    Gunsmithing Multiple MPA Competition chassis have feed issues with Magpul and AI magazines

    We've had to adjust one, maybe two. It happens. MPA will make it right I'm sure. Sometimes the magazines need tweaking as well, and not just in an MPA. MPA has a video about it on Youtube as mentioned in post #7. @B.Wilker What magazine cut does your TL-3 have? The Magpul mags don't like the...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    Correct. We have a much more streamlined process currently and are ready to start assembly. UPDATE: 11/13/2018 Actions are on the way. A few invoices went out today for John Hancock rifles. We still need to nail down assembly, QC and testing but we wanted to get the ball rolling. We are...

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    @TKO Once we start assembling and getting them out the door we will have a better idea. We just hired a 24 year veteran and spent this week bringing him up to speed. He's going to be a big help around the shop. We don't want to rush things out the door but we know everyone is waiting patiently...

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    Yes, bolt lift isn't great but they do break in a little. I had one ejector break over probably 10,000-12,000 rounds, mostly practicing and matches. If you spend $10 every 2,500 rounds or so and replace the extractor and ejector parts they tend to last a little longer. And upgrade them...

    Why do people seem down on Savage rifles?

    I ran a Savage 10FP I had since '97 up until two years ago. Had no problem finishing in the top third to half at most PRS matches (when I used to practice). If you're just beginning it's not a bad rifle. You could easily throw a prefit barrel if you need to switch calibers and shoot what you...

    New 'production' rifle from PVA - J. Hancock

    ARC is supposed to be releasing the updated version of the M10 mags today (tentatively) and there will be discounts available with the Hancock for those as well as other stuff.

    New 'production' rifle from PVA - J. Hancock

    Just an update on the Hancock: We got the Samsung guys in this week to turn on the new lathe. They were scheduled to come back today but now we are getting 12" of snow. One more day with them though and it's a go! Still catching up on some other orders at the moment but that shouldn't take too...

    New 'production' rifle from PVA - J. Hancock

    Proper fundamentals when employed will certainly help spot misses but one thing I've noticed with the larger caliber AR's is that off of barricades and such it's even more important. Make sure you're square behind the rifle and driving the gun. The reciprocating action in a semi can make things...

    Patriot valley turn time

    So we should be caught up with almost anything leftover from 2017 by the end of the week. In fact a lot of stuff has been cut already it just needs engraving and polished. We have been getting in a ton of barrels from Rock Creek which was one of the few saving graces from the shop move....we are...

    Patriot valley turn time

    I've been trying to stay ahead of the game lately and even reach out to some of our customers just because of the shop move and wait times. I know what it's like to play the waiting game and sometimes a little goes a long way with keeping guys informed. I certainly can't reach out to everyone...

    Patriot valley turn time

    Hey guys, I've been helping Josh with everything full time for the last month or so and part time for a year prior. Some of you have probably gotten emails from me or even spoken to me on the phone. I'm going to be handling 95% of the comms moving forward so if you need something feel free to...

    American Rifle Company Nucleus: Time well spent!

    I really liked that bolt knob a lot at SHOT. It got a lot of great reviews as well. I guess if you're used to traditional bolt knobs it may not be your thing but for me I was able to cycle the action with one finger very quickly. The raised ends kept my finger inside so it didn't slip out. I...

    When measuring loaded ammo runout, where do you measure?

    I don't necessarily agree that using an expander plug is going to cause runout. In some instances, sure, but no in mine. I do things a little differently. I don't neck turn so for me the expander plug is the last thing that touches the inside of the neck of the case. I use Whidden dies and they...
