Your PVA prefit experience

@bohem my last 6mm Osprey prefit was a 1:7.5 twist and shot great like every barrel I got from PVA.

I see you prefer the 1:7 twist and was thinking about getting 2 more barrels with the sale and going 1:7. I’m only shooting 109 Bergers.

Think switch to 1:7 good idea or stay with 1:7.5??
I like the 7 because it gives extra margin that allows cold weather, very long distance shots with solids and other high BC bullets. In warm summer weather the 7.5 does just fine, but things become spotty when you get out a ways and the DA drops near or below 0. It also shows a slight increase in BC for bullets that already shoot really well, but a slight increase in the BC of about 1.5-3% consistently shows up in doppler testing in tests that have been done by Hornady on my bullet designs, an independent lab at NMIT and data that was released by AB's mobile lab on our bullets and the 109 Hybrid being shot in Ospreys.

I've been shooting 7tw 6mm's exclusively on my personal match barrels since 2018 and I've got close to 20k rounds of various jacketed and solid bullets fired on them in that time. (Anyone doing the math will realize that I don't get to shoot that much any longer)

I know you will have exceptional performance with the 7tw, and I advocate it to anyone that's willing to listen to my opinion on the topic.

As usual, we'll make you whichever you ask for, but if it was my money being spent I would use a 7tw.

🚨 NFA language BACK IN!!! (Post #121) HPA/Short Act Update 7/1 ☎️ these 💩 and yell at them more

Cuss words are allowed here.
I tend to try to still express myself without actually using profanity.
Cursing is, or should be, considered an art form. For instance:

Joe Biden is a ball sack licking, child sniffing, whore hopping, mutha fucking, bag of shit, whose best parts dripped down his mothers chin while she was taking in it the ass from King Kong.

Or something like that. Now I return your screen to its regularly scheduled programming.

Prayer Request Thread

Prayers up for me and my wife Heather. On motorcycle I had to swerve to try to avoid tboning a minivan that pulled out in front of me to turn across traffic. Was wearing all motorcycle gear except for pants including full face helmet.

Broke right tibia and fibula. Surgery this afternoon sometime. Our names already in Houston and Layton temples.

Prayers sent and wishing you and your wife a speedy recovery. Make sure you follow your PT after surgery to the letter although it may be painful at times it is the road to a full recovery.

PVA's 2025 "Freedom From The Crown Sale"

I know Warwick was talking about releasing their own action after having large qty's of a certain well known action companies actions finished actions sitting on their floor due to not getting paid. Warwick does excellent work. Glad to see they finally are releasing an action!
That certainly factored into the decision for them to release an action with their name on it. We have been supporting that endeavor for a while, especially since the whole fiasco that Aero pulled last year with the entire industry.

Any chance there is a left hand option for these actions?

Long action and short action?
Currently RH SA only, next big step is RH LA. The small step is ARC/Grendel/PPC bolt heads for the SA's to be able to run intermediate cases.

Very cool! Is the barreled action available on your website? I tried to find and it couldn’t see it, but could’ve missed it!

I tried to look on Warwick Tactical’s website as well but didn’t see it listed. Assuming too new?

Integral 20MOA base?

And how does the QC set screw work? If it takes origin barrels I’m assuming it doesn’t just press the set screw into the barrel threads?

R700 so it fits common chassis/stocks?
The official order dates had to start on 7/1 so the product is live now. Here's the link:

  1. Integral 20 MOA base.
  2. The prototype has that stupid set screw setup on there and we can make barrels with or without set screw install. Personally I am not on board with the set screw setup and for several years we've documented numerous issues with the set screw setup with customer barrels on other actions.
    1. Don't drive set screws into the tops of barrel threads, a set screw order will have to be made specific for it and I'm advocating that the production actions do not get set screws because it will cause issues with users downstream. I may or may not win that discussion.
  3. The inlet is a 700, though it matches the Solus exactly for the straight bolt and ejection port. Regular 700 SA chassis fit the action, some traditional stocks will need touch up around the handle if the stock inlet has a swept bolt handle. Normal stuff in the "700 clone" market.
  4. Weight is 37oz WITH a Timney 511 trigger, it was 33.5 without a trigger.

Suppressors Best thread locker for muzzle devices?

I've been using Rocksett for years on many muzzle devices and have not had one come off unless I wanted it to come off. Surface prep is key.
100%! If you didn’t properly degrease and clean both the threads and the internal threads on the device then it will come off as it didn’t properly bond. Prep the surface right and it will hold.
