What contour is the 18" bbl, and is it a Bartlein or an ACE?
Its an 18 inch ace. The kuriki contur I know I spelt that wrong . Just like it should have been spelled instead of spelt
It should be here friday
Thing is I like 24 to 28 inch barrels. They wont build one or sell me an action. So I have a barrel action on the way
They wont sell you an action or they don't have them available? From their site, it looks like they sell actions.
They wont sell me one and don't know when the will sell actions only
I know what yall are thinking but yes I bought a barrel action for just the action
barrel sold I have another barrel action coming. No use for that barrel either
What barrel are you planning on putting on your action?
I barreled my first V-22 action that I bought last year with a Krieger sendero contour blank, finished it at 22". It's been a good shooter, but I don't have the tooling to copy the hybrid coned breech that VGW is cutting now. Having recently bought a couple of V-22 bbl'd actions for my own shooting, I've found that I really like that feature. Vudoo has programmed their CNC lathe to cut the hybrid coned breech with great repeatability, and I'm considering sending them the Krieger off that 1st V-22 to have them cut the coned breech on it. No downside to it that I can see - the two new bbl'd actions with the cone feed at least as smoothly as the original rifle, even with flatnose ammo like Eley EPS & SK Flatnose Basic. I've seen a home-made cutting tool for machining balls or making radius cuts in an article in one of the machinist magazines I used to subscribe to. It'd probably be worth it to dig out that old issue & at least consider making such a tool for the lathe - then I could copy Mike Bush's hybrid breech on the bbl's I've done for the 40Xs. But it's so much easier to just ship VGW my bbls & have them do it...
Is there a Point of Contact at Vudoo that I can ask about having this done to my flat breech v22? I reached out to info@vudoo but haven't heard back and am wondering if theres a better contact? ( may also just be because its the holiday's but i'd like to get some info on turn time and cost.
Thanks
Brian
Their ph# is listed on their website - if you don't get an answer, I guess you could assume they've taken a day or two off for the Holiday season. As hard as they've been working, I'm pretty sure they deserve a few days off...
They called me yesterday to update me on my build's progress and ask for FFL info. They should be there.
