SWFA is an optics manufacturing specializing in rifle scopes built for tactical, hunting, and long range shooting known for quality and precision optics.
This thread was started about two weeks ago to provide a place for comments for Liberty barrel builders. Another thread is alive and well and focuses on some potential chamber issues. For readers of this thread who may have those issues, I am reposting a statement from Lindsey at Satern about the barrels:
"You may share with the forum members that we are working to figure out what the issue is and what the next steps will be. They can contact me regarding their issues at 712-362-4991 ext 2, or Maranda at ext 3."
Maybe we can keep this thread on point and avoid more sidebar distractions.
Looks promising. I think I will put an on-hand NC Star scope on my 16 inch barrel until I decide on something better if I want to stretch it's legs. But for now, not looking beyond 200-300 yards as I have a PF Neptune V for longer range capability. The range I frequent only has 200 yards to play on. I have to drive a bit to go longer than 200.
Question: Why wouldn't Satern get complete bolts from Maxim or Underground Tactical. Seem kind of problematic to not have the bolts and components from the bolt manufacturer. sourcing from someone other than the bolt manufacturer introduces unnecessary problems
I am not so sure that they (the manufacturer's) make complete bolts. If not, then they have to order the components, and assemble them by themselves. Or maybe Satern likes their sources for the components and only need the bare bolt. What ever the case, it may be an evolving process as the bolt maker, outsources all the components and becomes a complete bolt supplier. Maybe then they consider if it is feasible, or not, to make all the components. I honestly am only speculating, but I do know that Satern is taking action with the Chambering issue. This just received fro Linsey at Satern:
I talked to my boss yesterday and she said we are currently working on an adaptation to work for the ammunition that is being used by you and other customers. As soon as I am able to give the OK for customers who are concerned with their barrels to send them back to us, I will be sure that information is posted. At this time, any customers who would like to contact me with their information can. I appreciate your patience, and hope to be able to contact you soon. Thanks again!
Did they say anything about the bolt? Like yours mine is T.I.G.H.T - TIGHT. It will fit, and moves as it should, once installed, but getting it inserted into the carrier is a task.
