    How do you install a Proof Savage prefit?

    With it headspaced there isn't enough shank left to stay off the carbon. I have the big, heavy Brownells vice and I think the bushings are 3" long. A bench vice wouldn't get much bight on the Nucleus action wrench, not enough that I would be comfortable with it. Clamping the barrel just enough...

    How do you install a Proof Savage prefit?

    Hate to ask this but I don't want to ruin a new barrel. I've changed several steel savage barrels for myself and a few others. I have always put the barrel in a vice to hold it and used a receiver wrench to hold the action while torqueing the nut. From what I've read, I can't hold the barrel in...

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    Mine measured in the 4.0 range. That's why I went with the low sear.

    Nucleus Light Primer Strikes

    This is good to hear. I switched to the low sear before installing my BnA but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

    KRG Bravo/ Nucleus/ Shoulderless Barloc?

    I just got done messing with it and it is touching more than I thought. I think I'll try it with some factory ammo before I do anything else. The way the backbone is made, there isn't much metal to remove if it comes to that.

    KRG Bravo/ Nucleus/ Shoulderless Barloc?

    Just got everything torqued down in the Bravo. The Barloc collar and washer isn't touching anything. The nut is barely clearing on the bottom and left side but is touching on the right side. I'm going to remove a little material and see if I can get it to clear all the way around.

    KRG Bravo/ Nucleus/ Shoulderless Barloc?

    Just got my barloc today and installed my barrel. I may be wrong, but I dont think backing the nut off will do much other than loosening the barrel/receiver union. I did notice that the cone side of the nut has a slight flare to it making the outside diameter a little larger. I'll measure it in...

    KRG Bravo/ Nucleus/ Shoulderless Barloc?

    Is there a verdict on whether or not a Nucleus with shoulderless Barloc will work in a Bravo without removing material from the backbone? After reading through several threads, it seems the Barloc may be a little to large for this application.

    Nucleus Build Pictures

    I'm going to order the low sear with the trigger. The few nuke measurements I've seen are right around 4mm which is in the low sear range. If memory serves me correctly, the pro goes up to 2lbs 3oz. That will give me plenty of adjustment. Also, from what I've seen, you almost never get the...

    Nucleus Build Pictures

    How do you like the B n A? I'm thinking of getting a tacsport pro for mine. I like the idea of being able to change the top sear instead of filing on the cocking piece.

    Nucleus Orders

    I almost got in on the preorders but I held off. I've seen to many of them go sideways. They seem to never go as planned, just different levels of bad.

    Nucleus Orders

    I'm hoping for the same but if I have to change it, no problem. At this point I just hope it doesn't take long to get it. There are a lot of upset folks over in the hancock/barreled action thread.
