I was able to get a a2 bolt and it is smoother that the a1. I am looking at the covert for my next rifle.
Suspect service. But is that velocity with the can on. I presume?
Most likely its a primer issue. I've had 3 light strikes in the 3500 rounds (handloads) I have shot last year. All I did was unlock then lock the bolt and fire it again. That has yet to fail me. However on 2 of the light stikes, I'm certain the bolt wasn't fully locked, which mat have been the issue.
Check firing pin protrusion if you have the tools. But I guarantee it's a primer issue. All the same lot? If so contact Hornady to inform them of a potential defect in primers for that lot.
What is the round count on that specific bolt? Have you made any modifications to the trigger group? This can cause light stakes as well.
A few months ago I had two light strikes, temperature was around 30 degrees. Both fired on the second try. Once at home I stripped the bolt down and cleaned the firing pin and the the area where the firing pin goes of any oil. Since doing that no other light strikes.Anyone have any issues with light strikes? I've had 3 this week. 2 in one day, during a match shooting Hornady 6.5cm 147 ELD Match. No we else had light strikes using the same ammo. I've only ever shot Prime 338 match ammo last year with no issue. Unsure if it's a warranty issue, or a disassemble the bolt and clean issue.
Finished an Advanced Precision Rifle week at Gunsite and then participated in my first ever LRPR match in Phoenix. Definitely a learning experience. Will be attending more around North Carolina. One stage I got a perfect score with a 3moa 5 shot group at 500y. I've never shot quarter moa at 100y before and was told this would be equivalent to shooting the same hole at 100. The rifle seems to exceed the accuracy that I'm currently capable of.
Suspect service? Yes, it was with a can on. The actual labradar average was 2537, shooting at a 300y acoustic target which clocked at 2200fps average at 300 yards.
I just realized I have 7 barrels for my Desert Tech, and really only shoot 2 of them with any regularity. Anyone else go a little overboard on buying barrels?
Any chance you want to sell a 308?Haha, nice. I count 8, and assume #9 is in your chassis.

[ First pick i noticed 6.5 saum was in the srs chassis, so I removed that and took another pic. I do have a hti barrel not in that pic though. Still need a scope mount for that hti and she’s ready. Been slowly working on that a piece here and there when I can.I’ve been spending most of my extra time working on my new reloading room , haven’t been shooting as much as i used too.
Sac 223rem is a fun conversion ?Found out today my 223 is on its way. ?
I have the same issue, may need to sand a bit of the skins backDoes anyone have a problem with their SRS A2 not dropping Short Action mags? My A1 drops them just fine, but my A2 will not. You have to put the gun down and use both hands to pull the mag out. I even sent it back to Desert Tech and they purported to fix it, but I just got it back today and the problem seems worse!
Thanks.

Good idea. I have that issue and just been dealing. How thick of a washer and which screws?I had that issue with my A1. I simply took a very small washer and put it between the skin and the chassis, then put the bolt through it and tightened it down. It provided just enough space for the mag to drop freely.
I can take a picture if you need me to.
Thanks- it needs to make it into the field more often though!!
Pinhead, this is an extremely helpful post, and indicative of how great this site is. Also, love the camo pattern. I keep putting off doing some artwork on mine.
NIce, thanks for the pics.Picture says 1000 words.
The washer you use could fluctuate but this is what works for me. It’s about as thin of a washer as I could find.
Nice bolt knob. I tend to cerakote mine color coded by bolt face size.Hey guys, do you know where I can get after-market bolt knobs for my SRS? Something like this:
Thanks. I’d definitely check it out.Here's my bolt knob. If you're interested, I
probably still have the email receipt when I ordered it.

Thanks! I'm calling them on MondayI bought my bolt knobs (three, one for each bolt) from Phoenix Custom Rifles a few years ago. They each have a different number of grooves (1, 2 and 3) to make them easy to tell apart.
tjgolf when you talk to them please let the rest of us know what they say.
Mark Gordon at SAC did it. Custom Bartlein blank. I leave it in his capable hands!Wow, you even cerakoted the whole barrel. I've had a number of customers who've brought barrels in to have the clamping surface blasted clean because some gumby painter did the whole barrel. With a tolerance spec of -.001" +.000 I'd say its a bad idea to paint the clamped surface. Amazing how tight the barrels get in some of these receivers.
