    6.5 Creedmoor build not running until I cut buffer spring?

    So I recently just finished up a 6.5 creedmoor build using all aero components except a 16 inch faxon barrel and superlative adjustable gas block. When I put the aero enhanced 308 carbine buffer tube kit, I noticed the spring was very tight. I dimpled the barrel with a jig to make sure I had...

    Superlative Arms adjustable gas block tuning on a 16" 6.5 Creedmoor

    Just finishing up a build with a Faxon barrel and would like to get the gas block adjusted somewhat before I start load development so I don't damage my brass. From what I've been reading, it'll probably be way over gassed. Has anyone been able to adjust the gas block on these with the bleed...

    Faxon Barrel for a lightweight 6.5 creedmoor build or something else?

    Because I'll be carrying it for long distances. I also won't be doing mag dumps out of it hunting so heating up will not be an issue.

    Faxon Barrel for a lightweight 6.5 creedmoor build or something else?

    Any of the 6.5 creedmoor. I think there's a big difference between a 5.56 and a 6.5

    Faxon Barrel for a lightweight 6.5 creedmoor build or something else?

    Don't really have a max weight but I figure the closer I can get to under 2.5 pounds, the better. Trying to build a 7 pound bare rifle.

    Faxon Barrel for a lightweight 6.5 creedmoor build or something else?

    Not limiting myself to anything. None of these are relatively lite or short enough. That's why I asked :)

    Faxon Barrel for a lightweight 6.5 creedmoor build or something else?

    Just a 20 unfortunately. Doesn't make it a very well handling rifle with a can.

    Faxon Barrel for a lightweight 6.5 creedmoor build or something else?

    I'm looking to build a lightweight 6.5 Creedmoor in an 18 inch barrel maximum size for a lightweight thermal hunting rig. After doing some research, there's not a lot out there. Seems like only thing I can find in stock is a Faxon, Rainier arms ultramatch mod 2 or a carbon fiber BSF. Was...

    Anyone have/shoot a 25 DTI?

    So I'm looking to put together another rifle for thermal hunting and came across this caliber. Seems like it has a good following over at predator masters. Right now I'm using a 6 mm Creedmoor and would really love to back to a small frame AR for weight and compactness. Right now I'm shooting...

    Anyplace make a lightweight 6mm creedmoor barrel in 20 inch?

    The Odin barrel is a very heavy profile. It's just way too heavy the way it is. Was thinking of building something with carbon fiber components to get close to 7 pounds. The 6.5 grendel kills them with good shot placement. You don't always get that with runners. We go pig hunting a couple a...

    Anyplace make a lightweight 6mm creedmoor barrel in 20 inch?

    Yeah, I've already got one. Does ok on the coyotes but not real good on the pigs when you start slinging led on the big groups of running pigs. I've got a 6 creedmoor now that I built with an Odin 22" inch barrel that's a great shooter. Does a great job, just way too heavy. Was thinking...

    Anyplace make a lightweight 6mm creedmoor barrel in 20 inch?

    No go on the BSF, like I said in the original post. Not sure the Bartlein are lightweight. That lead time is also terrible.

    Anyplace make a lightweight 6mm creedmoor barrel in 20 inch?

    Was thinking of building a light hunting Ar but really don't want to go with a 22 inch barrel. Seems like proof only makes a 22 or 24. Also, not interested in a BSF as my buddy tried one and had all kinds of issue with it from functioning to signs of overpressure way under max load. Anyone...

    Want to build a lightweight AR10 in 6.5 Creedmoor

    How much lighter are the 2a upper and receivers versus an Aero? I can't imagine they can shave that much weight off those parts being a DPMS pattern.

    Want to build a lightweight AR10 in 6.5 Creedmoor

    I'd probably be happy with something under 8 pounds. I'd rather have something that runs like a sewing machine than something light and finicky. Thinking of using an aero upper and lower, standard area bcg, jp high pressure bolt, slr adjustable gas block, smoke handguard, and proof barrel with...

    Want to build a lightweight AR10 in 6.5 Creedmoor

    So I'm looking to put together a lightweight large frame AR for hog and coyote hunting with a thermal. I've been eyeing a Christensen Arms ca-10g2 which come in at 7.2 lbs without an optic. Is it possible to build something that light or is it something they've mastered? I have an Aero upper...
