Just to much gun for you to handle?

Someone should snatch this right up.

Appreciate you building it just to test it.
Good luck selling it.

Could that barrel be set back and chambered 6UM?

It’s possible, but I’m sure someone will take it off my hands

@Ryan Avery

Now that you’ve experienced the 6-7 PRC, can you go back and update your post #2 regarding pros/cons?

IMO the only reason to build a 6-7 PRC over a 6UM is the brass availability ATM. The 6UM takes one step to neck down. The 6-7PRC takes three which will result in more crushed necks. The 6-7PRC requires more powder for similar velocity. Both require fire-forming and velocity is a toss up and barrel depend.

Just tagging in. (My 6-7PRC was ordered from UM in January.)

What is your time line for pickup. I ordered not long after you and am probably around June.
You should be soon. Rok stocks are coming in now if that's what you ordered it with.

This is the most in depth discussion of it I’ve seen:

The PRC die "problem"

There are a number of people experiencing sizing issues with the PRC case. When designing a chamber, brass, and resize die there is no one size fits all. We want good hard case brass, but its harder to size. We dont want sloppy chambers either. I have experience with designing reamers with...

I ordered 6UM at the top of the year. I got a call 2 weeks ago saying I was off to cerekote. I’m doing barreled action and dropping in a hnt26.

I don’t have a shipping date yet. It will be a Rokstok, but on the Vesper action. I figured I’d check with Mr. Blaine in a couple of weeks and see how it’s coming along. Looking forward to playing with it!

I hope it's not much longer. I keep adding to it. Now I'm doing full multi color cerakote with a stencil pattern. Scope and all .
Hope that Maven is rugged enough to take a cerakote job.
