MDT ARAC rail 10inch for tripod

Proof CF barrel is impressive, very accurate out of box, with my handload it’s consistently .5 moa with low SD. I shot 700 yards with this rifle and got bored because it never misses. I invited a group of new shooters and they all can hit the 700 yard target quite easily.

How does it shoot. I've got a 20 inch ordered for a build that I just started , hope I choose a good barrel .

Haven't had time to try it out yet. I've been doing Chemotherapy Treatments for 2yrs and a couple of months, everything functions as should. Feeds rnds. cycling by hand and seems to eject them pretty good, I'm still debating on what scope to put on it. As soon as I get some time I'll take it out and run some down it and check function of it.

I would pay attention to your gas tube to gas key interface. At least in the past, Wilson places their rifle length gas port odd, halfway between Armalite AR-10 (15.5") and DPMS/AR-15 (15.125") length. They spec the longer gas tube, but some BCG gas keys will bottom out.

That's what happened on the first Wilson Combat Gas Tube, they gave a part number for the one that went with the Wilson Gas Block I ordered. I installed it and put the bolt in and it wouldn't mate up to the Bbl. Lugs, I scratched my head for awhile trying to figure out then noticed that the gas tube was more than half way in the cut out. The 2nd pic shows the bolt not matting up to the lugs with the Wilson Gas tube.

Pulled it out and measured it and sure enough it was long, did some research and got on line and went to White Oak and ordered two new ones, installed the White Oak Gas Tube that they recommend for that length of Bbl. and it worked the new Wilson Combat Nickel Boron Bolt that I bought with the parts made full engagement with the Bbl. 2nd pic shows full engagement of the bolt making full contact with the Bbl. Lugs

I ordered the longer gas tube from Fulton armory, WC was out of stock, and ordered the tool craft bolt so I guess it's a toss-up if I've got the right one , wilson specs the longer tube for the supersniper 20 inch barrel , but it sounds like I might need a standard length, might as well order one as they aren't that much.

 

[ironman56]

Both of those gas tubes look to be the same length to me . In the pics anyway.

 

[TJC0572]

No they are different. I have the 18" Super Sniper 308cal Bbl. But under their listing for the Bbl. I bought listed the Gas Block, and the Gas Tube to go with it, but I had to order a different length Gas Tube cause the one they sent me was to long and bottomed out on the Bolt Gas Key.

The damage to that gas tube may be caused by vertical misalignment with the gas key. The offset of the gas tube required for a large frame is around 0.062" greater than a AR-15 when using mil-spec 0.750" low profile gas blocks. It may not seem like much of a difference, but can affect alignment. Almost all gas tubes are bent to the AR-15 spec, including those sold for AR-10/308. There are a number of exceptions to the above statement(s).

I don't know what damage your referring to, that's a brand new one that got coated in oil from were I oiled the rails.

I guess it could be grease, but I thought that this pic looked chewed-up:

 

[TJC0572]

It's grease, I've cleaned it completely and lightly oiled it up and put in the safe until I can function test it.

 

[longknives]

LOL, I thought it looked chewed up as well, glad it's just grease.
