I have some 20 caliber blanks here that I bought last year but I have no plans to make 20 caliber or smaller.
The first post is updated with the link to the GB listing on the PVA website.
Here it is for everyone.

Pm price for blanks
I'm only selling them as prefits, not blanks. They took months to come in.
How about a 20 VarTarg for a CDG?
If you have a reamer you want to use I'll do it, no charge for using a customer reamer since we don't have it. I have 20-223 (20 Practical) and 204 Ruger. Let's keep this thread dedicated to the GB on 6's, I'm happy to discuss via email

Roger that
The Group Buy is Live, you can order now.
In April we got our latest contouring lathe on the floor and cutting chips.
So: All the barrels ordered yesterday before 3pm on the GB are already contoured between the two contouring machines.
It's pretty nice having the ability to keep 3 machines turning on prefits all at the same time.

Josh,
What was ever decided about muzzle diameters at a given contour length?
Ie. medium palma finished at 20", is it going to have a larger muzzle diameter than what it'd otherwise have at 26" finish?
Thanks

Yep, that was fixed a couple months back. I mentioned in the PVA Experience thread but the discussion moved on fairly quickly and I think it got buried.
I wrote a macro to account for the change in diameter as the barrels get shorter and we incorporated it back in February or early March.
Much appreciated, thank you
Got shipping notification already, that was fast!
Status Update on the GB:
As of COB Friday we have about 70-75% of the barrels shipped. The outstanding work is in one of two categories:
1) It's being cerakoted and all machine work has been completed.
2) It's a straggler caliber like 6mm UM and 6XC. For anyone curious as to the popularity of 6mm's these days: More 6 UM's were ordered (3) than 6 XC's (2). The 6 PRC had more orders than those two combined (6 of them).
If you're a die hard 6 XC fan I would suggest buying a ton of brass soon because if I'm noticing this then I am sure the brass companies are noticing it too and will be basing production decisions accordingly. The only people that I know still shooting 7mm WSM today squirreled away a few thousand pieces back in 2015... I suspect the XC is going that way too.
