Proof Research 22ARC barrel issues

@bohem are you guys seeing issues with the 22ARC or is this just a Proof issue?
We have not seen this issue yet. I'm not ruling it out entirely but so far it's not been a problem even 1 time that I'm aware of. I think this is because our material is a slightly different composition and runs about 8-9 points harder than the Proof material, plus we're running a Rifle +2 system on all the ARCs. The bigger factor here is probably the R+2 gas system but I can't say for sure at this point.

We don't make 16" barrels but I have tested R+2 16.5 and it does cycle unsuppressed. I didn't feel like subjecting my TBAC to that abuse for something I wasn't planning to make.

The 18 & 20" guns run without problems and don't seem to have this issue that I'm aware of; not in shop test barrels and nobody has reported it to me.

Rifle Scopes Steiner T6Xi 3-18x56 Review and comparison with NF ATACR 4-16x42, S&B US 3-20x50 and March 4.5-28x52

What do you dislike so much about the LHT? I keep trying to talking myself into one but cant shake the feeling that Id be unhappy, same feeling I have about the March 1.5-15.

Im also looking at the new META and it sounds like the FFP version will be around 4k. Still painful and Id be a lot more excited if it was 3k.

Id probably just buy the ATACR 4-16 now, but the rotating ocular, push button ilum, somewhat limited FOV and 30oz are a lot of little annoyances that add up for 2k. In the same vein Id just get a Mk5 3.6-18 if they would put the illuminated PR2 in it. The T6Xi 3-18 was my frontrunner but that half pound of weight is tough on a rifle Id like to keep under 10lbs.

Keeping an eye on the PX for a deal on a TT 315m or a 5-20 S&B, of course I've more then half convinced myself I don't want a tremor 3 on a small frame gas gun.

Right now the March 4.5-28 is probably my front runner but Im gonna keep sitting on my hands and see how the META shakes out.

I thought the U.S. line of S&B optics was supposed to end this year but theyre still listing a U.S. FOV for it... It still seems awfully close to perfect for my usage.
The turrets are sub par. Elev feels like a $400 scope and windage like a $200 scope. Somehow I missed that the elev was 6 mil when I ordered it, which was my fault but nevertheless I don't like it. I would have preferred 5 mil instead or better yet 10 mil.
Glass is okay at best.
Not my preferred reticle either.
Underwhelmed!

At the time it was the best I could think of in my budget considering weight and magnification range but I was also thinking of saving up for the March 4.5-28 and wish I had.

I also had a S&B 3-20x50 years ago with H59 but the MTC elev turret failed twice. They fixed it right the 2nd time around. It was a nice scope otherwise but I sold it.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Israel can't do more than start a war they will expect the USA and the USA citizens to pay for and die for.
Despite the propaganda from Israel, this isn't going to be like bombing a French built reactor in Iraq or blowing up a reactor site in Syria.
The Iranians have been preparing for this attack for a long time.
I'm sure Israel and us have been preparing for this attack for a long time.

But I wouldn't be too rejoicing about it, because our last wars in the sandbox ended so well...

I'm guessing Israel and / or us attacks Iran, then Iran has an excuse to say well they were attacked by 2 nuclear states so now we fully withdraw from all those stupid treaties (the treaties are stupid anyways no country with a brain should have signed them, Israel sure didn't) then it becomes a game of them full on working to make nukes while we keep bombing them and perhaps even try an invasion if we need a few more deaths.

Who knows how it turns out, probably in the end the mullahs will still be in charge and lots of USA treasure and blood will have been spent.
Maybe we go do the silly thing and try to invade the place (because that has worked so well recently).
Maybe the Russians and the Chinese use that for fun to give us a little payback for "helping" the Ukraine.
Who knows.

But for Russia this is great news as they can use that as the excuse to just flatten the Ukraine and if the USA wants to complain they can just point fingers at all the rubble and blowed up stuff all over Iran.

China meanwhile is probably thinking well... there is this little island we kind of want.
You don't think they are already working full on to develop nukes and have been following treaties? :p:ROFLMAO::poop:

I contacted FW Arms through his EBay account and asked if I could buy shell plates, the checkout was not working on his site. He is slow to respond but this is what I got this afternoon.

"oh wow, I was curious why there were not many orders on the site. The backend updated and I had to put in the countries I sell to. Try on the main site again as I don't offer those products on ebay.Thank you for letting me know"

I was able to order shell plates but the site would not take a CC. PP checkout only. Not sure why.

New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

I actually considered doing that with the Professional version for the NF ELR match so I could grab the entire COF to my kestrel but decided that was kinda greasy and I was gonna laser the targets anyways.

If there was a one time purchase option I would have, honestly that's probably the only feature from Pro I would use.
The one time purchase option would be to buy a Kestrel 5700 X-WEZ or the Leica Geovid AB+ Binos.

Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

I need to get the tip, but this thing was to get me through to the IP only, and you know that saga, but I was disinclined to tinker only to receive teh IP system shortly after I got it dialed.

At this point I feel like a fool for not dialing the V4 immediately, I have wasted soooooo much time waiting on the IP using inferior systems I don't want to tinker with
I hope the info I sent you will help you dial in the V4 faster.
