Net65 you are going to give me flashbacks bringing up all the old Gen1 bolt problems. I think everyone could breath a little bit easier when the bolt design changed and we got rid of the bushings in the bolt face. From reading your list everything you mentioned has been addressed, I'm positive you would be much happier now.
Not sure if you are the same individual I've been speaking with on Facebook but I'll post here as well. I'm a couple days late to this forearm party, but here you go.
Gen1 - Quad Rail, keyed, SRS
Gen2 - Quad Rail, keyed, SRS, Covert (compatible* with Gen1)
A1 hybrid - Top Rail, keyed, SRS, Covert(compatible* with Gen1, Gen2)
*May not align perfectly, and may require some paint removal or addition to align perfect with a snug fit
A1 - Top Rail, SRS, Covert (Not backwards compatible)
A2 - Keymod, SRS, Covert (Not backwards compatible)
Buttpads - *Note* - the A1 hybrid buttpad, was used only as an upgrade for Gen1, 2. A1 hybrid rifles have the actual A1 buttpad setup with the hook.
Gen1 (meat tenderizer) - Release button slid into panel
Gen2 (meat tenderizer) - To accomodate monopod, release button slid up into assembly (compatible with Gen1 but will leave a small empty hole in your buttstock, unless you upgrade panels too)
A1 hybrid (soft rubber) - Release built into spacers, Does not have the top hook to lock into the stock panel (higher risk of breaking locking tabs than standard A1, built for Gen1 and Gen2)
A1 (soft rubber) - Release built into spacers, Incorporated the top hook to lock into the panels(Not backwards compatible without modifications to spacers, or panels)

I have a monopod on my srs a1 that’s not working. Do I need to send back for repair?
Honestly depends on what the problem is and if you are handy with parts. Sometimes we are able to walk the user through a simple fix.
If you would like to message me your problem we can see what our next step is.
Who do you guys recommend for getting a custom barrel spun up for my DT? Looking at an improved cartridge, possibly a 300NM imp or 338 Lapua imp
Short Action Customs
ES Tactical
DMR-LLC
I've had barrels from SAC (Bartlein) and DMR (Hawk Hill). Both were incredible barrels. I've read lots of good review of ES Tactical barrels, but haven't personally used one.
I have two barrels from SAC (both Bartleins) and one from ES Tactical (Proof steel). They all are tack drivers. I haven't tried DMR yet but have heard good things about their work. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.
Yes sir, I'm excited to jump back into the Desert Tech game. Gonna wait till I hear a few more reports on the new trigger system. So far I've heard one account of "it feels pretty good" and one account of it feels "cheap". Still trying to figure out why you guys put a threaded hole in the bottom of the chassis, and didn't just make the first several inches of the hand guard Acra.
Yep, that pretty much mirrors my thoughts. Could have even made the area in front trigger guard arca as well.
@DTDustin despite my personal views of any given product. I (we) do appreciate company reps braving the sometimes turbulent waters of SH to interact with us.

sweet setup! What’s the length of your barrel? What do you think the longest one this case can handle in an SRS A-1?
Thanks! It’s a 26in and with a muzzle brake, I think that is as long as you can go.

Call Greg at Primal Rights, I believe TS Customs runs his DT barrels through Greg. I have a 22” 7LRM from TS, it shoots consistently under 1/2” MOA, very happy with it performance. I bought the full rifle through Primal Rights so not sure the price of the barrel.

The new design is quite a bit different, and will not "drop in", as it is not just a trigger shoe anymore.
No. The only available adjustment for the user is the pull weight.

What's the deal with having to remove the burrs of the feed lips on my the magazine that came with my new SRS A1 in 308?
Feeding cartridges was nearly impossible until I did it and when they would finally feed it was like you ran a saw over the shoulder as they made an extremely deep cut in the brass.
I'm not the first one to note having to do this but it's kind of disappointing on an $80+ magazine and something I've never had to do on my AIAT or CTR magazines of which I have 20 of them between the 2 brands.
Also, is it normal for my handguard rail to be slightly off alignment wise? It's not much but it's off. enough that bridging an optic wouldn't be a good idea.
I've never owned a SRS before now but it's kind of disappointing QC so far compared to my AIAT and even my T3x CTR.

Sorry to hear about that poor experience with the magazine, you should not have had to do that. We will give our inventory a look today. If your magazine still needs some love I recommend you contact our warranty department to get you taken care of. As for you forearm alignment, it is possible to experience a very slight mis-alignment, however I recommend you contact warranty with a photo at [email protected], so they can see what you are experiencing.
I took a couple of pictures and sent off an e-mail. Thanks for responding!
Found it, apologies
Care to share?
It looks like they are mainly for the mid-length calibers like the WSM's if I am reading the posts following that correctly?
If they made them for standard and long action I'd be all over them.
Do you guys know if the RRS Arca mount will work on the A2? @coldboremiracle I am looking to buy a RRS DT mount. Or do I need to buy a Pictanny rail mount with M-Lok?
The RRS mount is made specifically for the A1, it attaches via the screw holes in the handguard. I would guess that anyone with a little mechanical prowess could figure out how to make it fit in the MLOK slots. But that has yet to be tried as far as I know.
It sounds like you want the rifle to have Arca Swiss grooves molded into the skins, I think it best to use an adapter attached to the rifle. Made to fit, it would cradle the gun and attach to the provided hole. Most likely aluminum. Strong.
No I’m not really a fan of attaching to a tripod that close to the trigger guard, even though it’s the balance point on these rifles. RRS makes a good solution for these rifles.
Hey guys i am hoping you can help with this. So i also recently purchased a Desert tech from EuroOptic. My problem is i have a Silencerco omega suppressor with the ASR mount. If i use the the silencerco harvester muzzle break, will i be ok using the omega 300 ASR mount? On their website it shows the ASR mount with options (https://www.store.silencerco.com/co...arvester-big-bore-asr-mount?variant=971484716). and it includes the harvester big bore and hybrid. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i want to use the cans i have purchased, but also DO NOT want to go direct thread only.
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!
Deano, I think it's because most of the guys competing have a sponsor and are using specific actions. I would love to try a HTI with the .375 Chey Tac, I just use my free funds on all the other guns I have. Are you still back East?
Waveslayer,
Youd think that DTA would get into the game and sponsor a shooter, with a rifle using their ammo and trasol for data it would seem like the perfect way to promote their system.
I'm in balmy ND. -4 and a winter storm warning. Feels like -28 outside right now. Better than -30f with a feels like temp of -50 like last week. Almost rather live in alaska, it'd be warmer!

How does the SRS shoot in 300 Win Mag? The conversions seem to be hard to find now which seems to indicate that they weren't that popular or didn't work right?
I think I'd rather go 300WM instead of 338LM as I don't need the range of 338LM and I have lots of heavy 308 bullets to use.
Is there a good place to find a kit at hopefully less than full retail?

They're is a weight limit and I think it changed from 50 to 45 this last year. Not sure if they dropped more or not. But with tubbs $10k for a winner with a gun 25lbs or less, it might be a decent platform.
The 416B would be a fun round. Nice thing about the HTI is that a guy could start with the 375ct and move up to the 416B if they wanted more. Cut a longer tube for those long spun bullets with the Correct twist and have fun.

Youre right the conversation is pretty quiet about them like they just arent around. Especially as of late. I was at a lgs a couple days ago and they had a sea covert in 338lapua. It was a pretty short package, decent weight, but it had an 18" barrel, youd better have a can or that would be crazy loud.
Xdeano
I didn’t know about the prize for a sub 25lb gun. Anyone want to set up an HTI team? I’m game.
Not sure why the 300WM isn’t more popular. I’m moving from the 6.5SAUM to the 264WM because the 264 feeds so much better. Maybe it’s a recoil thing?
