We're in the same boat...Ordered in Nov. Due 3/5. "Currently no ETA on left handed actions"
You have to add the bore guide separate. It doesn’t come with one.I ordered one in an MPA BA a couple weeks ago. Do they come with the delrin bore guide?
Most run from end of barrel to shoulder behind thread .467 to .470 inches.Thanks mate. Anyone know how long the thread is? Im going to make my own Tuner for it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the website explicitly say to contact them if you're using a tuner so they can make the threads longer?Thanks mate. Anyone know how long the thread is? Im going to make my own Tuner for it.
That sounds like an upgrade to me. Bartlein makes some amazing barrels. Not sure if it will cost you more though.Please Guys. Some advice. I’m new here and ordered my vudoo brining of Jan. I just got an email from Vudoo today. Saying this “
Our Ace barrels are currently on back order. Would you like to go with Bartlein instead?” I ordered a 20” Ace with a flute. Is there much of a difference. Thanks
I don’t mind if they cost more $. I m going all out on this gun. I live on a small island in southeast Alaska. I’m very thankful for this site and the knowledge here. Just trying to make good choices. Thanks again for the adviceThat sounds like an upgrade to me. Bartlein makes some amazing barrels. Not sure if it will cost you more though.
You’ll not regret the Bartlein. What’s even cooler is, with the interest in rimfire continuing to ramp at a blistering pace, a lot of barrel makers are putting tons of effort into making better rimfire barrels and Bartlein is at the top.I don’t mind if they cost more $.

The other side of this is, we’ve saturated capacity at Ace, so that’s why you received the email. We’re adjusting everywhere possible to keep things moving while not settling for less than what we’ve always delivered.
Hope this helps,

Thanks, and happy to be here Dude.MB,
As always, it's seriously nice to have you on here to answer questions.
One I have for you - it seems I've been caught up in a delay on left handed barreled action due to missing left handed bolt noses.
Is there a estimated time when these will be released?
Much appreciated.
You're the bee's knees......Thanks, and happy to be here Dude.
Funny you should ask about this, I’m actually looking into it today and have a way to speed things up. Standby for more info....

I received the same update on my order and did not hesitate switching to the Bartlein. I've used them on my centerfires and there's no question they are top quality. I don't believe there is an upcharge for the Bartlein.I don’t mind if they cost more $. I m going all out on this gun. I live on a small island in southeast Alaska.

It is true , everyone say vudoo has great customer support.Love it. Thank you!!!You’ll not regret the Bartlein.

I'm running a medium in mine with no issues at 1lb 10oz total weight. Although the high is correctly recommended by measuring, my understanding is that it's only necessary if you want to run as light of weight as possible. Set your weight and check it with a drop test.I just picked up a TacSport 2-stage, default medium sear and the owner said it worked great on the Vudoo, but I've seen threads here recommending a high sear. Anyone have issues running the medium sear? Wanted to verify before I have to plop another $35 for a new sear.
Did you see they have a whole left hand gun for sale?Looking forward to hearing LH barrel actions becoming available and shipping out. I'm on a notification list!
I know i did, i really tried to convince my wife that we needed a lefty....Did you see they have a whole left hand gun for sale?

Did u adjust your lower seer engagement. I am using the high top seer on mine. However set at 8/8 I had to adjust lower seer, which you should do anyway to optimize the triggerWhen I set it to single stage, it worked reliably, but on 2-stage it did not work. I was trying to run it at an 8oz/8oz setup. I am guessing at 1lb 10oz it probably would be okay.
I'm back to my Huber for now.
With the medium sear no adjustment worked to make it reliable at the sub 1lb two stage weight.^^^ this, if you increase or decrease weight you must adjust/check your sear engagement
Ok then that sounds like a high sear will be needed somewhere in the sub 1.5 lb range to go lighter as that as light as I've went with mine.With the medium sear no adjustment worked to make it reliable at the sub 1lb two stage weight.
Your best bet will be the high sear for all weight range settings.With the medium sear no adjustment worked to make it reliable at the sub 1lb two stage weight.
Doesnt matter for me due to my design.Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the website explicitly say to contact them if you're using a tuner so they can make the threads longer?
Rick is the stock equipped with the Mini chassis? If you can not replicate the failure with the BA out of the stock I suggest using a dial indicator to test the bedding fit. Zero the indicator with the base clamped to either the forearm or barrel and indicator on the other. Alternately loosen and tighten the action screws looking for movement I will bed if I see any more than 0.003" but prefer less! Most of the time a thousandth is fine. Repeat this measuring off the tang as well. If you find excessive movement remove the trigger and repeat because the trigger could be contacting the stock somewhere.About two weeks ago took possession of a V22 Gen2 with a Proof CF barrel. VGW had kindly installed a Bix'nAndy 2-stage BR/Competition trigger. I checked the functioning of the barreled action-trigger and all was well as one would expect on a VGW product. I put the barreled action-trigger into a PRS1 stock inletted for Rem 700 SA with 45 in/lb for both action screws. Until yesterday all seemed well with hundreds of rounds of dry-firing. Yesterday on closing the bolt the firing pin would release about once every two or three shots. I removed the barreled action-trigger and no firing pin release occurred. My immediate naive gunsmithing thought was the height of the top sear. I had specified a high top sear from Bullet Central but have not confirmed it is a high top sear. Most curious is why this phenomenon occured after hundreds of rounds of firing. I could understand if it occurred immediately. Perhaps a medium top sear and the inletting was such that tightening the action screws deformed the receiver?
My Grayboe came with the pillars already installed. Not bedded, pillars yes.I’m jumping in with another question please. I was just informed from VUDOO that my build will hopefully start next week....YES!!! I have been patiently waiting. My question is I’m getting a greyboe stock since Manners are still 6 months out. I bed all of my guns. I assume these come un bedded. I see they sell the Vudoo stock pillars. Is that what most do? Buy the pillars and bed ourself? Thanks again for all of the wisdom/knowledge out there.
