he listed them in smallest to largest^^^ concur.
I’m actually looking on PVA’s website at the contours
he listed them in smallest to largest
weights wont be accurate versus normal contours though because of the 5.5" shank versus normal 2.5-3"
That’s what I was wondering. Some switch the med Palma and marksman so I wasn’t sure.Good catch and great point. Thanks!
the sendero issue is likely gonna be the straight 5.5" shank. otherwise a medium palma is pretty similar@bohem I’m in.
For an Impact long action if possible, otherwise short action Impact.
I don't suppose I'm lucky enough for this to fit a Sendero barrel channel.
If not, would a replacement stock like an Oryx with a 1.35 barrel channel work?
Need to start assembling parts for the next hunting season.
Thank you for doing this.
Id assume/hope it clears a 1.25" like most chassis do@b6graham you anticipate any fit issues with a KRG Bravo?

m24 is not a contour availableI'd be in along with @Matt_3479 if we can get these to Canada.
Shouldered M24 for a Zermatt SR3. Details to follow if it gets that far.
Thanks!
If you call Tom from Go Big he might be willing to import them for you at a fee.I'd be in along with @Matt_3479 if we can get these to Canada.

No, an Origin order will come for an Origin.I have an Origin action, just for clarity do I need to buy the Hunts Long Range recoil lug?
Perfect! Thanks for the clarification, something said in the earlier posts had me wondering.No, an Origin order will come for an Origin.
The HLR lug was deigned to allow use of existing TL3-SA barrels on the Origin.
M24 has a smaller shank (1.2 vs 1.25) and sits directly between an MM and HP, weight wise the MM is identical to an M24.m24 is not a contour available
heavy palma with a 5.5" breech is biggest (my choice)

The muzzle on an M24 is 0.9
MM is 0.88
HP 0.92
For the sake of processing a GB quickly I had to deselect some options and this was a pretty easy one to forego since it's so close to 2 other contours.
I emailed Joe @PVA and asked the same thing. Also inquired if fluting would be a option for weight reduction.Question, what does the slug drop do?
Excuse my ignorance in advance
Ah yes, I see that now. Would do Medium Palma then.
Gotcha, will do a medium Palma then.
For the Canucks on the thread, i'm going to shoot Tom an email and see what he says. Will keep you posted.
I’ve messaged Tom and he said he’s going look into it. But I’d shoot him a message anyways to let him know there’s more then 1 interested.
Matt
The drop is used to make a full form die to engrave the bullets with the rifling from your barrel as bohem said. If shooting solids it helps the bullet swell into the rifling. Since the bullet is already sitting in the rifling verses being driven into it like a center fire, harder bullets sometimes need this.Question, what does the slug drop do?
Excuse my ignorance in advance
bohem, what is the bearing surface length on the solids you plan on making?
Overall bullet length?
Land riders .(451), or full form bullets (.458)
Bullet weight?
The vast majority of custom muzzle loader bullets are shot in 1:20 twist barrels...and have been shot is barrels with twists as slow as 1:30
On one of my SMLs, I have a 31" 1:17 twist Brux barrel, but I knew I was going to shoot 300 to 400 grain+ bullets (415) @ 2850,
or 335 APBs @ 3230
Some of these guys might just end up using a lighter (250 grain) bullet such as Arrowhead, Fury or Parkers
Is a 1:16 twist going to be too much for those thin jacketed (.015-.020") bullets, with a very short bearing surface?
Have you test fired your longer bearing surface solids yet?
I had a little luck with the lighter Barnes 416 bullets in my 416 SMLs
This is why I HIGHLY recommend a muzzle brake.Does anyone recommend YouTube videos that show these things going off?
Common trends I’m seeing is recoil pad, recoil pad, and bomb proof scope So I’m rethinking my KRG Bravo hunting set-up.
Also, 2900+ FPS with a 300+ grain projectile is nuts and makes my giddy!
This is why I HIGHLY recommend a muzzle brake.
Can you hunt with a suppressed muzzleloader?
Asked this yesterday but think it got lost in the thread. For guys hunting out west, what are the option on these for open sights that dont require drilling into the barrel? Only option I’ve been able to find that mounts to a pic rail is the gunwerks/revic EXO.

These white stripe dovetail front sights draw focus to the front sight for fast target reference while also offering fast target acquisition.www.xssights.com
No, we're not planning on putting front sights on the barrels. Prefits time up close enough for cosmetics but not for that.This is a good idea for the rear sight. Thank you. As far as front sights go will there be mounting holes in the barrel? (probably a better question for @bohem ) Or what would options be for front sights? Looked on their site and couldn't find anything to mount for a front sight.

Folks,
Not for nothing here but it sounded like there was all kinds of interest and people put their names on the list. We have exactly 1 person who placed a deposit. I have til the end of the week to cut the barrel quantity back down to a min quantity order. If I don't have the deposits in as people requested then I'm going to chop down the order so I'm not sitting on so many very specific blanks and we're going to have to cancel the GB. The barrel blanks and parts from ASG are far too expensive to buy that many and drop them here without buyers.
Yep, we've talked. I suggested to him to approach it as a handling fee plus import costs. There's nothing on the bone here to give him a further discount considering how expensive the components are. This is basically a marketing stunt pricing deal to get some more attention to these conversions and put our name out there for making them. Regular pricing is going to be about $200 higher on the barrels and other parts are going to be retailed around 20% higher (Ecept the breech plugs, we didn't get a price break on them).I think there'd be a few Canadian orders incoming if we can work something out with Tom at GBT. I think he's reached out to you to see what can be done.
