Join the contestWhen I said nut I meant the flat oval nuts. It made no difference for me. I’m going to return the KRG ARCA rail for a refund and try the area 419. It’s twice as thick.I switched to the middle screws on the ARCA rail. Previously had the fron 2 inches difficult to move the clamp foward with
I don't think you're suppose to use the nuts. Use the oval shaped backplate with the threaded holes. it goes in the slots on the polymer handguard. sharp end of the the hole facing down.
although i agree there's still some resistance. originally, resistance started at ~2" before the front of the Arca rail. now that i use the middle mounted holes, it's now ~1" resistance @ the front and 1" resistance at the end (magazine end). I can live with this.
worse case you can try the ArcaLock from Area 419. Someone mentioned it's thicker, so possibly less flex?
What options did you order? Do they have your FFL?Paid in full when I ordered it, #1843. Nothing yet
Hmm, wish I’d found this thread prior to placing a deposit for the JHR last month. My order number 4000 something so I might get notification sometime in 2020. Not acceptable so will write off the $250 and invest in some minor upgrades to my Tikka TAC A1...
hopefully with the new production and expanded facilities they will be moving along with the JH rifles. At least that's my hope. Like you I ordered around Thanksgiving (38xx range I think for myself) and kind of assumed it would be a few months before I see the rifle. I had hoped that it might be april or may time frame so I could use it this summer/fall and maybe go to a match or two (I don't currently have anything to use for that type of shooting), but hoping (again) that it's not as bad as the two cans I put in jail around the same time.Yep, It looks really nice so probably will just leave the order as is so if/when they contact me, I can make the decision. My Tikka is 6.5CM and dialed in pretty well so not really needing a new rifle. That said, was hoping to try out the JHR in 6CM this season. Oh well.
Order 2137 placed 2-26-18 for a RH JH 6.5cr.
No email at all so this batch may not finish out February 2018.
2076 seems to be the highest with a pay notification and some below that are still waiting..
I'm shooting a borrowed savage axis until the J.H. arrives.
What torque are you guys tightening your ARC M10 rings down to? 55in-lb?
Nucleus rail? You mean the rail to receiver mounting screws?Yes. 55 in-lbs (rings and cross bolt)
Also, just for info, I asked ARC and the nucleus rail should be 40in-lbs dry (no locktite)

Neoprene closed cell foam cheek pad how to.
I’m going to post this for those that don’t enjoy having your face be against plastic. If you want to do a closed cell neoprene cheek pad, here is how and where.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/CCNS-Rubbe...m=223034247876&_trksid=p2349624.c100930.m5375
First make a paper template.
Grab a sheet of printer paper.
Remove your cheek piece off the stock.
Cover your cheek piece with the paper, think taco.
Rub your finger on the edges to create a creased outline of the cheek piece.
Cut out the template on the outline.
Test fit your template and adjust as needed.
Once you are happy with your paper template, tape it using scotch tape to the foam side (not adhesive side) of the neoprene sheet. Use scissors to cut out the shape from the sheet of neoprene. You may also use a xacto knife for the areas that are hard to get at with scissors.
Once it’s cut out use a Dremel and sanding drum to blend in rough edges on the neoprene cheek pad.
Clean the cheek piece with rubbing alcohol to promote better adhesion, peel and stick. Stick from one side to the other making sure not to leave air bubbles under the foam. This is closed cell so air can’t escape after the fact.
This pad provides traction and comfort without soaking up sweat. When it gets dirty, just wipe with a damp rag.
God damn it I sound like a fucking salesman. ?

Just make sure you shave before use. That could hurt.You obviously don't mean 'double-sided' do you??? I know it is important to obtain a solid 'cheek weld' but...![]()

Congrats to everyone with a shipping notice. To everyone else, trust me when I say the wait will be worth it. Love mine!!!!
The link you posted is for 'double-sided' foam...But, also pictured (and linked to) is single-sided (one side sticky) foam...I assume the double-sided would be sticky on both sides...Double sided???
