The Fix from Q

Hi,
Kevin, may I suggest Chill Out a little....
You tagged LL in this thread then went on a "thread hunt" that has you stalking this guy in 8 different threads.
Give LL time to see, review and handle you tagging him.
Also it is probably faster for him to get on this if you click the report button instead of tagging him.
The report button he knows immediately in his control panel side of the forum that somebody has a problem; but just tagging him..he has to filter through everything to see if the tag was for good purpose, bad purpose or no purpose.
Sincerely,
Theis
Kevin,
If APA starts getting extensions I will be in line for a Fix! I live in Maine (about 1 hour from Portsmouth), it would be awesome to be able to come down and see the facility and meet the people behind the rifle. Do you or would you consider offering a rifle less the barrel (so I could get Jered to chamber a barrel for me)? Also have you or do you have any customers shooting a 6.5X47L out of the Fix, are there any feeding issues - do you think it is a viable caliber option? It seems like a match made in heaven to me.
-Thank you for your time
@Kevin Brittingham,
with mini fix in the que so to speak, any discussions on a rimfire platform also? maybe a micro fix??

I’ve been barking up that tree for a couple years now. It’d be really sweet to see an American made company give CZ and Tikka a run for the their money
APA will likely receive extensions and start performing some barrel work for The Fix.
You absolutely to come to Q for a customer build, we'd love to have you. However, we will not sell a gun without a barrel installed and test fired.
Vudoo Gun Works is blowing all other rimfires out of the water...
Thank you Kevin. I completely understand and appreciate selling as a package with a barrel and test fired.
Have you tried only handholds or have you tried some factory match? you need a control like black hills or FGMM and your handholds are the variable.
I have the tag
But I am not sure of the issue?
What am I looking at a guy asking if there is gonna be a redesign of the butt pad or stock?
This is what we have come down to, using the forum to avoid questions,
I am not sure of the history between the players, but the way this whole thing is going I am really tempted to end it

I believe KB mentioned that they may be coming out with a larger buttpad. Not a redesign, but an accessory.
Ephram M.
In the spirit of minimizing the amount of crap I have to buy, I adapted an old Remington 700 style / 308 bore guide to work in The Fix by building up the diameter of the guide with tape so that it sits snug and centered in the rear of the receiver. Works just fine.
I thought I read that I saw pics on this thread, but it could have been on one of your AR’s or one of the posters modifications with Limbsaver pad.
Thanks
Does Q/KB have a patent on their extensions? Why can't a smith just figure out the specs and fill the Fix barrel void? Aside from KB being litigious, is there anything stopping this from happening?
Offshore engineer/machinist can have the extension reverse engineered in no time.
No offense you might as well not offer them... the bartlein on your site is 650 and the proof is 975.
Proof barrel sale for 700-800 plus a couple hundred for chambering and 300 for ext and that’s 1300 barrel.
That is quite the mark up. I was expecting maybe a 100-200, but 300 is a stretch. Hopefully you start releasing barrels so we can truly use our switch barrel rifle.
We don't export guns or parts, but happy to sell them to anyone or company in US as available.
It's not our mark up that makes it that expensive. We have extension and jam nut, Q/C the barrel once we receive it, installing the extension, head spacing, and have to correct any issues with the barrel once we receive it, etc.
Some accessory barrels go up on the Q site tomorrow.
Thank you for delivering on the barrels KB.

Took my Fix out this past weekend to test out a few different factory loads. Shot some Winchester 140 grn Match, 143 ELD-X and 147 ELD-M this weekend. Seems like the 147 ELD-M's are shooting the best, I've been hovering around 1.00 MOA. It's taken a little time to get used the weight of the rifle, but things are improving each trip out. Definitely a below average shooter compared to most here, so I'm happy things are getting better.
@Kevin Brittingham
This may be heresy but will the fix accommodate large diameter barrels. Like 1”..... asking for a friend of course.

I have the same one. The part that goes into the bore doesn’t go all the way in due to where the shoulder is and it hits the extension lugs. Have to knock the shoulder back a little
Some truth to that. It’s hard for kB because he is trying to run his business and has one set of restrictions, costs, pressure, etc and then there is the customer side. I think this thread is the largest gathering of q owners that I know.
I know that the barrel section went away for a bit and come back with hb barrels but I didn’t see any fix barrels.
Yeah and they probably don't have a bunch of tech/web folks adding/removing stock. They still have a listing for sold out Bartlein barrels, which I'd say we probably know aren't coming back. I'm guessing it's a Shopify store but am not super familiar with how it manages products and listings.
If someone's hungry for a barrel today I'd at least try to give them the benefit of the doubt and wait through the day, and actively check Q's instagram because that seems to be the most likely way they notify when stuff comes in stock.
I really hoped that opening to other makers would mean the green mountain barrels would be available for sale. But earlier in the thread I think that is not happening soon 
Looks like they have all options for b/t except the 22in 6.5cm
I did reach out to KB and he did source me one that I needed (some of you will say I’m a nut hugger). Thanked me for my support and I will be a proud owner of an extra proof barrel.

I almost bought a 308 but didn’t. Too much money for what I would use it for (hunting inside 300 yards). Hopefully some other barrels come out.
I have the 22in creed on it now, but don’t really go longer than 300-400 yards

if I could get some decent advice - I have been waiting for the 8.6 blackout pistol in 12" to buy and KB said would be 2020. do I buy a 6.5 creedmoor or 308 barrel now and have it in hand to use for a switch barrel? would only want a 16" in either
8.6 with 12" would be great with my thermal for Hog hunting

I would wait. Too much up in the air. Things could change and you are tying up money
Why would you use the 16in 308 when you have 12in 8.6 creed?

My order for a 6.5 creed 20” barrel has been placed.
Hope to receive it soon. Really need Q to restock the barrel tool now!

The Fix Multitool is in stock.....
want to make sure I have a barrel to switch on a gun made to - would be reason. never claimed to be bright!!
You’d also be making an SBR if you dropped a 12” barrel onto a Fix. You’d need the Fix in pistol form to have a barrel less than 16” which is prob another $3k for that gun
