I can now confirm over 300 dollars later they do run great in a TL3 LOL.

I’m in a similar boat. Wanting to use TL3 LA barrels (same dimensions as original) on a TL3 SA action.

Just about any machine shop should be able to help. But I ended up picking up a few of these and they’re promising:

McMaster-Carr

McMaster-Carr is the complete source for your plant with over 595,000 products. 98% of products ordered ship from stock and deliver same or next day.

www.mcmaster.com

They’re all just ever so slightly thicker than 0.1”, which is good. I just need to take them to a flat stone a little bit and then trim down the outer diameter by putting it in the drill press or maybe router.

A local machine shop is definitely the better route though.

I dont have access to a surface grinder right now. So I made 2 on the lathe at work and then had a local shop grind them. I gave them a tolerance of +-.00025 and they are all over that. I made them out of 416 stainless and they blend into the barrel perfect.

and now financially committed.

The above is the correct answer, but you should check with Hawkins to see if they offer a shorter mag catch release. MDT and KRG both sent me the part I needed just for asking. Both were short actions. I too don't know if the same applies to long actions.

A couple stainless guns I've "restored". The first is a 629 no dash that was extremely misrepresented on Gunbroker by one of the larger sellers. It had been shot loose and suffered a timing issue as well. I also managed to apparently miss a lot of the scratches on it. My fault. It has since turned into one of my favorite revolvers and I shoot it a lot... but I keep away from full house magnums in this one. Replaced the cylinder stop and hand with sourced parts off of GB, and added both cylinder and yoke endshake bearings from Power Custom. Did the 2000 grit sandpaper, followed by a light touching up of Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish by hand. Added the smooth targets because I'm a sucker for those.

Have a 686-6 that I almost wish I hadn't bought. I hate the internal lock. Anyway, this was my test revolver in seeing how light and smooth I could get one while still having a serviceable revolver. I had at one point a Wilson Combat mainspring, but consistent ignition was gone, so I went back to the factory one.

The barrel is overclocked from the factory, and there's nothing that my limited skills can do about that. However, it shoots so well that you'd almost ignore that part. I put hours of hand polishing into this one ... and then learned that the moment you touch it you leave fingerprints everywhere. Not doing that again. I also added the early thumb piece as I hate the modern slanted ones. It is wearing Culina grips. This one is essentially a safe queen, or I let the wife shoot it.

Sorry, I thought I had more examples right off the bat. I'll have to photograph a few more revolvers in a little bit.

That is a bad ass setup. Their air and sea sections are excellent.

Pro Tip: Make sure you reserve a pretty sizeable block of your time just to tour the Alabama. She's big AF and if they have all the sections open, it will take a while.

I’m looking to get into thermal for clip on use and I’ve been eyeballing this one. May be a stupid question so forgive my ignorance.
Can you have multiple collimation settings in this unit if you were using on more than one rifle? So when you switch onto a different rifle you’ve already got the saved collimation setting for both? I understand you’d still be susceptible to POI shift just from removal and reinstall alone and want to verify zero regardless but seems like that’d be a nice feature and save some time when using a good ADM mount and more than one rifle. I didn’t see this info on the website or the couple videos I saw.

By a CDG from Ted (says ships in a week) then either;

1. Get a barrel that’s in stock from Bugholes and send it to Chase Fisher @FisherT&C to be spun. He’s very fast and does exceptional work. Then spin it on and stick a trigger on it.

2. Get a barrel Osprey barrel from Josh at Patriot Vally Arms and have him spin it. He also does beautiful work and for a premium over standard price they will do very fast turn around. Spin it on and stick a trigger in it.

Can’t remember Josh tag…anybody?

These CDGs have gone up in price since I got one in the early release. Damn. Anyone else selling these for less as part of a package deal?

He may get a surprise. His rent boys are paid to tell him what he wants to hear. Many young people are angry about how they have been set up to fail.

Nice video, good work. I use a APA Fat Bastard. Takes a bit of tuning but when you get it adjusted properly it seems to mitigate a lot of that.

This isn't a response to the above, but my membership level disallows me to post directly. I'm not aware of another way to address this group without starting another thread that may not be noticed.

I've been watching from the sidelines, intensely interested in rimfire precision but heretofore unable to play for various reasons. I bought a Terry Cross stock from Paul Parrott in 2019, talked with him about a build mimicking Mr. Cross's Sentinel S.W.S. rifle and using his bottom metal. I was poised to jump into the Vudoo pool when the pandemic and other stuff hit. Now, I'm thinking about reentering and having built what's likely to be the last rifle of my life.

Aside from the entertaining Peyton Place aspects of the thread, the mechanical design discussion has been fascinating. I'm a retired physician, so numbers don't scare me, but Mr. Bush's and others' detailed analyses are fascinating. You're covering things I've never needed to think about before--never knew such questions occur.

So...let me drop an ignoramus's thought here: I like shooting a lot. As Jeff Cooper said, trenchantly, "the purpose of shooting is hitting." That's why all this business is going on: Folks here want to hit targets that are, for their ballistical milieu, tiny and far away. That's what I want to do. What I don't want to do, and what I'm not equipped to do by situation and by inclination, is to fiddle with my rifle. Yes, of course, I clean my guns. Yes, of course, I've learned to disassemble them to a reasonable extent and do kitchen table parts exchanges. But at the bottom line, I want to set it and forget it.

What I want from an M5/M5x, is a finished package. I'm willing and happy to pay for lot testing, because unless one includes a barrel tuner in their setup (thus tuning rifle to whatever ammunition they can get into the magazine), that's the only way to find what'll work. But I don't want to jigger with the magazine catch, the follower, or anything else. Within the limits Mr. Bush sets for workable ammunition, I want everything to go, first pop out of the shipping box. I want nothing to be adjustable, because with this action mated to an approved barrel with an approved chamber and approved bottom metal, the magazines, the mag latch, nothing should need tuning. Mr. Bush hasn't said that outright, but clearly that what he thinks is proper product and production design.

Maybe I'm being impertinent. Maybe I'm butting in where I don't belong. But maybe what I said ought to be said.

Anyway, thanks for your time.

Preach it brother!!

Im looking for the EVG grip and the 5x5 precision grip for the matrix pro. I am also looking for weights. Mainly looking for the internals and some of the XL weights but let me know what u have. I also need a mag blocker or maybe the gray ops version of it and i also need 2 of the MPA speed nuts. Scammers don't waist your time.
