Omega Brux barrel

Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, Shady Camo after the last one, I love the color!
But they must have some old ones laying around because I ordered a TH with stippling, and it shipped the same day and was just plain ugly. I sent it back and just ordered a plain TH and it’s back to the dark orange color and took a week to ship. The top one is the one I sent back.

Very Nice Yes, I also have the Shady Camo, Not the TH (I'm Right-Handed but Dominant Left Eyed so I shoot both ways) With Boyd's you Never Know How the Color is going to turn out. My Friend's came in a lot Uglier than yours & I can't Believe he didn't return it. It Might have been because it was the Maximum LOP they offer???

Beautiful, I hopefully get mine this summer and have it going by deer season!

No, I just had it Cerekoted in Graphite Black. From past rigs I knew it matched perfectly.

Care to share who did the cerakote for you? What pieces did you give him? Any issues assembling it?

I have a local friend that will do it for me. But I had to strip down and reassemble. The Omega is really simple to tear down completely, once you do it’s a couple times. But I sent everything but the plastic spacers and springs, everything else has been coated.
Actually lightened my trigger pull to 2lbs, too. All you have to do is resend 1 spring (most times) to get the lighter trigger pull.

If I was any better at putting together a video, I’d try to put one together on how to take apart and reassemble.

Maaan I like the color of your Shady Camo far more that I like the one I got for my Omega build. Congrats, everything looks awesome & the Cerakote on the action was a great call too.

Resend? Can you explain a little more? Thx

Typo maybe? Im curious about lightening my trigger too.

Yes , it must have auto corrected beings rebend is not a word.

I have received everything to complete my build. I still need to bed the barrel in the stock and install the VX-6HD I have for this rig and I’ll be ready for the range.
This time of year I seem to spend more time on the Harley, than getting rigs ready for hunting season that’s months away.
But here’s some pics that look close enough to finished…
I really love the T-Handle that Arrowhead is carrying. In case anyone is wondering it adds 1” to your rod when folded over and 2.25” to your total length. Then I like the “spinjag” that Hankins makes. I like that it will fit through the thimbles and stock. It will add 2” to your rod. Or I needed a 25 7/16” total rod and ordered a 21 3/16 from GiRamrods and it’s a perfect fit.

Looks great!

So bend the spring to lighten? I’ve seen that method talked about.

Whose ramrod band is that? Doesn’t look like a Hanks.

 

[JeffB1961]

holy crap !
that looks incredible !

 

[Outdoornut1]

Very nice setup! Top notch!

 

[Mike3888]

Well done Boonechaser, nice build..

Its a Hankins, he’s the only one I know that makes anything similar.

And yes the spring that sits on the same pin the trigger does. The spring part (circle) fits perfect on a Fix it stix T handle (to keep from deforming) I then take needle nose pliers and move the two ends closer together. I pinch at the bottom towards the spring and not at the ends. Hope you can tell what I mean from this picture.

That's a really good looking gun. Nice work. I need to quit looking at this thread or I'm going to want to get my Omega a makeover.

Does this barrel take a special breech plug for smokeless powder, or will the standard TC plug work?

 

[ElDiablo]

Threaded for Marks special plug - it will not take the OEM plug.

 

[toytruck]

Kinda figured that, but didn't really know. Thanks! Got a pic of Marks plug?
