just sold this. Made the buyer aware of all the issues.
Hes having me send it straight to BMC for a delrin barrel bushing.
will report back how it goes!

[Chuck E Ducky]

It would be fairly easy to fix the issues at hand on the V1. A Delrin bushing would do wonders for the slop. Or clearance the slide at the back to fit an ASP cocker body and use a Doc Bull Cocker freak barrel. I’m planning on using a different feed anyway my round one would fit that slide easily as is it’s much more low profile then the CCI one.

Hopefully, they can get it squared away and the spec right. I will buy one if they can get it right.

Holy crap guys these were milled in America

I was going easy on them bc I thought they got shafted by crappy overseas machining

As much as it sucks, I think domestic quality is just as varied as the cheapest import. It's all about the person, the equipment, and the communication. And I've met some American manufacturers who tend to communicate through a glass bottle more often than not. One foundry I used, the owner was unreachable after lunch, or unintelligible if I reached him.

I'm happy to hear that Nova produced in the US. Both because I want to encourage US manufacturing, and because they'll likely have more recourse to fix issues easily. Good shops certainly cost a lot more here, though.

If anyone cares, my advice is always to have 2-3 domestic suppliers with overlapping but distinct capabilities, and a foreign broker. Get a prototype guy who loves the challenge but isn't tooled for volume, a production guy, and a backup for when one of the others is slammed. Then get a foreign shop for the high-touch, low impact parts that take forever but nobody notices, like a Spyder VASA with two big threads, machining on four sides, and no moving parts. Sometimes the cheap labor on the dumb stuff makes a fair wage on the important stuff viable, without the whole project going over budget.

Low volume production is tricky in that way. You really need to choose your battle, because you don't have time or volume to optimize and automate everything. At very least, though, the design intent has to be there. Words are cheap.

Horses mouth says made in south carolina

[Chuck E Ducky]

I don’t think they were. I thought they were scanned and sent over seas to get manufactured.
