. Love that movie. But I mean, Come on. Says you can't compare two actions, and then literally goes on to compare the SOLUS and an action he won't name? Seems mongoloid-ish to me. just mind boggling that someone would come on here to call someone else a retard, while literally doing the exact same thing that the person who they called a retard did. 
He didnt compare it to any one particular action, he compared it to known mechanical principles. Many principles of which other manufactures have discovered and corrected already for themselves for the very reasons Terry described.

I still don't get it. The spring loaded ejectors are the fulcrum. I guess I don't understand the physics of it.
and you know...knowing how something is supposed to work often trumps knowing why it works! Although the why it works comes in handy when the how it works stops working!
"He didn't compare it to any particular action." No, no, He didn't compare it to ANY action. He said "Force to lift bolt during cocking is very favorable compared to similar 3 lug actions." What's similar, and what action? Again, I'm sorry, but if your going to call someone a retard, I feel you better have your house in order, and be clear and concise on what you are comparing and describing. To me his statement is just as ambiguous as the other statement.
This retard is gonna go shoot his SOLUS and get back with you all, because If I'm gonna be called a retard, I want to be the retard giving a review with some rounds through the fucking thing!
Im not going to put words in his mouth but I am going to go out on a limb here and say that if any one individual on this forum has his house in order its Terry Cross.
I hear you. I'm not saying he doesn't. But I just felt like it could have been worded differently, without insulting someone else trying to give information. Now I sound like a big pussy.
The most important sentence in my entire post above:
Would the extractor not be the fulcrum (point of pivot or rotation)?
Yes, I guess the leverage would be more but the travel of the lever arm (cartridge base) would be less. In my mind I was equating the further travel of the lever arm with more leverage.
Given the same amount of ejector travel beyond the breech face, you are correct in that the closer ejectors would stay in contact and push through more degrees of arc.
No doubt super short cases in the BR/Dasher and sub/223 families would benefit from the closer positioning.
No argument here. I was just trying to come up with a reason why that choice was made. Was it an egnineering solution looking for a problem or just some engineer got tired of having to pull 300 blackout cases out of the raceway? I laugh to myself thinking about it.
Hey Terry, you know how stubby cases (The BR, 221 fb etc) tend to eject poorly out of a standard R700 because the ejector is basically out of stroke by the time the case neck hits the 3 oclock raceway. Then when the case neck clears the front end of the e-port, there’s almost nothing left.
When I read "retard" I was like, "Oh yeah, this is SH and we can talk like grown men do. LOL. I too reserve the adjective for non mentally challenged folks who act like they are or shouldn't!
I ran with it a bit for some levity and humor.Where the data?When I read "retard" I was like, "Oh yeah, this is SH and we can talk like grown men do. LOL. I too reserve the adjective for non mentally challenged folks who act like they are or shouldn't!
I wish people could read threads and not automatically get thin skinned. I know we can't see body language, tone, and such, and god forbid we forget to put a smiley in for sarcasm/satire! Well, I am gonna '"rainman out" on the data I collected from today's range trip with the SOLUS. Please do keep up the good posts you make!
You're good. My apologies for being a douche about it. Haha
Most certainly they could have.
What’s to stop one from having a Krieger, Lilja, Brux, etc spun up for one. Not trying to be smarta$$. I just want to know because that was my plan.
thats a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think? I can get a fluted Brux for $430 and have it chambered for $250. A prefit criterion is $410 + $150 for fluting. That’s only a $120 delta
Huh? You literally compared two barrels, one with fluting and one without. Also, who mentioned fluting? Secondly. A criterion prefit from NSS in 20-26in is $325. not $410. A blank brux from bugholes is $400 alone. Plus chambering and threading costs...so yeah about a $3-400 difference is correct. Not $120. If $120 was all that separated a chambered brux,bart,proof,Krieger etc...criterion would be out of business.
A fluted blank from Brux is $430. Called them yesterday. Prefit Criterion from NSS is $410. Called them yesterday too. My guy chambers for $250. I stand by what I said. You want to keep pissing, then have at it.
Dude you're burnt. A chambered and threaded barrel from NSS is $400 before tax depending on length. That's CHAMBERED and THREADED. Not a blank you dipshit. So with your theory and math....once again about a $3-400 difference. Congratulations you're stupid in multiple posts. That's why this forum is full of nonsensical bullshit, because of people like you. It's like, why? Why even make a statement when you don't know what you are talking about? What's the point?
I've cut some shouldered barrels on 3 of them, 2-6.5CM, 1-6CM.
You know it! I might even put an old VX3 3.5-10x50 on there... "Finest damn scope ever made!"Topped off with a Leupold, right?

Shoot me an email [email protected] Ill get a sample sent out to you. We have a special pricing program for type 7 holders.
You are 100% correct BA Ar barrels can be hit or miss, their whole business model is volume. We went down to BA and spent a week with them standing up a line of barrels that are 100% checked before they ship to us. Then we 100% QC them. Every complete rifle is test-fired before being sent. If a barrel is out of spec it gets scrapped, no exceptions.
