Hey guys, let me know if anyone would like to take my spot in line for a PVA barreled action (Nucleus Right hand short action standard bolt). I may have to place my build plans on hold for a little bit. If not no worries, just letting people know in case anyone was interested!
if you paid your invoice it will be very soonWell damn I ordered a lefty and just paid my invoice last week. Guess it's not coming as soon as I thought!
Yeah, Savage and Remmy 700s have changed so much. Just kidding. No whining here but just wanted to share solid info with my fellow hide Southpaws. Next time I’ll just keep it all to myself as most millennial do.Man, more whining in here than a at a college full of entitled millennials ... do we forget what actions were out there a decade ago? glass half full folks!!
If you get a taker on this (which I suspect is likely) then no sweat. If you need to slide to the back of the list to help accomodate your build otherwise we can do that too.
I’m getting paranoid that the email to pay the balance after my deposit came and I didn’t see it... lol
Standard product offering, all the threaded barrels come with thread protectors on them. Less chance of damage in shipping and we make them in house.Not nucleus-
Just to update my prior comments
My 223 barrel arrived yesterday, thanks. Had a thread protector I won’t ever use but that’s alright, free stuff is great.
Recessed target crown on mine.Does PVA crown their barrels - I don't see that on their option drop downs?
So if PVA needs 10 weeks to chamber and LRI can do it in 4 days, is anyone switching their orders?
Hope this helps the Barloc guys. I started a new thread on the Nucleus for videos. Check it out. I was one that thought the Criterion would not fit with the Savage action and Barloc.
Both Shillen and Criterion prefits work with the full Barloc on both the Savage and Nucleus action.

Yes, very helpful videos to demonstrate how that works, thank you sir.
Would love a video of you installing the criterion pre-fit on the nucleus with the barloc and doing the headspace. Also curious why your go gauge dummy round had a bullet since headspace is off the shoulder?
Did you happen to cycle the Nucleus bolt on the Criterion and Shilen prefits?
Thanks for the post Srgt. Hulka. I’ve got a barreled action on order so I didn’t get that email.
LRI is days out.... just sayin......
Yes. Call the shop. If no answer, I have Chad’s cell number.Is that right? I sent a email a few months back and never got a response. Do they pick up the phone if you call?
One of the reasons for going with PVA was that I knew they had an initial order in and would get the first batch of actions.
... and I'm usually very good at justifying even totally unnecessary items.
The BA buyers are not being treated in the same manner as the JHR buyers. Per the update PVA has 80 actions sitting ready and waiting for engraving at ARC, for JHR buyers. The BA buyers have to wait until their action comes up in production sequence with ARC based on the order date. My order date for my BA I know would fall in with the 1st batch of JHR production, and there are actions sitting and waiting, but I will not be allocated one of these already produced actions. I'll live, but I think my deposit is just as legit as a JHR buyer. One of the reasons for going with PVA was that I knew they had an initial order in and would get the first batch of actions. It's really annoying when they could be completing orders for people they have the parts on hand to finish.

I don't think that's quite what happened. The JHR's required a minimum commitment from Josh in order to get the ball rolling to even create the Nucleus. Sounds like Josh committed to80100 actions in that JHR batch, which ARC built and is now holding, waiting for the ATF marking variance (government paperwork is a pain in the ass). The JHRs were committed months before the announcement of the Nucleus from either outfit.
ARC opened up pre-orders for the Nucleus action on Jan 16. I'm pretty certain that PVA announced Nucleus barreled actions two days later? Jeremy at PVA indicated they forwarded the PVA BA buyers list with accuracy down to the second for orders and that ARC is going to fit that list into their process. My assumption is ARC will combine those lists and move forward using a consolidated list. Again, this is an assumption based on what Jeremy's email contained.
Essentially the current outbound Nucleii from ARC are all pre-orders directly through the ARC website which were all ordered before the PVA BA opened up. The JHR's shouldn't even be considered here, those actions are built and were coordinated/purchased before the pre-orders even opened up from either ARC or PVA.
Full disclosure, I already have a nucleus in hand. I ordered directly through ARC because on day one PVA's website didn't have any indication they were involved with the Nuclues. I would have preferred to go the PVA BA route, but already had the non-refundable deposit down with ARC. Either way, I think Ted and Josh are both stand up guys and I'm happy with their collaboration. I think the roll-out/announcement could have been coordinated better to benefit both outfits, but at the same time I'm not terribly excited about huge marketing budgets and hype around products, which inevitably happens when focusing more on the optics of a product than the actual product.
I'm quite certain PVA understands your sentiment "It's really annoying when they could be completing orders for people they have the parts on hand to finish." more than you do yourself.
Folks
We're getting a number of requests for the Hancock to offer 6.5 PRC
Right now we have it available in 6.5 SAUM but have sold exactly 2 of them, one guy ordered a barrel and another guy ordered a rifle.
With the number of requests for a 6.5 short action magnum sized case counted up it's pretty much ALL 6.5 PRC's. We are considering changing the caliber offerings over to include the PRC.
Any thoughts on it?
