Current APA status 8/24/11

[Jered Joplin]

Well I'm headed out to Africa in the early AM.
Orders will still be taken while I'm out of the country. Just call the shop and leave a message with Darlene 706-367-8881. Someone will contact you shortly.
I will be back Sept. the 27th with some new goodies.........

In the meantime I will make every attempt to post at least one photo a day from my trip to Africa. You can check it out on our Facebook page (Facebook link) or here in the hunting section.
Hunting section

All coms will be via Satellite and spotty at best. I won't be able to respond to PM's or questions on the hunting post. There will be plenty of time when I return.

Thanks for all your support and I look forward to the lengthy discussions when I return.

Thanks
Jered

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Those are some very cool pictures. You must have an excellent photographer along.

The rifle with the mannlicher stock and custom mounts is beautiful-

I've been into photography since high school as a hobby.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Just to give you guys an update after Africa on lead times. We are running 6 months on builds that require us to order all the parts, 90 days on builds where customer supplies parts, thread jobs etc. under 30.

Thanks for all the business and support we've received lately. It's greatly appreciated.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

It was good to see you guys as well. I wish I got to see the Show a little but it is what it is I guess.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

May I ask who does your color case hardening?

 

[Jered Joplin]

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

We tested our Micro Bastard brake today on a 7mm Mag that weighed in at 6 pounds. The results absolutely blew us away. You guys are going to love this baby!

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

I was actually one of the guys that got to shoot the MB brake and it was IMPRESSIVE... and very small!! Well done APA!

 

[kineticmedic]

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Just had Jered put the Little Jimmy brake on my LTR along with some other work, including his bottom metal, all I can say is wow! LOVE the brake!

As much as i like the tactical/camo scene. When it comes down to a custom gun, this is where its at. Not knocking anyone, but a tactical gun, can be put togeather by anyone and painted over. They are Custom, when the details show and have to be perfect.And a Mannlicher in a nice walnut is the best. awsome work from the pics, are you guys doing the checkering and case coloring as well. Ill have to give a call.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that we would be having a price increas e effective in 60 days on some of our parts. I don't have all of the numbers together yet but we are creating a new pricing structure. We will honor all current pricing whether we have the item in stock currently or not. However
If the item is not in stock you will have to be on the waiting list to receive the old pricing when it's ready. The rings will be released at the promised price but we have a big waiting liste so I would recommend you drop me an email if you want to be added because I doubt the first 250 set we have in the works are going to last that long. We have some out for anodizing now and more running on the machines.
If you need to drop me an email please do so at [email protected]

I apologize for my hermit like lifestyle as of late but we have been running wide open for months now. I have hardly had time to get on here at all. Yet we have still had outstanding support from this community and I'm very greatfull to you all.

Well worth the wait and a few extra dollars

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Properly prepared, a pretty stick of wood, produced by God, and crafted by man, equals or beats synthetic except in extreme environments for long periods.

Also, I admired that tactical rig of Jered's at a match and I can't stop thinking about it. Its probably like crack for a cold turkey addict.

 

[Jered Joplin]

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

They have a tendency to do that. It didn't look so cool after the match though. I spent some time in the stock room with it. Looking much better now...

 

[Jered Joplin]

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

If we get some of the latches finished up this weekend we should have some of the .950 high 34mm rings that should be ready to ship next week. The 1.031 34's are in the machine now.

 

[Charlie Papa]

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Kick ass, man. Keep up the good work! BTW, I believe two of your rifles finished in the top 3 at K&M today.

 

[Jered Joplin]

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Awesome! Who was shooting them. I've had head in arse syndrome lately. We are so busy with the rifles and parts that I've barely had time to breathe.

It was myself and .257 (Joe) in 2nd and 3rd place respectively. My load and dope is pretty much spot-on, but I've got to talk to you about this group:

What's with that 5th shot at 9 o'clock WAY outside the others? .371 MOA at 500? Really? Ha ha, I'm pretty confident I've found an acceptable load.

I'll give you a call tomorrow or tues, might need some rings. Thanks for keeping the good stuff coming!

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

I'm glad it's working out for you. We are out to look at a new machine tomorrow to keep up with production so we'll have plenty more when you are ready!

Just received my barreled action from Jared. Couldn't be happier. Range report to come on Monday.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Gave a 5 star rating to a 5 star company!


Thanks APA!

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Thanks Kieth! You must have liked the goodies.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Scott McCree snapped a few photos of us at ASC so I thought I would share.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

How did you do?

 

[CANAVAR]

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Jered, nice pics

 

[Jered Joplin]

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Pete Pi took first, I took second, George took 3rd, and I think Jason Bayney took 4th.
The trophy was given to the person having "the most fun" so that aspect was a little different.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Here is one of Chad's little creations. It's a lighter German lectern theme. It may look like just a lot of little squiggles but that's a lot of time. No to mention there was ton of extra doodads such as lasers lights, optics and another upper that aren't shown.

 

[Jered Joplin]

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

We have a couple of rifles that will be for sale shortly. Two APR's (different colors) and a 3rd one with an A5 stock (APR basic package and color except with an A5 stock. There are a few others in the works but they aren't ready just yet. Two 338 Lapua's

 

[ghostdog]

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Quick question. I saw in a magazine that you have a Paragon rifle that has a 1/4 MOA guarantee. I don't see anything on the website on pricing or other details. Is there somewhere I can get some info? Thanks.

 

[Jered Joplin]

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Funny that you mentioned that. I haven't released it yet. It's going to Harris for a review. That was supposed to be it's debut. I didn't think the other deal was going to hit the stands before the Harris deal was done. Here is a better photo with some specs.

This is shown with an optional suppressor. The standard model will be 22" w/o a suppressor. The photo is also missing the UNS mount that will be standard.

Offered in 223 Rem & 308 Win
APA Genesis action
30 MOA APA rail
Manners TF1 stock
Broughton #6 5C barrel 22"
Huber trigger @ 2.5 lb.
APA RTG trigger guard with AW mag
Iron Brigade UNS mount
2 Flush cup sling mounts on the left hand side
1 APA TAC stud in front for the bi pod. Atlas Hardware is optional.


Those will be the standard specs. The price has not been finalized yet. We have been so busy there has been much time to breathe. That's why I've been somewhat absent from the boards as of late.

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

Thanks for the pic. Very nice looking gun. Gonna have to put that on the wish list as soon as I take delivery of my newest build.

 

[Jered Joplin]

Re: Current APA status 8/24/11

I have a some parts on order for a few of them on order. Some are already spoken for due to this post. I really was hoping for a delay on that but I guess the cats out of the bag now.
