I built my first "custom" rifle ( I use the term custom very loosely) recently. When I shot out the barrel of my Howa 1500 Varmint I swapped the barrel, put the barreled action in a new stock, and added a AICS compatible mag kit. Swapping a barrel on a bolt gun is quite simple if you have the proper tools. I hope videos like this one become much more popular.
That's awesome you could do that by yourself. We bet it probably took you a few tries to get it to fit the way you wanted. But thanks for your feedback. Dre and Charles have been busy keeping the business running, but they plan to make more videos soon. Be sure to subscribe and click the notification bell so you'll be notified whenever we post a video. You can also follow us on Instagram and Facebook. There you'll find all the rifles the boys are working on.
@@pristineactions Actually a lot more barrel makers are selling shouldered prefits for a lot more actions. A custom one like your pristine action should be easy as pie to get one for. Spin it on, check the headspace, and torque to spec. It's literally that simple. Getting the mag kit to fit right took longer than installing the barrel. I have to admit the barrel nut system is VERY ENTICING though. I will be looking forward to more videos.
Pristine should make a receiver rod for their action that would grab in a bench vise like a Midwest Industries AR15 Receiver Rod, this would be great for Savage style pre-fit barrels. It should also be designed to be used with a barrel vise to allow for a shouldered barrel fit up. I am a gunsmith, I would not lend out my headspace gauges, but would check headspace for the builder for a fee. Keeping the Gunsmith out of the loop may be cheaper up front, but may get expensive if there is a problem with your home built rig. Fit on pre-threads are generally pretty loose also, I have found. Also, the ejection port does not match a standard Rem 700 ejection port, at least on that Bell and Carlson stock, which would drive me nuts.
Hi @x20020x thanks for your feedback. Soon after the video was released we thought about ways we can improve our receiver wrench. Your advice to build a receiver rod similar to the Midwest Industries Receiver Rod is most welcome and something we will look into.

Just bought a Pristine bolt action from RDSC and it wasn't until I paid for it and searched You-Tube that I found out Pristine is Canadian. This made me very happy as I want to buy as much as I can made-in-Canada
I feel empowered! Straightforward and easy to understand, making a decision tree diagram in my head already for different options/choices. I did visit your website and that was very clear and understandable also.

Hi Shelby, thanks for your feedback. we haven't tried it ourselves but that is a very interesting concept. Who knows maybe Pristine could offer this option one day.
Hi Ralph, thanks brother. Dre and Charles worked really hard to make a video that really showcases our bolt action. Look forward to new videos and posts on social media real soon.
Thanks for your feedback, Bob. We're working on more videos and should have something posted in the next week or two. If you have any questions please reach out to us at sales@pristineactions.com
Just checked and they updated their website, when you click proceed to checkout it gives you the option to add the bolt action receiver wrench! $199 CAD!
I bought two Pristine actions and after having one returned and replaced I can only make one complaint and that is it's to bad they installed a cheap cap that rattles and sometimes falls off the end of the bolt. other manufacturers of rifle actions install a nice heavy cap that fits well.
Question. Peopel say you need to keep your rifle straight and level when shooting. Other wise the bullet may not reach te target. Nou my question is while he is holding the barrel in his hand plz show me where is up ore down
You should have explained the proper orientation of the torque wrench on the barrel nut wrench so it’s not adding extra torque. Some people don’t know and make this mistake.
1)Is it possible to make a straight pull bolt rifle? 2) Can you make the rifle magazine feed that takes AR15, AR-10, Ruger Mini magazines, BAR Magazines, 30 carbine magazines, and Barret magazines? 3) Can you make a pistol version that takes M17/M18 magazines, MP7 magazines, Tommygun magazines? 4) Is it possible to make a left handed straight pull pistol that has the bolt handle moved forward closer to the barrel? 5) can you make a version similar to the Nosler model 48NCH but add a pistol brace just to piss off certain members of Congress?
This was hard to watch. I get explaining it like you are walking someone that has no clue through the process but dam. You guys should atleast know what parts/tools are called.
I get what you’re saying, but as a total newbie, this video was perfect for me. I got the information I needed to get myself started on looking into these things so that’s what mattered.
Well now you have, but you also really need to shoot one to know what we're all about :) It really is a great time to be a precision bolt-gun shooter as there are certainly a few really nice actions to choose from. While our action is certainly something special, what sets us about is our customer service so feel free to be in touch if you'd like to connect with us.
Get a defiance action and a proof research shouldered prefit barrel. You don’t need a ugly barrel nut . You torque it to 90 lbs and your done.. no recoil lug needed, it’s machined into receiver with picatinny rail , no screws or pins.. far superior to this! Plus you get a solid bolt handle, throw it into a chasis.. built mine and have a 5 shot one hole group, first time shooting! 2 parts not 5 .. less stacking of tolerances! These actions are over priced! A defiance ruckus action is 1300 and nitride coated, it’s 2 pieces, this is 5 pieces!
Good question. In some ways, yes. Prefit Savage barrels are the preferred method of many of our users as it allows users to swap calibers more easily without having to go to a Gunsmith every time. You can check out our other video, "How to Swap a Bolt Head on a Bolt Action Receiver," to find out how ua-cam.com/video/MfflZmoA28o/v-deo.html But our Bolt Action will also work with shouldered barrels as well.
@@pristineactions thank you for taking the time to reply.. I have wanted to get into a custom bolt gun for a very long time AND IT APPEARS "YOU" HAVE MADE THE DREAM EVEN MORE ATTAINABLE... THANKS AGAIN AND I'LL BE LOOKING VERY HEAVY AT YOUR COMPANY FOR MY NEEDS AND DESIRES
We haven't worked with iron sights personally. But there is nothing stopping you from mounting iron sights on your action and barrel. It's a personal preference.
@@johnsmith-by3yg how would you know. The didn’t shoot it! I do figure with the solid action and a good barrel and ammo tuned for it that it will be extremely accurate
@@billylee2312 I have to agree with John Smith. Accuracy involves the monkey pulling the trigger. You can have the worlds most precision built rifle with the best target node ammo tuned, but in the hands of a monkey pulling the trigger? Figure out how accurate the rifle will be.
Could extending the receiver and barrel threads by 2 - 4 inches assist with barrel harmonics? Do they take AR 15, AR-10, BAR, 30 carbine, Barrett magazines? Does a bullup bolt action or pump action rifle exist? Do you make a chassis stock or traditional stock with a thumbhole? Have you thought about making A BOLT ACTION AR Variant? Can you guys make an updated version of the Nosler Model 48 pistol into a bullup bolt, or straight pull, pump action rifle that also takes AR15, AR-10 BAR, 30 carbine, and Barrett magazines? Could you make a rifle that uses updated M60 barrels and M240? barrels
Hahaha, I am guessing you guys get your licenses from cornflakes boxes. What you are doing is assembling a rifle from manufactured parts. Building a rifle requires cutting and shaping raw steel and wood to fit together. haha, got me with the clickbait.
if u guys are gonna charge 1300$ for an action, why don't you offer any decent calibers? If the barrels are easy to swap out, barrel life wouldn't even matter as much
Hi there, currently we offer a short-action receiver, which is compatible with all short-action calibers. We achieve this through three different sized bolt heads to cover the array of caliber choices. We will also be releasing a long-action receiver within the next few months so Pristine customers will be able to continue shooting all sorts of great calibers for a long time to come. Personally, I really enjoy the 6MM ARC, which uses our .445 in. sized bolt head.
