I can only tell you what GAP told me and that is that in .308 GAP10's you don't need the switchblock but with the 20" 6.5cm I just ordered they said I did...so I guess if your going .308 then you don't need it, also George post this same info about the .308 on a post here not too long ago:

Re: GA Precision GAP-10

It might run okay without an adjustable gas block but it will add a lot of wear and tear because of the extra gas speeding up how fast your gun cycles.

Adjustable gas blocks are great and will add life to your gun and also cut down the amount of gas you get back in your face especially if you are left handed.

11lbs. is what my MWS weighs, you get used to it. Don't forget the scope/mount and bipod, full magazine, now you are closer to 14lbs.

If weight is a concern go magpul CTR w/cheek riser if you need it.

Gotta think about all the addons...bipod+adapter is .5 or so pounds, steel rings vs aluminum...

Then there is balance. A rifle that is 9lbs and front heavy as all hell will 'feel' like more than a 10lb that is balanced properly. Not to mention harder to shoot offhand or on a bench.

Calling them and discussing what you want would be best.

Considering how well Dmack seems to like his 14.5" PWS I was thinking about a 14.5" GAP10. But then I have ADD...I think about new guns, cars and girls every week.

yeah I know....which makes a good reason to try to carve off a little weight. Beautiful piece of workmanship though....that's for sure.

BCT....I forgot about the CTR stock....maybe an 18", fluted and CTR would take a bit off.

I'm in the same boat, getting rid of my M1A EBR because of the weight and I'm planning on picking one of these up and lightening it up as much as possible.

Re: GA Precision GAP-10

I posted this in the optic section but I'll likely get more hits here...

For you guys with GAP-10s....

I'm only looking for those with 34mm tube optics w/50mm objectives. What height rings are you running on your GAP-10 and how much clearance do you have left to the top of the rail cutout? I want to go as low as I can without clearance issues.

I may be swayed by a 1-piece but nothing canted and it needs to sit lowwwww.

I don't have the scope in my hands yet or I'd figure this out myself. Thanx

Re: GA Precision GAP-10

Off the current subject but I need answers from experienced fellas. After reading this post a GAP 10 is in my future. I need a little help with an optic mount for my 30mm Leupold 4.5-14x50.

I would like a quick detach mount that sits low and is aluminum. I plan on running a Magpul PRS on the gun.

Any suggestions? Personal expericences w/ a low mount like the one I am wanting?

Greatly appreciated.

Re: GA Precision GAP-10

So I just bought an S&B PM II 5-25 x 56 with the MSR reticule for my Gap 10 build. How should I mount that Scope? I know the rifle comes with a Gap 20 MOA base do I need that to shoot to a 1000 yards? Rings?

Re: GA Precision GAP-10

Not to Change the subject but i need some help here. I Received my Gap-10 about 2 months ago..no more than 3.. and i treat it like a queen.. Its "FDE" color and supposed to be cerakote...I am noticing this "cerakote" is not holding up. Matter of fact i cleaned the rifle today(i clean using CLP, and bore tech..nothing harsh like carb cleaner etc) and i laid it down on my reloading bench. I had a couple of Kernels of Varget on the bench (wood bench) and it rubbed the cerakote off. I am concerned with this coating and would like some input on how hard this stuff is to scratch or wear off...

I found a video ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9YDCpbo_6I&feature=related
and if Cerakote is supposed to hold up like this.. maybe i should give GAP a call tomorrow and discuss my concerns.. I know i should have submitted a pic with this... however i was called out to work(offshore) and i had to put the rifle in my safe and leave home... Any and all input would be nice on the "Toughness" this coating is perceived as..
Because if i had to compare whats on my GAP to anything it would be less durable than KRYLON...
 
#534
Re: GA Precision GAP-10

Sounds like something isn't right. I don't like my rifles slippery, oily, or shiny so I clean the exterior with denatured alcohol and it doesn't hurt the cerakote. I have 3 coated rifles and clean them all the same.

7mm-08 Winchester brass, necked down in full-length sizing dies
Lapua .260 Rem bras, must also be full-length sized first to feed reliably (learned this the hard way)
Rem 9 1/2 Primers
H4350
RL17
139gr Scenars
130gr Berger VLD's
140gr Barnes Match Burners
142gr SMK's

So far, I really like my Berger 130gr loads on H4350 the best, for a 1000yd load. At 100yds, I'm shooting .4-.6" 5-round groups with that combo, and 9.25" at 1000yds.

Rifle is a laser. I went with a 22" Bartlein barrel, and get 2860fps with the 130gr. I just need to find some good bulk prices on the Bergers, because I can't afford to eat them at over $40/box.

41.5 gr h 4350, remington brass, coal 2.75", 123 gr lapua scenar, CCI #200 large rifle primers, MV = 2700 fps, very accurate load, functions flawlessly in my gap 10 in .260

Re: GA Precision GAP-10

I placed an order early this week for a GAP-10. Then I had the misfortune to change my mind about some options. Mainly after seeing different barrel lengths here and what options guys are ordering (can't see different lengths on the GA site). I contacted GA via mail order to ask about changing it, and was told since it has entered the build process, no changes. Gee, probably won't actually start building it for months and will sit in a stack of other orders until then? So I have to take it in a configuration I would rather not, because it is already in the build process? Ok.

Seems to me if a customer wants to make a change and it has truly not yet started actual build, why not charge him an admin fee for the extra time it will take to change a few entries on a computerized form and let the guy have it how he would prefer? Easy money for the company and the customer is happy. Better yet, why not just make the changes and call it customer service? I know, they've got better things to do than change my order umpteen times. I know. But if you have to tell me, go ahead.

I know this will not be well received here, so let the flaming begin.
 
#545
Re: GA Precision GAP-10

I must say that I have always liked the gap-10 and their bolt action rifles but after hearing this I would be highly pissed. There is no reason why you cannot change your configuration if the build has not started. I have the answer for you, call and cancel your build, then call JP Enterprise and place your order for a JP LRP-07. When I ordered mine I called @ least 4 different times to make changes and never ever was there a problem. And now I have had my rifle for about 6 months and it is by far the best rifle I have ever shot, and the quality is second to none. By the way I have shot the Gap-10 too, nice but not a JP.

Re: GA Precision GAP-10

<span style="font-weight: bold">30caluser: Your scope mount is installed backwards, the cantilevered section faces forward. The way it is currently installed on your rifle cants the scope up.</span>

It should be installed like this: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2645873


rain252 & jevan126:

Directly at the bottom of the work order that GAP emails you is this text:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
*****Please note it is important that you carefully review your work order prior to making a deposit. Once you O.K. a work order, no change to the order will be allowed at all: IE barrel length, colors or finishes, ETC. Cancellation and restarting the build will be our only option which is costly. see our cancellation policy HERE.********

This may seem harsh but the amount of time making these changes in the several places in the shop and updating computers dramatically affects our workflow. Not to add, calling our vendors to make the changes which affect theirs as well. Bottom line, we want the order to be correct and what you want from the moment it’s ordered and we will assist you in accomplishing that!!</div></div>

As soon as you confirm the final work order the rifle configuration is locked in. It's not like you weren't notified in advance you couldn't make changes once the order is submitted-- they're very clear.

I ordered my GAP-10 back in July (it's on the Fedex truck right now) and about a month later I saw one in FDE Cerakote and considered calling them to change... however, I had read that policy and was very aware of it so I didn't even bother to call and ask because I know they are firm on it.

It might not be what you wanted to hear but you agree to those terms when you give them the OK to proceed on the work order.

 
#547
Re: GA Precision GAP-10

Oh I never said they violated their policy. I am just asking if that is a wise policy. And I have no doubt that policy was everywhere to be read, even though I was not aware of it. But I'm not claiming they did anything at all in violation of anything. I just find it curious they would have such a policy and not have something more flexible, especially if a customer is willing to pay a reasonable fee for his change of mind?

Surely, when a rifle truly has entered the "build cycle", it would be disruptive to ask for changes. Mine entered build cycle 3 days ago when the received my deposit. But when it is literally months out, what's the big deal? I will be amazed if I get it by this summer, with what happened in Conn. Maybe not at all if our Emperor takes "executive action" and decrees these evil semi-autos are banned entirely.

And since it no doubt burdens them with doing paper changes, what would be wrong with charging a admin fee every time a customer wants to change the order, assuming it has not actually started building? Easy money and they get a happier customer?

Whatever, I will take the one I ordered. Just seems odd to me to have it such that undoubtedly there are lots of people who would be happier with the end product if there was a little flexibility. I don't own a business, but if I did, I would make it a priority to have the end customer as pleased as possible with my product if I could achieve that in a resonable way. Bottom line is if I am happy enough with it when I receive it in a configuration that was ultmately not preferred, I will keep it. If not, I will sell it.

 
#548
Re: GA Precision GAP-10

jevan126, I have a deposit down, so if I called to cancel, I'm sure they would say thanks for the $1500 deposit, see ya.
And I have no problem with a nonrefundable deposit, as I don't want to cancel it, and will take it as I ordered it.
But it just seems to me to be too rigid for changes. I understand you can't have customers calling and making 25 changes to every order, they would never get anything done. So charge them a reasonable change fee and drive on. Everybody happy.
