    6mm ARC or 6.5 Grendel query..

    If it matters, AAC dropped their Grendel loads. 123gr FMJ is $13.99/20rd. That's pretty good for brass cased reloadable ammo.

    What AR15 cartridge is a worthwhile step up from 5.56?

    So you've shot both Grendel and 6ARC to make these comparisons?

    What AR15 cartridge is a worthwhile step up from 5.56?

    Nah. 6ARC is very cool and shoots great, but it doesn't make anything obsolete. Grendel factory brass ammo is out there at $0.80/rd ($0.75/rd when the AAC ammo is in stock), which is 25% cheaper than 6ARC. If PSA gets around to making steel cased Grendel ammo, prices will drop even further...

    6mm max

    Since you really just need a barrel and a couple of DuraMags, and SOLGW will replace your barrel for free if and when you shoot it out -- seems like a decently low-cost way to try out something new in an AR15. Ammo is $1.50/rd right now, but even if you have a minimal handloading setup you...

    I guess the Navy is also Nazis, yeah?

    6mm max

    Where the heck are the barrels? SOLGW seems to dribble out a dozen or so once every couple of months.

    6mm max

    BC Precision is out of stock on their initial batch of SOLGW 6Max barrels, so someone is buying them... Anyone see or hear anything about initial end-user results?

    Lookin for a 7.62x39 Bolt Gun - Options (?)

    If you handload, 6.5 Grendel in a bolt gun is awesome. Hopefully Palmetto State Armory's forthcoming 123gr 6.5G ammo will be less than $1/rd - that would really open up access to factory ammo again. My Howa Mini action in 6.5G with custom "Howage" barrel in Boyd's Agility stock:

    Ruger SFAR small frame 308, 6.8 pounds

    A few posts up is a link to one user's comprehensive teardown and AR15 comparison. He says the SFAR upper uses standard AR15 barrel nut threads and the SFAR barrel fits into a standard AR15 upper. Sounds to me like you could definitely use AR15 handguards, provided it's OK to cover up the hole...

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

    I had to have a gunsmith reprofile the feed cone in my Faxon 6.5CM AR308 barrel so VLDs would not hang up. The factory Faxon profile is way too abrupt and short. Maybe they have fixed this, but when I contacted them they were not interested in hearing any feedback. Not a huge Faxon fan after...

    POF Revolution Piston AR10

    I have POF Rogue 16.5", and so far I've swapped out: - handguard + barrel nut (handguard anti-rotation tabs even fit perfectly on upper) - muzzle device (it is 5/8x24RH threaded) - pistol grip - charging handle - ambi safety right side lever (interchangeable with BAD-ASS levers) - mag catch...

    Pre-fits for Howa Mini action?

    Crown Ridge Barrel Works.

    Bolt 6mm ARC

    This is the correct answer. Crown Ridge Barrel Works makes a great replacement barrel that comes with a barrel nut for easy head spacing.

    Gunsmithing Cutting barrels to length with a band saw

    Yep, same. I've even threaded the barrels I've cut using hand tools. For barrels that don't need to mount suppressors, that also works just fine.
  15. vmpglenn

    New CZ rifle series ?

    For shooting suppressed, I 100% prefer bolt guns over ARs. With good mag capacity and a 60deg bolt throw these should run pretty darned fast if you need follow-up shots.

    Howa Mini Action 6.5 Grendel re-barrel

    After having less than stellar results with the factory 20" threaded barrel, I decided I would try a custom replacement barrel from Crown Ridge Barrel Works. I asked them to take a standard Sendero profile they had in stock (1:8 twist 5R) and custom profile the front for a Surefire MB68AR...

    Howa mini action - which stock/chassis?

    SOLD Elcan Specter/TR 7.62 Scope - $1250 Shipped

    I'll take this, pending answers to texted questions. Thank you.
  19. vmpglenn

    Scope suggestions?

    I found the 2-12 reticle pretty good for connecting with 12" plates out to 600 yards, especially dialing for elevation. That having been said, I also decided I liked the 4-20 reticle better for longer distances. I'm shooting a 6.5 Grendel Howa mini action so I definitely appreciate having good...

    Athlon FFP Helos BTR G2 2-12x42 in hand!

    The turrets on both of my Athlons are nice and crispy. I'm not a huge fan of the zero stop but it works. Love the turret locking feature.
