Thanks Creature. I tinkered with the firing springs and pins from the other two bolts. No combination does any more than a light strike.

I have literally fired every conceivable variation of the SRS/Covert platform. 16" through 28" barrels in both platforms, yes I shot a 16" 308 through an SRS handguard, I don't suggest it, LOL. I have also shot the 26" barrels out of the covert and the covert happens to be my preferred platform with a 7wsm barrel for hunting.
basically, my point is, there is no degradation in accuracy and the balance point of the covert is still behind the bipod with a 26" barrel and suppressor mounted.
Hey Dealers!!!-----does anybody have an Aluminum Replacement Buttpad Mount in stock??
I ordered one from DTA on April 5 and Madison (great sales girl at DTA) said that I would be lucky to see shipment within 3-4 weeks, as of today. So this could going on for awhile. I realize there is a "shortage" of everything gun related these days, but when you need parts to get your gun running right, it's FRUSTRATING!!
Thanks to anyone that might have one in stock.

Just got a call from EuroOptic today that they are starting to get some new material fom DTA-no new chassies yet, but they're beginning to role in! Yahoo
Help! I have a Gen I SRS with three conversions. Two work perfectly, but with my 7wsm setup I am getting 100% light primer strikes with no ignition. My question is can someone tell me what the firing pin length is supposed to be in the .300 win bolt? Are the firing pins all the same length and interchangeable? I disassembled all three bolts, and measured each firing pin and came up with three different lengths, so I would guess that each one is supposed to be different. Or is the difference in lengths my problem? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I've been planning a short 18-19" .338LM as a second barrel for my SRS to complement my standard 26" for a number of reasons. However, based on my recent experience at this match, I'm rethinking the idea and instead considering cutting down my 26" to be the short barrel and having a new 32" 1:9 built as my ELR barrel for shooting 300s. So my question is about the short barrel: as long as I'm still shooting 250s and 285s, the standard 1:10 should suffice in a short barrel, right?
Now to get another Gen1 barrel extension and brake - hopefully those aren't back ordered too!
We likely have a few models coming out in the future.
SP 4007, 0 moa mount that is 1,535" high and there is a load of them ordered by Mile High and soon on the way.
SP 4004 0moa and SP4804 (
13mil/44.4moa that is both 48mm high (1,89")
But the two laters are months away.

Hakan,
What is the correct mount for the US optics SN25 5x25x56 on the DTA srs a1 rifle? Thnx.
Mine fits perfect with the DTA 30 MOA. Lots of people thought I would have to modify the rear ring, but it was not needed. I run the 2" sunshade, and it just barley clears.

+1 I'm so ready for my A1 Covert I can't stand it.Finally! Can't wait to get my new A1!
Cool, I ordered a 32" 338 blank for myself a couple weeks ago. I think I went 1-9.5", but I think 1-10 will be fine in any length for a 300 grain.
My 300 load with my 26" was 2730 fps with 89.9 grains of H1000. I'm gonna run the same load and see what my gains will be. If its not at least 2800, I'm gonna cut it down to 26". I went with a heavy palma......its gonna be a heavy bastard at 32".......
Let me know what you end up with on all barrel lengths. We should have mine machined in 2-4 weeks. I will keep you updated as well.

FWIW - a NF 3-15x50 F1 (or 5.5-22x50) with the sunshade attached will be close enough to the muzzle on a Covert (16" barrel) to get flash marks on the underside. It mostly rubs right off, but if that will bother you, remove the sunshade and it will be GTG. As I recall, the Beast is a tick longer than either of those scopes, but it ought to be ok with the sunshade off. Below is a pic with the 5.5-22 mounted (sunshade is off). It has an 18" SAC barrel installed, but was fine with the 16" also.

If i get a Spuhr mount with a 34mm tube, how will my check weld be on the DTA, to low?
Also some pictures of a Spuhr mount on a DTA would be great! especially if anyone has their cantilevel,
Thanks
