Nope. With a barrel nut barrel there really is no point to the Barloc, only negative things. I pulled my Barloc off and never used it again. It was the answer to a problem that doesn’t exist. At least for me.The shouldered barrels had the same dimensions for all the ARC actions?
On a Savage prefit with out a shoulder, do you even need a BARLOC or can you just headspace it with the barrel nut? BARLOC or not, what is used to keep the barrel nut in place, or is the tension with the action or BARLOC enough?

Have you shot it much? I didn't check the torque on my Barloc and barrel for 2900 rounds of practice and match shooting (I know my bad...) and it loosened up over over two years of shooting. Then in a match, I hit the barrel lightly on a barricade and the next shot was in the dirt in front of the target... After that bad stage, I checked and the Barloc allen bolt was almost completely loose.I have had a barloc nut on my Gen 1 Nuc since I built it. It gets bounced around setting in my gun rack on my atv all of the time, and I've never had a POI change happen.
Whomever says they have had a POI change using the barloc must not have installed it correctly.

Yes it was a shouldered barrel with Barloc from PVA- The barrel shot lights out.SHouldered barrel?

So that it would work like the AI barrel change. Hand tighten barrel then tightened down barloc. No barrel vise or action wrench required.Why would you even need a Barloc on a shouldered barrel?
He bought a complete rifle.Huh this is all pretty confusing. I contacted ARC on Thursday about timeframe for a Archimedes to ship if i ordered today, was told 4-6 weeks. Now you guys are talking 3-4 months? Dang......I'm tempted to just buy a Falkor 7even now.
Oh shit, yeah I'm way off base, I'm ordering Monday, so hopefully it'll be no more than the quoted lead time. Thanks for clarifying!He bought a complete rifle.
On four separate occasions.At least they communicated the longer wait time to you.

Don't cancel!!Oh shit, yeah I'm way off base, I'm ordering Monday, so hopefully it'll be no more than the quoted lead time. Thanks for clarifying!
I'm in the same boat, these are a few things waiting to be installed and some other items waiting for the rifle.So close yet so far.

This is an update regarding your order. We have recently run out of our Criterion 6.5 Creedmoor barrels, and Criterion will not be able to deliver our next order until the end of March. In the meantime, we will be receiving some 6.5 Creedmoor barrels from another supplier with slightly different specs. These barrels will be arriving around the middle of February. They are 24", 1:8 twist, and have a standard Marksman contour. So, they are 1" shorter, with a faster twist, and are slightly heavier than our Criterion barrels. Please let us know if you would like to receive one of the barrels that are arriving in February or if you prefer to wait for a Criterion barrel. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.
I wonder who's the manufacturer of these optional barrels and whether they are cut or button?I received the below email from ARC late last week regarding a delay due to supply issues. It's all good as I recently broke my wrist and in a cast for a good bit of time. This just allows me to save some more moola to buy a scope.
Marksman contour is/was a design by Hawk Hill contour. Hawk Hill makes an excellent blank, arguably better than Criterion.I wonder who's the manufacturer of these optional barrels and whether they are cut or button?
Would be nice to know.
Duuude!! That's what I'm going to do with my nuke!! Nice!So close yet so far.

That's looking to be a nice build.I'm in the same boat, these are a few things waiting to be installed and some other items waiting for the rifle.
On the ARC website, it states the 6.5 criterion barrel is 1:7.5 twist, so that is faster than the 1:8 they sent in your email. At least when I ordered my barrel/action combo is stated 1:7.5. I should have my order soon.I received the below email from ARC late last week regarding a delay due to supply issues. It's all good as I recently broke my wrist and in a cast for a good bit of time.

Podcast with Ted.
I'm listening to Modern Day Sniper Podcast | MDS Episode #0063: Ted Karagias // American Rifle Company on Podbean, check it out!
My Nucleus/Xylo build has a Brux heavy varmint contour in 6.5 creedmoor. I went with the Trigger tech Special trigger. Love it. It is a shooter. Also have the EC tuner brake.Thanks!
I'm really excited about the biuld.
There's only couple of things I may consider changing on the rifle. Maybe the trigger and swapping out the brake. But I really won't know until I get some time behind the trigger.
I'm already looking on placing an order for a 25 cal Brux barrel to chamber into a 25 Creedmoor. I wanted to have the rifle in hand to decide if I like the contour it came with, or order a different one for the 25 Creed.
How you liking that tuner?My Nucleus/Xylo build has a Brux heavy varmint contour in 6.5 creedmoor. I went with the Trigger tech Special trigger. Love it. It is a shooter. Also have the EC tuner brake.
I like the tuner. I have it on two rifles -AR10 and my Nucleus. It does tighten the groups. It also works well with factory ammo. Erik Cortina I believe is working on a version that will work with a suppressor. If you have interest, send him an email.How you liking that tuner?
Has it been beneficial when you find yourself outside the condition (temp, humidity, elevation) you developed your load in?
I'm thinking of installing one, but might end up with one that I can slap a surpressor on. Can't do that with an EC as far as I'm aware.
206-226-4387How long does it usually take to get an email reply from them? I ordered an archimedes on Nov 30th but it was about 2 weeks later when I emailed the ffl info and didn’t receive a confirmation response or anything. I emailed and asked on Friday Jan 14th early in the am if they had received my ffl info and maybe a status update on when it might ship but have not received a reply yet.
I've emailed them once - a couple weeks ago. I got a reply the same day. But who knows, it may vary depending on how busy they are.How long does it usually take to get an email reply from them?
