If you were one of the lucky ones to use the 15% new customer code before I added the verbiage to the page restricting discounts to "shipsfree", I'll honor the orders...

I think that I fixed the problems so the only code that will work is "ships free". If I missed any other discounts, I will cancel any future orders.

Thanks all for your encouragement and patience.
Hope you're not having to come out of pocket for that. It's a good deal already and you shouldn't take a hit on a technicality as if you were honoring a price on something you were selling for your business.

Thanks, and I was thinking of that at first. Then, I realized the costs of forcing a customer to deal with cancelling is greater the benefit of a few dollars to me... in addition to my time to deal with it.

Over all, this is a very good thing for LS Wild and the awesome Roksliders here.

Thoughts on arc bushings? I see where they’re available just wondering what the opinion is? If needed I’ll sure get them but if the 308 works fine I’ll skip them. Thanks.

Also is there a shooting bag that’s a must have? I know opinions vary. I have a set of the dog gone good bags for a heavier type front and rear bag. So something maybe smaller or lighter might be handy. I’ve just never seen these before and didn’t know if one of the bags was a common everyone should have one kinda thing. Thanks.

For hunting, the Triple S pillow is versatile and the 2.5 Ultralight is the most popular. I carry them on all my hunts. Check out the reviews.

I haven’t tried the bushings yet, but I was told they work but the neck isn’t centered as well in the flame. This will be the chance to get them cheapest.

Don’t know what to say beyond that.

Getting ready to order. Confused on the bushings. Looking to do multiple calibers. How custom do you have to get for bushing size? I did see someone custom ordered bushings for a 6.5 prc on manufacturer site and you can get some for the wsm line. I would be annealing both prc and wsm.

UPDATE

From Stefan:

As for inserts - saum and prc are covered with the standard inserts, however wsm are not, they are .012" larger in diameter.

I ordered a few inserts for WSM and will post them up later in the sale site.

………………….
I had contradictory information and didn’t study it out. I will reach out to Stefan about it.

The bushing included will fit the long mags. Per specs, the opening is .543. 300 win mag is .532. It has clearance of .011.

Here are the dimensions off the internet I just pulled. I don’t know more than this at this point.

Body size:
300 mag. .532
300 wsm. .555
7 saum .5512
6.5 prc. .532
7 prc. .532
300 prc. .5230

Personally, I will drill, sand out my mag bushing to fit my saum and run everything with it.

But, I will get details and order and stock the necessary bushings for whatever we need.

I will update the order form. You can add the bushings you want to the order. Stefan can do the bushings and it won’t delay your shipping by more than a week or so.

I have a 7saum too. Can I use it without the bushing like I would with a Lapua case? Is it possible for him to just open up the magnum a little to accept 300wsm and smaller?

I am working on it… don’t know the answers.

When I get the first shipment, I will try my SAUM cases. If the bushings need to be opened, I will see if I can find a quick way to do it and pass it along. And, the effect of running mag cases in a slightly larger bushing.

I know smaller cases work, but the bushing doesn’t perfectly center the case. The question is how important is centering the brass for the torch to heat each case perfectly each time. Seems the flame heat could make the centering tolerances irrelevant on small differences.

That’s the question.

I know Stefan is meticulous so he wants his product to be as perfect as possible. I appreciate that.

Regardless, I will order sets of WSM bushings to have them.

But, I think I ultimately, if there is no practical difference, I would want the annealer I sell to have bushings opened up to fit mag, PRC, WSM and SAUM, unless it is a problem.

About adding other LS Products to your annealer pre-orders…

The system has limitations so I can’t apply multiple discounts and get the right discount for every thing in one order. We’ll upgrade software soon to try to avoid that.

I will give you a chance to add LS Products to preorder. I am thinking a 15-25% discount and no shipping.

So, once the annealer order window closes, I will send an email to all buyers with a special hidden page with discount prices and free shipping. Any other orders for LS Products will then be added to your annealer order.

We’ll have time inside LS to organize ANY and ALL multiple orders you may make and ship once.

Only pre orders will get this chance.

I tried to answer your question best I could above.

I guess worst case scenario is you will have to add the WSM/SAUM bushings to your order after I figure it all out.

Either way, if you order now, before I ship it will get worked out.

Orders will be filled in the order received, so feel free to buy your annealer now and add bushings as needed before shipping.

Thank you for looking into this for me. I will get my order in and add the wsm bushings.

Shipping update per AGS.

All orders made as of this morning will be in the first batch shipped by next Wednesday.

The next batch will ship by Monday the next week, so there won’t much delay for those ordering at the tail end.

If you want to buy when they get here, the first two batches are mostly sold out. So you’ll be about three weeks behind pre-orders to have hands on. I will update the thread when that opens up and post an order link. It will only be available for a few days before I list them at full price on the website.

People would be crazy not to get on the prepay list! This is an awesome deal.

Let us know what Stefan says about the Saum/wsm. I’m wondering if I can use some sand paper on a dowel to open up the magnum bushings. Would be sweet if he just made them a tiny bit bigger! Lots of roksliders rocking Saum/wsm cases nowadays!

I should have figured all this out, but I jumped into to get current production and not wait.

Either way, I know I will have time to get it right for you all.

Worst case, I refund the money and give the deal to someone else or make more money selling it on my website.

Ultimately, I don’t worry about Roksliders who are crazy enough to pay for something I don’t even have in my hand yet, lol.😂
