Did you just hop threads to quote me? All because I don't think the cerakoted Tikka models are worth the premium. I've said that for a long time now, regardless of if they've had issues with the cerakote process.
I did not.
Could be wrong about what you ordered but they stated that guns ordered with Rokstoks would take precedent over just a Rokstok.
I had custom in the ear plugs made at a hearing specialist / hearing aid doctor. They insert a silicone plug into your ear for an exact mold to your ear canal. Best money I ever spent on ear plugs. Can wear them for hours, and they have a attachment cord to wear them around the neck. Great for shooting, construction and chainsaws.
Couldn't find these for sale on the Shoot2Hunt website. Are these still going to be produced for sale?
If you read through pages 347-349 where UM talks about which order numbers are up next, as well as some info regarding why order #’s are delivered out of order, you might gain some understanding of where you sit in the que
I've read all that but don't admittedly understand it, what insights can you translate for us?
I just bought a couple and haven't been happy with how they fit on a stock T1x but to their credit Echelon says they don't work that well on rounded fore ends.
Yeah maybe. I’ll PM
Did you just get a referral from your normal doctor? Did you pay out of pocket or get part of it covered by insurance? That's exactly what I'm looking for
I used one on a krg bravo for a bit worked fine but eventually moved to the krg arca rail as I wasn’t concerned with the weight of the rifle I moved the krg to. Agree with the above it doesn’t feel or fit great on a rounded forend.
Ha ha, i don’t fully understand it either and can only speak for myself here as it relates to my particular order. I ordered 1/4/24 I think order # 1800xx. Railed bare carbon ( I want to paint my own) with 3b contour I think. Doesn’t matter really. Due to limited molds, limited labor resources from stocky’s end I.e. lack of trained or semi skilled and trainable people available combined with too many sku’s leading to switching production runs being delivered to UM out of order, or some other undisclosed condition like the layup process is different than what stockys uses for their own stocks resulting in unanticipated finish issues, we have arrived where we are where the process is actually starting to run more smoothly. So for example UM receives a production run of x configuration stocks and they get allocated to UM rifle builds or to the mill shop to mill the barrel channels and then to cerakote etc. Evidently most of the stocks ordered were bare carbon railed which has been the sticky wicket in the process. The molds have been switched to black and green molded in carbon for the next 30 something stocks and they will be delivered to UM and hopefully out the door by 10/25/24. Then the molds will be converted to whatever other production run and so on. In my case my hope is that my stock will follow this run and I might get it later in November or December. I highly recommend everyone watches the Alterra Arms video detailing how they lay up their stocks. It’s an involved process that requires a high level of skill to execute correctly. Correction: my stock was order # 181097. It was for tikka sporter contour channel. I have since realized that even for a tikka sporter barrel it should probably be opened up some. Also the le camp stocks look like they will arrive @ UM by 10/25 not out the door by 10/25
That is the general jist I had too, but doesn't really answer the person's question you replied to. He basically was asking why a Feb order jumped forward. Yes rifle builds were supposed to be priority (but didn't really happen based on reports) but its probably a fair question to what end. IE if someone ordered a build in July do they jump in front of the outstanding Dec orders?
I also had some initial issues with the gunwerks pic bipod on the arca/pic rail, but was able to get it to work with adjustment to the bipod and placing it correctly on the rail. There is a set screw on the bipod that adjusts the lockup of the bipod jaws that you'll need to play with. Also, I found I had to place the jaws as far forward on the rail as possible, as the back of the picatinny widens slightly and didn't allow the jaws to close fully.
Thank you! I have been messing with the inexplicably tiny and inevitably strippy adjustment screw. Went tighter to try to get more clamp force. Will try moving it further forward and let you guys know if it continues to auto-yeet.
You are getting very close sir, only a few stocks in front of you.
The mold should have arrived to @Stockys -- We plan to make 10 pre pre production without texturing and then send the molds out for texturing.
