who did you send it to and how long til its done?
Here's my TL3 in a MPA chassis. Love the rifle, but I'm having issues running AW mags. Really kicked my butt at my first match I shot this past week. I can suck pretty good all on my own without the added help. Does anyone else have issues with the AW mags? Is there a fix or should I look at standard AICS mags? Intrigued by the new ARC mags coming out also.
What issue were you having?
I've only bench tested mine with an AW mag before it had a barrel(it does have the AW cut) and it worked well. Speaking of that, yours does have the AW cutout right? I put a small bolt head on mine and chanbered it in a .223 based cartridge so i wont be using Aw mags for now. Have you been able to try other AW mags, or any other mags for that matter?
Reading through the thread I've seen a few mention switching barrels with the action still in the chassis/stock. Done with the rear entry action wrench? How is it torqued down and how repeatable is it?
Just got the SR3 back from DLC, should be sending it to SAC shortly to get barreled.
Got a custom cut foam insert for the gunbox to take the .223 barrel and torque wrench with to the range so I can swap barrels for an hour of barricade practice and reset to the Dasher before heading home to really tie the operating principle home.
Nice. Curious why you chose a 22 Dasher and how you plan to use the rifle.
I have now officially waited longer on my TL3 build than my form 4 to come back from the ATF for my can...
My action was said to be received and supposed to be shipped to me Monday. Fingers crossed it gets here by the end of the week. Already have my xray, proof barrel, jewell and Gen 2 razor. Can't wait.
I built this for my 12 year old son as a birthday present. . His first time shooting a centerfire rifle. A big step up from a nerf gun.
Awesome! Do you need another son??? I would like to apply.
Action came in. Thing is freaking nice, this is my first foray into custom actions. Was looking at Defiance but the CRF, mech ejection, easy takedown and changeable bolt was to damn good to pass up. Manners T6A is on the way. Going to be a bit before I have PVA spin up a barrel and piece it all together.
Quick question for for those that have Cerakoted the action. Do you have them do the inside of the receiver? Raceways? I'm guessing it would neg effect the smoothness of the action if they hit the raceways?
I aint cerakoting these actions - DLC or leave as is. They are too pretty to cerakote
Thanks. I'm thinking about contacting Accurate Shooter once all three barrels are complete and I have solid data of consistent performance to see if they'd be interested in adding it to the guns of the week articles. Would be great advertising for the Smith who does great work and a tribute to those guys who have been shooting switch-barrels for years. Once complete I'll post a write up on this forum with photo's and what-not.
Got a custom cut foam insert for the gunbox to take the .223 barrel and torque wrench with to the range so I can swap barrels for an hour of barricade practice and reset to the Dasher before heading home to really tie the operating principle home. The other cool part of this build is the only labor I paid for was the barrel finishing. The rest of the parts were plug n' play. Cost of components + home duracoat job + barrel job = cost of build. Mind blowing the cost of AI and Cadex rifles with like capabilities for field, hot-swap barrels.

No, I do not need gauges. The shouldered barrel is headspaced and the consistent torque just keeps a zero. Brass gauges the same as far as the shoulders with the barrel on/ off/ on. Just got the Dasher barrel a few days ago and started ff'ing. When testing the .223 barrel return-to-zero with the Dahser barrel it was .2 high, .3 left the first time and .3 high, .2 left the second time. Could easily be position or grip inconsistenties on my part.
The previous pic is of my 47L in the gunbox while the Dasher barrel was getting chambered. Here is a pic with the gun and both barrels about to head to the range for more ff'ing.
I wanted to build it for coyotes and small game hunting yet no recoil makes it perfect for my son to learn on with the tripod. Pic of groups below show fireform on left 7 shots. Then (2) 3 shot groups on right. Top one by the gunsmith jon beanland and bottom was by me. Crosswind from 10-15mph poor conditions for be ch shooting. No load development just 33 gr varget and 80.5 fullbore 20 thousand off the lands. Very happy with performance of the tl3

I broke a TL3 firing pin after a lot of dryfire as well, probably 10k or so. Exact same scenario as you except it wasn't at a match. I did have a match that weekend and pirated a shroud assembly from one of my other actions for the match. They replaced the broken pin and I bought a spare shroud assembly to carry with me, so if it happens at a match in the future I can just swap them out.
I've standardized around the TL3 and don't mind having a few spare parts around. I really love my TL3/Dasher combo, it is soooo easy to be good with, I feel like it shoots itself.
I wonder if the same setup could be done with a pre-fit barrel?
