Photos AR.243WSSM

[blksno]

OK, so I have had some pics up for a while but I finally got the first coat of Cerakote on last week. 2-3 more layers to complete the camo pattern are in the works. (the can is not done because it belongs to my cousin, YHM said I will still be waiting till Nov/Dec for my Phantom to show up)
Enjoy

Re: AR.243WSSM

Looks great! I've been thinking about a build around this caliber. How does she shoot? Can you post some targets?

Re: AR.243WSSM

shoots great, except about 1/6 doesn't eject properly. either the case wont fully fly out or the bolt slams back shut before its ejected, not quite sure, need a slo-mo view to find out. as for targets, the only two I have on hand aren't a very good representation of how great it shoots. Oh, and modifying mags sucks, and buying them is even worse.
Last fall half way through the break in.
3 shots with 75gr VMax and 35.7gr of varget. .867" at 200m

the only other picture I have taken of groups is of a video I recently made shooting 5 test loads of RL17 using 105gr Lapua Scenars to make sure 105's wouldn't keyhole on me
a respectable group for the powder variance

And if you miss them.....just poke them with the end of the can....

With the can on that is one LONG stick.

Re: AR.243WSSM

ever manage to get the slop worked out of your CAA stock.

I had an SRS on an ar10 that had way to much slop in it and sold it for a PRS.

Re: AR.243WSSM

I guess mine doesnt have much for slop. I did however mannage to lose the spring on the inside of the push button for adjusting the length of pull...but CAA sent me a freebie lickity split. the only downside I can come up with is the pod tends to snags on my ghillie when I got it on my back...but then again, so does the charge handle and the scope caps so its a problem I am willing to deal with. I was going to go with the PRS and when i do my next build that is probably what i will use...but only because you can get monopods anywhere where now.
