I like it. What length barrel?

It looks like a loading issue. I have a tendency to put the last round in like the one on the right side if I'm not paying attention. Not sure why that last round likes to do that sometimes.
Fantastic looking rifle, prefer the color they send you. Also like the look of the non-threaded barrel.
I ordered after the first of the year. This is like anticipating a baby coming!
Just got mine 2 days ago. It was 18 weeks.
Are there two types of magazines floating around? I have one with black follower that take extreme force to fit in a manners mini chassis. I have one with a red follower that fits perfectly and will drop freely. Neither have feeding issues.
Don’t have a pic handy but run a “20 kukri BA on Manners TCS. All weights in ARCA rail and rear weight removed. With Atlas bipod up front it just barely balances. 20” MTU is the way to go IMO.
Did the exact same thing...
This is lite 28oz scope too and a heavyish mdt ckye pod. All 7 weights in the arca rail and no magazine/bolt in the picture. You want a 20-22" MTU to really get this thing to balance. Get the steel arca rail as well from Manners..
The Matrix is even worse to balance... you're talking about every possible front weight, internal and external, and still 'maybe'...
MPA Ultralite rear fits the BA Comp. Helps balance much better! I'll bet the hybrid fits too. This mismatch was the best route to balance my 18" Kukri in an MPA.

That's a great looking rifle!!!!! Not mine, just the pic they sent when I asked about color. I should be able to post a pic of mine in June hopefully.
That’s possibly the only thing in existence that’s vudoo green. When I google “vudoo green cerakote” this picture pops up. I never clicked on the thumbnail as I figured it was probably something in the text that suggested that pic but now that I look at it I see the barrel is green(ish). Thanks for posting.
Pretty sure that's Greg Roman's rifle. Barrel fluting and "voodoo green" cerakote he mentions in a nice YouTune video on what he opted to do on the build is a giveaway.
If you don't mind me asking, were did you get the cheek riser pad ? I have been looking for somthing for my Ridgeback. Thanks !
It’s a wiebad mini cheek pad. I have one on my AI and love it.
Wiebad Mini Stock Pad - Short Action Precision
Add a little class to that hard old adjustable cheek piece with a Wiebad Mini Stock Pad. Soft yet rugged synthetic suede material with a thin layer of padding inside to reduce shock, all stitched together with Cordura edging. Upgrade that cheek rest for the best in comfort behind your rifle! -...
Four years ago, after we first stood the shop up, Vudoo Green was born from a Cerakote accident. I don't recall the exact details because I wasn't there when it happened, but I believe it was the product of improper mix and either temperature or cure time (maybe both), and the result was actually pretty cool. We liked it a lot and so have many others, so the "accident" was turned into a recipe.

The two types are Polymer (Glass Filled Nylon) and Aluminum. The followers do not denote a different type, we just added a colorant to the material used to mold followers. I did make a change to the molding and welding processes for the housings to deal with fitment variation across so many different DBMs and chassis systems, but there's only one type of Polymer magazine.

I have a handful of the first gen poly mags with black follower. They have a wide front shoulder width dimension, to where they sometimes don't fit magwells or are tight.
But i like that, as they fit very well in my older Castle-cut MPAs, and most drop free but some drag a bit and I've marked them accordingly, but they don't move and that aids feeding by eliminating the slop.
I don't yet have any new gen poly mags and I keep checking to see if the aluminum 15rd will be available again so I can't compare dimensions.
But if you have the original wide ones, you can always sand down the shoulders a bit too. I'd rather have a tight fit than a sloppy fit YMMV.
I can't sing the praise enough of these AICS sized rimfire mags, they're perfect, agreed ^^^ MB is our Heisenberg...
Edited to add: Just snagged a 15rd off the website, only 5 left! Crystal Blue Persuasion indeed.

The J Allen ones are extremely rigid. Pushing the pivot point further out has its merits.
I could be wrong, but I believe the different inlets in foundations are more to do with bolt handle sweeps and angles than differences in action to action for something that should an exact 1.35” diameter cylinder.
Full front weight kit.
20" MTU
It's has a Razor on it now, still balanced.
Weight?
Metric F&©k ton.....

What height rings are you running to clear the NV bridge?
These were Vortex 30mm rings 1.45 height on 30moa base with PST Gen2 on it.
Currently I'm running American Defense Recon Straight Low Quick Detach 34mm Scope 20MOA. I had move up the bridge little bit to clear the scope/caps.
Was able to zero at 50, but turret pretty much bottomed out.

No, foundations are milled specifically to the action. For example a lone peak action has a gusseted bottom compared to an impact that has a round bottom. The inlet is milled to fit the gussets on the lone peak exactly. That’s just one example.
Basically, foundations are not just “700 pattern. And that’s why they fit so well.
Not to mention, many 700 pattern actions aren’t just a complete cylinder. Even if round on the bottom, they transition to non cylinders halfway up. Foundations are also milled for this as well.
I just had a look at a Lone Peak. That definitely makes manufacture of the action easier/cheaper. Not so much for the negative image down inside the stock.
Those are facets. Not gussets.
I received my 22” mtu barreled action today. Put it in a prs1 mini chassis, it fed the 50 rounds I shot perfectly. Sighted it in with sk match flat nose that I had 1 box of and it shot little ragged holes. So far l am liking this rifle
Just got my manners TCS stock in today! GAP camo. Gonna need the rest of the area 419 weights to balance it out. I dig the hell out of the stock so far though.

They're definitely worth looking at, maybe my next build.. especially the TCS
Yeah dude, you didn't get the memo?! It's all TCS & Foundations now.
As proof that I know what I'm talking about, my TCS is on order right now, haha!
Hopefully someone will bring it to one of the Matches so i can get behind it.... would love to try it out
I'm always the last one to get the memos!
You people are impossible..
Happiness is only a phone call away... Just spoke to Jim an hour ago to pay for a different one... I'm happy.
