The threads. Without knowing more details it's like an AI, Barloc, switch lug, just a different mechanismWhat is the role of the set screws? Is there something else that holds the barrel in position?

Anybody else receive one/get it built and care to share their impressions?
all the customs are at the $525/$650 pricepoint so i'd be hard to think it would be moreGood stuff, if price is in line with PVA axiom prefits that will be sweet. I believe straight jacket is doing prefits as well now/soon....
Wonder how a sporter will look in my m24 manners. I could buy 2 prefits for the price of a chambered proof.
Here’s some pics and a quick video. I’ll do a full review as soon as my barrel gets here and I get some shots down range. View attachment 6928766View attachment 6928767
Any updates? Mine is at my smith being bedded and chambered now.
I've used it in about 5 matches now and it's amazing. I intend to do the full review after the AZ national match next weekend, but so far so good. Very smooth and I'm running AW mags. Took some slight bending of the feed lips outward but they run flawlessly. So nice to use AW rather than standard AICS.
Have you ever used/felt an Axiom? If so, what is your opinion between the two?
Oh and the vector is cut for AW mags and the axiom is only aics.Ahh okay. That makes sense.

Bolt lift once the firing pin is dropped appears to require quite a bit more than a one finger lift. How would you compare the lift to an AI etc? any idea?
It looked like on early versions of the Axiom at least, they were trying to save material by having their bolt knobs thread INTO the bolt handle. Have they changed that to a male threaded shank on the bolt handle that you can thread a typical aftermarket knob ONTO ?
Thanks
Male knob. Female handle?My vector bolt knob threads into handle
I remember reading (prior to them coming out) that if you didn't want to do the hand tight and set screw route, you could instead torque the barrel on as a normal action. Is this still correct with the production run models?

Very nice. What’s the stock?

No regularDo these use a mechanical ejector?
Hows reliable/consistent has the hand tight method of tightening your barrelAwesome, I think you’ll love it. Mine gets better and better. Just picked up a .308 bolt for maybe a 6bra or something snazzy
@Jmcmath have you played with an impact action, if so, how does it compare?
Hey all, finally got my video review done on the Vector. I know it’s a little long but I tried to cover a few different aspects including the return to zero repeatability for the quick barrel change.
Have you tested the resistance to POI change with impacts/forces acted upon the barrel? Be curious to see what the results would be. Shoot a control group, then subsequently test any potential POI change by giving the barrel a whack with a rubber mallet (or similar non-damaging smashing device) at 0 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock.
I know some PRS shooters who have been using quick change barrel setups have gone back to 100 ft-lb shouldered barrels because of the above. Be curious to see if the Curtis Actions are resilient to this or not.
I haven’t hit it with a rubber mallet, but I’ve definitely inadvertently hit the barrel on a few portholes, and other obstacles with no issues. I can definitely test for it if that’s something people would be interested to see.
What torque has everyone been using for the set screws?
Shit i was doing 25 in lbs15 in/lbs as shown in my video review with great repeatability![]()
