I'm going to do one myself for the MC. Using the 300wm magazine. norma runs off the 338 bolt, yes.

There is little difference in action prices or stocks. Bear in mind if you decide to go macmillan/grs etc , and want a floor plate conversion, long actions are difficult to get, and horrendously expensive, you would also need bedding etc. The one I chambered the other day, is going in a long action MDT ACC. Does away with the issue. Video's showing what IS possible in Australia/USA have no relevance here. They are in much warmer, sunnier climes than we are, which has a much smaller effect on velocities [negativly ] I remember shooting my creed with 123 grain bullets at 1450 yards, and it was transonic, and going allover. My pal shooting 140's from a .260 was hitting them, but he was on the edge of transonic, or they could simply have been going through the barrier better. A mile is unattainable supersonically, in creed, so you are always going to have to have a bit of luck on your side in the UK anyway. Use enough gun. I shot my norma mag at Gardners last year, and went all the way out to a mile, no problem at all. The 2K gong, i hit, but it was again going transonic, and not reliably repeatable. Chap at the side of me, hit it a few times with a 30 nosler [which is slightly smaller than the norma] but very similar to the 300 PRC. Difference was, he had a higher BC bullet in the form of the 230 grain A-tip, where I was using the 225 ELDM. I've since bought some of the A-tips, and intend to prove the theory. 2K is at the end of the Norma's range i believe. If I was building a gun [and I may do a barrel for the AXMC ] it would be a 33XC for 2k. That would do it better, with a higher strike rate I believe. 338 bullets and a 338 bolt face. About as far as you can go, without going into much, much more expensive territory of .375/408/416 etc. Those guns are not cheap, and neither is the ammunition [ when you can get the components ]

Its know in the states as a better win mag. The win mag has no problem at a mile, I believe its 2-300 fps faster, and not belted. I'm chambering one today.

All brakes are bored .338 calibre, regardless of which model they are fitted to.

No. It looks pretty.

I would wait to hear the Official news from AI which will come, on what this will be in the uk, and what it replaces, or doesn't. America is a different country, the factory is in Portsmouth. Looking forward to seeing this personally.

This very subject was proved in court by Jackson rifles. The proof house lost, so you therefore have a legal ruling.

No. There is no requirement to proof sound moderators.

The Bifrost is an injection moulded stock. Looking at the ones I have in stock, the insides of where the stock bolts go through is hollow. That means if you mill into the stock, to accept the DBM, there would be no support there at all. Fit pillars to cure the issue ? Nothing there to bond them too. Pretty sure i've seen a pic somewhere, with one in, but how it was bodged to work, i don't know. Trouble is, you are working, and possibly weakening an area, that needs to me more rigid, not less. If you like the bifrost shape, then go for the Beserk instead. Its a nylon moulded stock, but its solid, and will accept a floor plate mod, no problem, i've done quite a few.

The thread is M24 x 1, and there are 24 increments giving 15 degrees each.

Should have been a holiday today, but agreed to see a chap with some work [ who never showed up ! ] So i thought i'd do a bit for me, for a change. Moving the thought process on from the barrel mounted brake I made earlier, which works a treat, I realised, should a customer want one, it would entail too much work, and a re-proof, when the barrel is machined. This unit is completely self contained, and doesn't alter the rifle in any way. Looking around the internet, I saw Harrel's did a tuner fitted to a brake, so that sent me scurrying for the micrometer. I wanted to fit one to my 3 port brake, as its a timed unit, and locked on. The brake was big enough to allow a thread to be machined onto its outside, for a tuner to run on. I allowed 4 full turns, though it won't need one, just to be sure. Machined up the tuner to clear the barrel nicely [it fits over the barrel ] and fitted three grub screws, to lock it in position with, once the correct mark is found. Into the dividing head on the engraver, and a lick of cerakote in the marks did the trick nicely. This is fitted to my .224 Valkyrie, which is shooting very well now with 77g TMK's. I want to use the 85 g RDF's too, but from previous experience, they are very length sensitive. I think i will be able to seat them , where I want them, not the gun, and tune them in at that desired length. Thats the theory anyway, whether it works or not, only time will tell, and the range re opens. All good fun, and made a refreshing change !

Looking at pics of the muzzle mounted ones, they are a simple idea, which requires nothing more than a muzzle thread, though I would guess, it could do with being a tad longer than normal. I'll knock up a different design when I get time.

Anything else to add ? 🤣 sock colour?

Funnily enough Matt, one of the lads had a brake on his AR15 the other day, which had a tuner built in it.

Who knows Sean. One-offs are never a problem. Coming up with a size that would fit a range of barrel profiles and what tuner thread they could accept could be a bit of a challenge. Getting them cnc machined would be the easy bit.

Only used an Auctioneer once. To sell a load of Taxidermy. They managed to "lose" the only valuable piece. A Peter Spicer mounted otter mask. Thieves.

I've been experimenting over Christmas with a couple of home made tuners. After looking at the frankly, stupid prices charged here, for the EC ones, I did some digging and came up with my own design. There is not much info out there, quite, simply, because there is not much to tell. Tuners are simply a threaded piece of tube. Not difficult to make with a lathe, dividing head, and an engraving machine. I aimed for a weight of around 4oz, but i used a finer thread than the yanks do. Made one for a new 6.5 x 47 barrel for one of my AI's, and also one for my 6XC, which i'm currently working loads up for. Had the XC up to Diggle, and shot 2 shot at progressive targets, and 3 when they touched. It quite rapidly shows you how it works. I had 3 nodes in 10 clicks, each division being 10 degrees. I was just going to shoot groups, and the trigger died. Back yesterday, and proved the theory....works beautifully. Pics later.

New stock just in, hot off the CNC man.

From memory, i think they are £125 buddy.

You should have sent that rail in with it. If you want it doing, give it Steve, he's down every week, and i'll do it with other stuff, no charge.

State a price please, as the rules state, this isn't an auction site. Thank you.

My pleasure buddy. Its a little known fact, but I do an awful lot of trade paintwork. Steve, Paddy, Callum, and Pete walker all use my paint services.
