Exactly. EVERY time I've ordered or needed a question answered, the service was excellent. Trusted both ways.I do not think you can beat the service offered by Luke at Arrowhead Rifles.
If i recall correctly another person made them before Hankins but he used stainless. It was posted on dougs board years ago.I would go with a hankins, the original inventor of the nose sealing large rifle primer module.
The other person made a module but it didn’t have the front sealing mouth/lip and that’s what makes the magic.If i recall correctly another person made them before Hankins but he used stainless. It was posted on dougs board years ago.
I saw this on dougs years ago, I have been a member there for years under another name. There is no way that will seal like the nose of a firearm cartridge cass mouth. Maybe when first set up with a real tight head space it wouldn’t leak bad but after multiple firings things would wear and it would leak and flame cut at the nose.SquirrelHawker had the SS version made by a machinist friend. He said it sealed very well and sealed at the tip. I’m not sure but possibly Hankins took the design and tweaked it.
Bottom line jeff hankins invented the nose sealing primer module and others copied it. I remember when jeff hankins was on dougs message board for a while and just about everyone over there m f’ed him to death including the one that copied his design.I researched both and it was pretty even. As I recall Luke is an Iowa farm boy with an engineering degree from Iowa State. I'm a farm boy from Illinois with a degree from Iowa State, so that swayed me to Arrowhead.
I couldn't be happier with Arrowhead's service or my build...
Hankins also copies other builder's designs, makes excuses as to why when called out on it.Bottom line jeff hankins invented the nose sealing primer module and others copied it.

I know he copied direct ignition module but he had permission to do so. He makes asg 209 breech plugs but didn’t try to get s patent on them. Your right about the patent he should have gotten one. That goes to show you more than half of the patents out there are not from the true inventors. Mechanics, machinists and field technicians are the true inventors.Hankins also copies other builder's designs, makes excuses as to why when called out on it.
Bottom line, if a builder wants to keep something, patent it.
My post doesn't get into who designed the system and my choice was based purely on my common threads with Luke, and shouldn't be taken as bashing Hankins Custom Rifles. I'm sure Hankins products are "top shelf," I just haven't done business with Jeff... yet.Bottom line jeff hankins invented the nose sealing primer module and others copied it.
