Aero Precision Bolt Gun Teaser (Now newly announced SABR thread)

Oh I agree, the first time I used one to cut threads I was like this is awesome.
I love cutting threads on it!
So easy Isometimes.
I know someone who at 14 thou had instant case head separations.
They set headspace without engaging the extractor with the go gauge doing a remage swap.
Case head separation at .014"? Sounds fishy. Gas guns routinely grow brass on the first firing over .014" with in spec chambers.
Peterson 300 norma brass is roughly .016 short of a go gauge. They seem to survive the first firing just fine. Not ideal but no kaboom.Okay. And that's worst case scenario. But I would say Dasher brass grows at least that much during fireforming
I guess you didn't answer because we all know you just wouldn't be able to chamber a round.
In all those barrels, and more. I've literally never had a case head separation. The only set a gauges I ever bought was for my first barrel. It was an LRI barreled action. I'd already shot it. I wanted to remove the barrel so I could polish the fees ramp a little. When I reinstalled he barrel it failed the No Go.I took it to a local smith and had him "fix" it. The closest I've come to a case head separation is shooting some range pick up blaster 223. I looked down to pick up some brass and saw one had separated about 50%
Factory new brass is almost always smaller than SAAMI spec, if you set your chamber with a factory cartridge or brass you will most likely have a undersized headspace.
Ya, really unfortunate. I talked to them about it more than once since they were the first to make the brass after Norma. All they say is its “ in spec”. Thank you baby jesus for Lapua.
Scotch Tape is .002", factory brass is almost always smaller than that. For example, I have two lots of 6.5G Hornady brass that is .010" smaller than a Go gage. Peterson 6CM brass I bought was .005" under.
Then electrical tape or whatever tape gets you there. Ive done it using a hornady modified case, it works. Crude but works.
I'm a proponent of shouldered prefits and an anti-gauger. But really, you can red loctite a barrel nut. But not everyone wants to be limited by a barrel nut for contours or have ugly barrel nut. If they can keep their actions with as good or better tolerances than a tikka. They've got a serious competitor in the budget action world. Maybe even beyond that.
After one check by a competent smith every action is GTG for pre fits
As for barrel nut prefits I can call NSS and it’s at my door in less than a week for $400.
Right, because you'll know to stack up random tape without the Go gage. I don't care what you do, and I've set HS on cases, but if you are swapping barrels regularly you're in for inconsistent HS.
I dont own go/no guages. I dont swap barrels regularly. Ive Installed several. All I need is Calipers, headspace guage, case, random tapes. Its not rocket surgery.
If both bergara and tikka can pull it off prefits, I'm sure aero could do just fine keeping costs down. With their involvement in this thread I'm sure they've seen the interest (and maybe the value?). Just think of how the marketing could look! Those arfcom boys would have their socks blown off by the tolerances.
Aero surely won't loose customers because of it...

I did. On the use of go no go gauges, there are differences of opinion. That almost never happens on the hide…
....pretty sure Aero already stated the direction they are planning to proceed on.
...and why...
...and why...
Dont worry, they certainly can be convinced by the handful of people telling everyone else to buy an entirely completely different product, as a reason to change their entire model launch.
Clearly nobody at Aero Precision is more educated than these folks, and they must have not done any market research before coming up with this at all. I bet they just closed their eyes and pointed at a random thing on a wall and decided to build it.
/s
....I wouldn't be surprised if they offered both eventually, same as they did with the AR15/M4E1 receivers, threaded and enhanced versions.
You bring up a really great point about convenience and function I really appreciate your feedback there.
I bought a havak. Now I’m on my third because the first two were replaced by seekins, mostly because they sucked. So it ain’t that hard to “see how they could be better” than some odd ball 4 lug seekins that doesn’t have an integral rail (my seekins rail needed bedding because it didn’t fit the action worth a shit either). I gave up and had TS customs chamber a bartlein for my current Havak. I will say that new bolt is a giant upgrade IMO.
Don’t understand everyone being so quick to poopoo an action that is slated to be at a much better price point that similarly spec’d actions currently available.

My best guess is that they had to make that recessed bolt face cut to enable the bolt stop to work in the confines of the action.
Another thing to note on another photo from 8541 is that it has dual cocking cams. Barely visible, but it is there.
Looking forward to the final product @Areo!

I am as well
It’s nothing that I need but it looks like a decent option.
And it’s a PNW company making jobs.
Post #244 from Aero Precision: “We wont have left hand actions to start but we are looking into offering them afterwards.”
This is the gun industry we’re talking about, which means two weeks is code for two years.
And if they specifically mention a quarter in any future year it means it's never going to be released.
I always told my kids “soon” when I meant it was going to be until they forgot about it and moved on to something else.
Dude, first we were up in arms they'd even try to make an action. Now we're up in arms the action it is late. We're totally not going to buy it, and they're a terrible company for making it, but it's unconscionable they're taking so long.
That's where you got out of line and had to be straightened out by the long arm of the.....
If checking to see if there are any updates a month an a half after announcement counts as being up in arms.... Well I'm guilty as charged.
So on
So on a podcast, I believe with Tyler from Max Ordinate last year, the owner of (edit) Falkor was on to talk about their action. He said they were making it to the same headspace as impact, which he said was also the same as lone peak, that’s where I got that from.
