Spend a little bit more and look at Defions Arms. Jason is a great dude and you get a fully custom built open gun for about the best price you will be able to find.

DLC wins in all categories from lubricity to surface strength.

Your best bet is going to be small name builders that still work on other builders guns. You will find a better response if there is a smaller builder semi-local to you.

This is how I oil/grease my open guns and have never had an issue. I have switched to Lucas red N tacky instead of Slide Glide Lite however. I also only shoot in sub 50degree temps maybe once a year.

Uhh yeah... not sure why this is a question, prices at atlas have become outrageous for no custom features. My last SV was over 1,000 cheaper than the V2.

Weird, if I built a gun and bullets were tumbling on target, I would not ship that gun.

There is zero chance my previous atlas was function fired before leaving the shop, I had baffle strikes occurring on the first shot.

Used to have PT grip when I still had an Atlas, both my SVs now have grippe signature steel grips with aggressive grip tape. Will never go back to a micro pocket style grip again. Texture is rough and smooth feeling in the hands, never feel like I'm slipping when using the 60grit. Not a fan of the 120 grit griptape.

Want to shoot a ton of rounds? Shoot them in practice. Don't want to still get 41% hung on you at a "low round count" major? Don't sign up. The price tag is irrelevant for rounds shot. You pay for the stage design which will be good as Stoeger is helping set it up, and to shoot against people better than you to see where you are at according to a broader geographical region.

My SVP barrel is faster than any old barrel.

Completely unloaded, wrists above shoulders, target at 7yds, 1.7 is a good number to aim for.

The snow fencing makes it more enjoyable to watch. It also helps with the safety factor as ROs can view the shooter at all times during a stage.

Bingo!

Could have ordered an SV in November and you'd also have it in 7 months.
