

Yes Sir, I understand that but my thought is that if someone received their rifle and their order was 3100 and mine is 3118 I feel like Im close...
I noticed this a bit ago and Josh's comment of an announcement next week has been making me go Hmmm. Action change for the JHR?? Not sure how all that atf variance stuff works though so if that's possible.
Srgt. Hulka: what caliber of your JH Rifle ?
6.5 Creedmoor.
Wouldn't be surprised if there is a change in actions. With ARC having prioritized their own sales to non pre-order retail customers over fulfilling Josh's pre-orders, If I were Josh I'd have been looking elsewhere. ARC also seems focused on the new actions so maybe they're not that interested in supplying the Nucleus.
We didn't change the order SKU's we just updated the notes and took the barloc off the cut tags in production.
If you can send me a PM with your order number in it I can pull the details from our barrel SN tracking system and verify what they were cut, but if you're getting them now and requested no BL then it's highly unlikely they are cut with a BL unless they had already been cut that way before the request.
Agreed. I'm looking for another action and although I like my Nucleus and it checks the boxes I want, I'm not sure the next one will be a Nucleus. It just seems, to me anyway, ARC puts out a product and is onto the next big thing before even finishing what was started. Kinda like Ted said a new follower for his magazines was coming soon how long ago?
This was essentially the way I was thinking about it. #3158 getting more and more excited the more I see orders shipping!

Just dipping in here to say that my Hancock is still shooting like a laser and I should be ready for a new barrel by the end of autumn at this rate.
Easy to develop loads for, have settled on a spring weight and primer. Loving the gun. Now if only I could actually find time to get out and shoot!

You can get the barloc print on the ARC website.
For those of you still waiting on your John Hancock, be patient. It’s worth the wait. I’m getting more and more giggles the more I shoot it. It just gets better and better. This rifle will flat shoot.
Shot this 5-shot group about three hours ago at 100 yards. 140 gr ELD-M, 42.2 gr of H4350, Hornady Brass and BR-2 primers...with a Magnetospeed hanging on the barrel.
But.... you missed.....
@Srgt. Hulka : Can you share the speed of your 6.5mm Creedmoor load? Thks
Flightmurse: I suggest you to contact @ jonesturf as he has been very pro-active in keeping everyone on point.
I have 2358. No rifle...yet!
Too damn quiet. I'm still waiting on a simple barrel order from January 21st.
i know someone waiting on a barrel from black friday at least
Damn. Mine is supposedly done and was supposed to ship two weeks ago. Still no tracking though. I don't understand it.
Try emailing Jeremy at [email protected] and he should be able to figure out whats up pretty quick
I ended up having to call, their email was still kind of spotty
they posted on FB that they were having internet/phone issues and ATT was supposed to be there ASAP to fix them.
With ATT that could be 9 months or more...
Still much faster than their JHR delivery schedule.
Just got my shipping notice. 29 weeks. I'm just glad it's on its way and I can get shooting this weekend.
29 weeks for just the barrel?
Got my Nucleus BA today. Got a timney 2 stage installed, and set in a KRG X ray. Also mounted the Razor HD gen 2 in some seekins 1.26 rings. Could easily go lower but not sure I'll bother. Plan to run a few rounds through it tomorrow.
I know someone who's been waiting since october. I think he was supposed to get it this week
No pics?
Can is a Griffin Paladin mounted with their 6.5 taper mount 2 port brake.
First 5 shots after zeroing the scope.
@toxic did u use 2 washers for the front action screw?
I'm picking up my Nucleus action today (hopefully) and its going on a Whiskey 3 Chassis. Instructions says to use 2 washers for Remington action.
Would just like to confirm its the same case with other 700 footprint actions...in tis case the Nucleus.
Thanks!

I only used 1.
Is there supposed to be a washer on the rear screw as well? instructions I saw online showed one, but none fit.
I took it apart and added another washer to the front even though I didn't need to. A washer wont physically fit in the rear. Not sure if its improperly sized or what. It's a "blem" chassis but cant even tell its blemished anywhere though. I'll email KRG about the rear washer.
