@White Mamba who you get the barrels from?
Just screwing on your extension and setting headspace on rifle I assume?

great example right hereAnyone have their FIx cerakoted? I can remember one, maybe two throughout this thread. Any others? Post up some pictures if you have.

Q doesn’t cerakote anything. That’s just the color of the hard anodizing.
Not a big fan of q as a company. The honey badger was their original claim to fame and it was a poor prototype of the sig rattler made famous by call of duty. Everything they sell is overpriced and you can build a 6.5 on a defiance action in whatever stock or chassis you want with a bartlein barrel for the same price.
Maybe not your bag, but the market doesn't think their prices are too high. People like innovation, putative or not, and they're willing to pay and backorder at Q's prices.
Options are nice though; hard to argue with all the good stuff available.
What is innovative about the fix? It seems like a chassis bolt gun. The owner worked for sig and ripped them off.
Hey, friend. Read by message--"putative or not." I'm not a q apologist. I'm just taking issue with your original statement broadly applied on a basic economics basis. You can dump on the fix, but it's still a pretty neat gun with unique design elements that differ from other bolt chassis offering--firing mechanism, bolt throw, etc.

Didn't KB make the original Honey Badger at AAC long before the Sig Rattler? Or is there a much longer history to the Rattler I've not heard?Not a big fan of q as a company.

I think people don't really understand the timeline for things and that most of the Q team worked for sig for a while so they think that they are just ripping off SIG when in fact they were the ones that designed the products while at SIG....Plus it's just fun to hate on Q still.I ordered my fix three years ago, can you even get a sig yet? It has come out that one of Q's engineers went to Sig and took his persoanl fix with him over there. So who ripped off who?

What cartridge are you chambering it for?Looks like my mini Fix is getting a new tube
Nice. I was contemplating a 6x6.8 for a while, now looking at 6ARC a bit. The .224 is fun but not enough lead for mule deer I’m afraid6.8spc
I use the sling mount with a proof carbon, just check the screws while you're installing. If they are too long shave them down a bit with a file. Mine did not have any issues.Who has tried a 16" or 18" proof cf 6.5 barrel and was the juice worth the squeeze? The 22" is lights out accurate but there's not denying it handled better with the pencil 308 other than recoil.
With the CF barrel the sling mount can't be used on the rail because of the barrel od correct?
I hope they checked the muffler bearing while it was in.It’s back and I’m finally in town long enough to get it out tomorrow. I’ll post the results when I’m done. Something about a pinch spacer? I don’t know what that does, but apparently if you get a bad one the rifle doesn’t like it. Time will tell.
PurrrrrrrfeeeeeectttttttttttYup, they hit with the contact spray and re-torqued to spec.. She’s good for another 30 thousand now.
Possibly with their barrel/handguard/clamp interface maybe?Something about a pinch spacer?
Well... Sig must think the design is good enough to put out a copy (even if it's quite a bit cheaper). I wonder if the economy of scale makes it easier for Sig to produce.Not a big fan of q as a company.

Q got famous for the honey badger. The rattler is a significantly better system than the honey badger. I owned a noveske n4pdw which is essentially a honey badger and Uses the same flimsy stock and it was a piece of junk compared to the rattler I sold it to buy. The fix is a cool looking rifle but doesn’t do anything special I don’t see how the price tag is justifiable for what you are actually getting.Well...

Just needed its nuts pinched and spaced correctly, hey I know what it's like!
Wow, your timeline is laughably off. AAC was doing the HoneyBadger before Sig ever considered doing the Rattler. This is public knowledge.Not a big fan of q as a company.

Just got mine in and installed, much much better!The Fix extended bolt handles are finally available on their website!
Couldn’t really tell a huge difference by just looking at it. Any better pics than they have on their site?Just got mine in and installed, much much better!

more like 3 or 4 years... and how about that typical Sig recall on the cross.I don’t see how they ripped sig off? Sig put out their bolt gun last year and it had to get recalled....
Duuuude that looks awesome! Stoked for it!
Wow, really useful comparison, thanks for this. What is your impression so far?My observations of the bolts compared before installing.
Not a huge size difference, but some useful geometry difference in there possibly.
Hopefully the trace is self explanatory
Haven't done much with it other than about 40 dry fires off the deck.Wow, really useful comparison, thanks for this. What is your impression so far?
Mind sharing a picture? Also how close it clears the folded stock?...The factory handle with 7/8" delrin ball on the end...
