pm me a rough location and price for no 5 please

Very new to this reloading thingy (appologies in advance for asking stupid questions ), but what about 147's(or heavier)   would it react the same way as the 185 head in 308 over long range (1000- 1200 ) ?

Indeed , if you look at import rifle that has to go to proof and is threaded the sneaky gits stamp it just below the thread .

Cant blame them can you  after all they have stamped it safe they dont want some 'cowboy' machining it afterwards ..

surely no one would do it without re proof as this protects the gunsmith  ?

where ?

i enquired and they wanted it re proofed cheaper to buy another gun

which model please

You think for one minute any FEO would say it was ok?

of course not but deff not in writing ..

Why not ring your FEO, tell them this and ask if that's ok?  If you aren't prepared to ask them and divulge what you want to do, then you have probably answered your own question about whether it is acceptable or not.

yes but try getting the answer in writting if he says its ok ?

last go

PRICE ?

what weight barrel ? or diameter and length please

Slightly off topic, but the Impact Precision 737R actions are all made to such exact specs that all  barrels chambered and threaded for them are done using CNC machines and never need to be headspaced for each individual action.

Simply buy a barrel off their shelf and screw it on your action. 

Interestingly I’ve heard from a couple of gunsmiths, who CNC chamber barrels for the Impact actions, say that they cannot do the same procedure for other custom actions, including Defiance, as the tolerances simply aren’t identical action to action, like the Impact’s are.

The above is one of many reasons why they’re the preferred action used in the PRS league as those guys go through 3-4 barrels a season.

CNC machining wont make all the actions identical ,unless of course there is no tool wear i suppose ?  Although the batch numbers would be low enough to make variations mimimal maybe .. Interested to know what the acceptable tolerance would be for them ..

Why did he need the rifle, couldnt he just do a barrel? After all, AI dont send a full rifle to the proof house every time they get a barrel done. I thought proof house had some sort of action there specifically for AI barrels?

I wouldnt want a barrel made to fit any gun i wanted it to fit mine , as said above really theres a lot of tolerances that could affect the fit and performance , this way that barrel fits and works with that gun . The only problem now is learning to use it all properly . I am currently the weakest link . 🤔

Having bought the AI 308 I decided to add a 6.5 barrel to it so on 10^th May I dropped it off to Dave at Valkyrie Rifles for the job (after all he is the UK only service agent plus I had spent time at the Birmingham show talking about it) .Got a text on 14^th May saying it was off to proof, ready to collect by 31^st May. Couldn’t get to pick it up till 11^th June (it’s a fair way to Rotherham from Essex.

Finally shot it on Saturday at Bisley, zero at 100 yards then 10 rounds at 500 in the afternoon it was V Bull 6 out of ten and just on the line for the rest .With the S&B ammo . Early next month its 800 and 1000 so it’s more of a test plus it will be wearing its moderator. Loving it .But the problem am I looked at a straight pull AR and well its already on next year’s ‘only need another 2 guns list’.

Thanks Dave

Be good to see some AR pics please

DPT are good ive had a few now easy to add different baffles if you want to quiten it down  . pm me if you need help tracking them down

I do use them and they are very good.....but a couple of gripes: why use torx bolts - much prefer allen bolts but mainly the accessory rails cost a fortune and you have to be careful when mounting the accessory rails on top of the rings that the screws are short enough not to contact the scope body. I measured and had to shorten mine.

Del......have fun setting up the rifle and shooting it.

 

Should be playing with a 75 really ...

Just bought my AI back home from Dave Valkyrie ( spare 6.5 barrel) and the Spuhr mount and IOR is going on tonight ....

They are a lovely piece of kit .

Absolutely stunning Andy.

Well thought out, such as the bolt on rails to attach either a rangefinder or red dot for fast acquisition etc.

I'm just chewing over whether to sell my own swaro to fund one.

 

Well do you want an invoice for what you should have paid ???
