This Saturday Showcase features some of the most innovative products that have redefined quality and effectiveness. The impressive new NEXUS one-stage press by Short Action Customs is first on the list. We then feature Bix’N Andy Triggers, which are popular with competitors across many disciplines, from short-range Benchrest to ELR. Bix’N Andy triggers will be used on more rifles now that Jewell units are harder to find. We feature the IDOD machine by F-Class Products, the best automated neck-turner that has ever been created.
We have two interviews from SHOT Show 2020 as a bonus. The first interview covers the Bullet Central product line, while the second examines the latest and greatest rifle action from BAT Machine.
Short Action Customs NEXUS Press
Short Action Customs’ (SAC) innovative single-stage presses was one of the most notable products at SHOT Show 2020. The design of the new $775 NEXUS Press is impressive. The NEXUS Press has dual cam-over pucks that precisely stop the movement. SAC explains that they wanted the Nexus Press to cam-over independently from the shell holder. Every cycle of the press your hard cam-over rollers limit the travel which gives you the exact amount of cam every cycle. The press can be adapted to various diameter dies by floating inserts on the top section. The NEXUS has a floating holder system that is quick-change and toolless. SAC claims that this shell holder allows.010″ more sizing compared to all other shell holders available.
Bix’N Andy Triggers
BulletCentral.com offers the best German-made Bix’N Andy triggers. Bix’N Andy’s triggers come in two-stage and single-stage designs. They are smooth, precise, and repeatable. The internal friction-reducing roller-ball system is unique and allows for a very low reset force. This results in a crisp let-off. Bix’N Andy can be fitted with a wide range of trigger shoes to suit the shooter’s preference. Bullet Central is the official USA importer of Bix’N Andy Triggers.
F-Class Products IDOD AutoDod Neck-Turning machine
Bryan Blake, an extremely clever gunsmith and machinist, has created a neck-turning device that is both fast and precise. Bryan Blake, who runs Blake Machines, Blake Barrels, and F-Class Products, has created a system which uses twin precision cutters to turn casenecks inside out quickly and efficiently with superior precision. This advanced IDOD Neck Turning Machine securely holds cases in a precision machined spindle connected to an electric motor. The necks are milled inside and outside by twin blades that move precisely. The necks are always perfectly turned, and the shoulders are trimmed to perfection (with the doughnut removed).
If you are a shooter who turns hundreds of cases in a season, an IDOD by F-Class Products may be the right choice for you. The Blake IDOD’s efficiency is due to its vibration-free motor and high-mass cases holder, as well as its precision OD/ID adjustable cutter. It also has an advanced tracking system which moves the cutter heads from the case neck towards the cutter head (and vice versa) with absolute, repeatable precision.
