    22 ARC. 5r or 6 groove

    I'm building a 22 ARC AR. My ideal barrel is a 20 inch with rifle +2 gas. I'm having a hard time finding anything but barging bin barrels. I dont want to wait 8 months and I don't want to spend $800. Which lead me to X Caliber barrels. I have a choice between 5r and 6 groove. Which...

    Thanks for all the info. Supports what I was finding but I wanted to ask those in the know instead of relying on google.

    M995 Action good for anything?

    Havnt shot it in years. I'm mostly wondering what kind of aftermarket support it has with prefit barrels, chassis, triggers, etc.

    M995 Action good for anything?

    This is not the same project or I would have mentioned it in the other thread. My m995 is right handed. I want to build my son a left handed bolt. I just thought I'd ask because I'm finding that Sako (Tikka) actions are respected and valued.

    Thanks for all the info, I have installed 1 savage barrel with a nut and go/ no go gauge. As I recall it was fairly easy. I was just not visualizing the shouldered prefit thing.

    Ok. What kinda torque wrench do you use with shouldered prefits?

    So pardon my ignorance, but other than asthetics, what's wrong with a barrel nut? And how is the barrel secured without one?

    The urban rifleman. Never heard of them. Looks like they made at least 1 good barrel.

    I'm not seeing what you mean with the UR prefit. I don't see them offer barreled actions.

    M995 Action good for anything?

    Turns out I have a Sako 7mm with a M995 action. I havnt used the rifle in years. In my recent research on building a Tikka based rifle for my son it occurs to me that maybe this is a good action. But I don't know. Is this an outdated action or is it worth building a chassis rifle off of?

    Tikka build? Whos gonna talk me into a custom?

    Yes. It was discussed further up the thread. Not important to most but it is to me.

    Is there an action I should look at that locks the bolt when on safe? And please don't say Savage.

    And if I was on here worried about barrel life I'd be told that barrels are made to be replaced like tires and to go be poor somewhere else. Anyway... glad yall love 223. But I don't.

    Ummm. No. 223 is lame. For p dogs and coyotes it's ok. I don't do "ok". Fast twist 250 or 22 creed is where its at. I really don't see this as a comp gun. I realize many if not most guys on the Hide are comp shooters, but in SD we tend to prefer warm targets.

    I dont think so. At least not in the US and left handed.
