Aluminum Neuvo in a low profile LRB.

[Alex Wheeler]

Now that I have a better supply I can start selling some of these stocks so Im sure you will eventually see one. I prefer them, so does everyone thats got one so far.

Alex do you see Bat doing ant Aluminum in there hunting actions?

Just finished this one up for @tom . Aluminum Neuvo drop port glued and screwed into a wood laminate low profile LRB stock. Tom picked out a new color to try as well. Bartlien barrel in 6 BRA. I went through the action and trigger as usual. Since this is a glue in I had to get down to raw aluminum so the epoxy would stick. If you have any concerns about this coating wearing though I can assure you its not going to happen. I think I can get through nitride easier. This stuff is tough. It took over an hour to prep the action with a die grinder. I was hoping to have my new barrels in by now to go on this rifle so Tom could get to testing but that didnt happen. She came in a 16.9lbs with the Majesta bedded into NF ultralight rings. View attachment 1506878View attachment 1506879

I think they already do with the BumbleBee and Vampire, right?

I see your right, thanks for the reply.
I was under the impression the Nuevo was the first.

Honestly, before I started looking at BAT actions, in depth last week, I had the same impression about the Nuevo being the only one. Was surprised that those two hunting actions were aluminum, and for some reason made me more interested in them. I would rather have an aluminum hunting action in a traditional pattern than a uber skeletonized steel action where all of the deep woods debris can be caught in the action.

It seems this one is jinxed with visibility issues, so we'll just do scenic today.

Oh and I fixed it Alex!

That word was not splelled accuately..

But if we are talking rare and collectible items, errors are always worth more upside down planes and such

Crappy day no doubt’ looks like your about 4200 ft.. what I want to know is if those chains are drape over or drive on ?
My drive on ice breakers are a total PITA to get on.

 

[tom]

Jim,

I don't remember what they're called. They all suck to put on though. They aren't the camlock ones like my first set, as I didn't like those. I drape them over, and then roll onto them. It gets harder when you're stubborn and get stuck first. At that point, I've usually winched forward, then roll onto them in reverse. I have always gone back and forth a bit and see if I can get another link, so it takes a minute. Always carry extra tighteners, and bungies if not.

It was brutally slow today as of those track conversion atv things had been in there, so I paddled my way pretty slow.

There always some pecker head tearing up what little roads we got up top, no wonder half the good spots are gated off. I hate laying in ice chaining up the Jeep.
Are you up on Fisher creek ?

 

[tom]

More fisher river area Jim. Not a terrible walk to the highway if something broke!

Tom

 

[JFrank]

Yeah that’s the area I was thinking , closer to silver butte then Libby .

 

[tom]

Ya I can see to there, I'm after the power line comes outta there a hole or two.
