Gunsmithing AR 10 in 260 cerakoted in MC

[tpowers]

This rifle was on display at shot show in the cerakote booth. It is my AR10 in 260 that I put together. The 260 Tac Match reamer was used. The goal is to be able to use the same basic cartridge in my bolt gun as I would in a gas gun. It is a Bartlein Barrel and the BCG has been ionbonded. The parts are mostly DPMS and the lower is a CMMG.


Most of these parts are available through a conjunction of CS Tactical and myself.

Nice stick. Need a range report? Who cut the chamber and assembled the Upper?

If you don't mind which colors of Cerakote did you use?

Most of the colors are custom blends of my own. Highland green and patriot brown are 2 colors that are off the shelf.

I did most of the work myself. In the initial break in it was around 1/2 MOA with 5 shot groups.
It may be awhile before I'm able to get it out to the range again because I need to start focusing on up coming competitions, and I still haven't broken in my new barreled 260.

Nice work Todd - let us know how it runs/reliability...etc

pondering a 260 in bolt or Semi........

Re: AR 10 in 260 cerakoted in MC

I think if you want ultimate reliability then I'd go with a bolt rifle. A gas gun typically will not be as accurate as a bolt gun. There are a good amount of things that can go wrong with a gas gun.
However, there are a lot of areas that a gas gun will dominate over a bolt gun. It's all about the trade offs and what the mission specific of the firearm.
