The LS Wild Armory thread

[hereinaz]

LS Wild Armory is legit! We have our license. Website coming soon. I will keep updates posted on this thread.

For anyone who has reached out in PM, feel free to ping me again to bring it to the top. I will try to reach out to everyone in my PM, but it is A LOT of messages.

We are selling Tikka barreled actions right now. Buy the barrel here, and for now email [email protected] for an invoice to buy the action from LS Wild Armory before the website is finished.

Stainless prefit barrels are $627 and blued action is $748 (barreled action cost $1375) and stainless or nitride is $848 (barreled action cost $1475).

We will be doing another order for 6 Creedmoor and 25 Creedmoor barrels.

Barrels are stainless. Actions are offered in blued, nitrided, or stainless. And, we can cerakote barrels and barreled actions.

For those who worry, you won’t have to cause I grew up in Missouri, the “Show Me” state. So I will be doing that.

I will be “proving” barreled actions included in the cost. I will shoot 30 rounds, in 5 shot groups into one target to confirm it shoots. I have a thread going for that process and started with a 20” 22 Creedmoor.

I will use hand loads and finish with two 5 round groups with factory ammo. For factory ammo: 22 creed it’s 80 ELDm or ELDx. For 6mm it is 108 ELDm factory ammo. I will hand load 80 ELDm and 108 ELDm. If I have a bullet you want to try, I can load and shoot that too.

I will be including velocity for all the shots and the load data which comes straight off of Hornady’s page.

Nice, congratulations.

You make me wish I had a need.

What will you be doing with takeoff barrels?

@NSI will be keeping most at this point for his parallel project at nonstandard.co. I will have a couple 6.5 cm and 6.5 PRC and a nice used 300 WSM with brake to list soon.

Saw some pics from your shoot last weekend, looked fun. Tell @Marty to keep his head in the game, lol.

We are selling Tikka barreled actions right now, and those who PM’ed have priority before it hits the website for everyone.

We have Tikka actions on their way to me for .223 Wylde 18”, 22 Creedmoor 18” and 20” and 6 Creedmoor 16” barrels in stock. 6 creed 18” are about 8 weeks out. I will post a sheet with all the details including weight.

We will be doing another order for 6 Creedmoor and 25 Creedmoor barrels.

Barrels are stainless. Actions are both blued and stainless.

We will be offering nitriding for the blued actions. And, we can cerakote barrels and barreled actions.

Something id look into if I were in your shoes.

Get in contact with waters rifleman in AU and get some of his mags over to the states in quantity.

 

[AZ_Hunter]

I look forward to the 25CM

Will there be an option to skip the proving process for those that don't demand it?

 

[hereinaz]

Yes, there is an opt out. Cost is the same.

 

[WeiserBucks]

Same cost for no proving? That doesn't math unless you're giving away your time and ammo during the proving process.

 

[hereinaz]

Correct, not charging now. I will charge in the future.

Right now, I get value from the process by establishing credibility, demonstrating quality, gathering data, and setting standards.

Not everyone may be as confident to take an unproven rifle.

 

[AberT]

Is there somewhere a price list has been listed and I missed it?

 

[Scottyboy]

I’ll ping you again from our previous discussions, for no other reason than you said so. Very much looking forward to the end product!!

Do you happen to have the weight of a factory Tikka barrel in say 22-250 and .243?

Not exactly what you are asking but a stripped Tikka factory Superlight (fluted) 24” 6.5CM is 37.2 oz.

Dang, those are light! My .25-300WSM 20” taperless 750 with full spiral fluting was the same weight!

Is there somewhere a price list has been listed and I missed it?

Website is coming soon, still working on it. We are finishing the stupid administration stuff to get the online store set up with credit card processing, banking, etc.

For now, I am taking orders directly from those who contact me, and giving priority to those who have PMed me.

Barrels are $627 shipped. In stock barrels will ship right away. The list is found above. I will be taking pre-orders for 6 PRC barrels and barreled actions soon. Also, 22, 6mm, and 25 Creedmoor.

If you want to buy a barrel, you can ship your Tikka action to us to install the barrel for $50 plus the cost of shipping.

I have right handed Tikka actions, in .223, standard and magnum bolt faces. I have stainless left handed Tikka actions in standard and magnum bolt faces, but not the .223 because they are rarer than hen's teeth.

Barreled actions will ship inside 3 weeks, with in stock barrels. I will create options to order a barrel that is not in stock.

Stainless barreled action will be $1625, first two buyers will be discounted to $1475 plus shipping.

Blued action with stainless barrel will be $1450, first three buyers will be discounted to $1375 plus shipping.

Batches will be going to nitride in the next two weeks, so delivery will be contingent on getting them back.
Nitrided action (blued) with stainless barrel will be $1600, first two buyers discounted to $1475 plus shipping.
