New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge
- Thread starter Gtscotty
- Start date
I picked up CATs 6arc can to dedicate to mine and love it. Shot at a local indoor range yesterday with it and had zero gas to the face, and sounded great when Ive shot it outdoors as well. 18” rlgs with a5h2 and springo green spring it shoots very smooth
About to pop my cherry on a 6ARC. I do run and gun shit so absolute accuracy and MV is not as important as a package that shoots about MOA and is handy over 3-8 miles.
Pulling down my 14.5” intermediate gas upper and replacing with a Noveske Afghan 14.5, will have a P&W Surefire three prong and if I run a can it’ll be a 7.62 RC2.
Have some Duramags on the way as well as 4 different bullets, from 95gr to 107.
Leaving brass along a course is gonna suck,,, but I think this may be a little advantage in the DMR style R&Gs without going to the weight and recoil of a large frame. We’ll see..
If I like it, will probably wear a 4-16x42 ATACR eventually. Will start with either the G3 1-10 that’s on it now or I’ll move a 3-15 NXS F1 over, though that gonna be choncky with a red dot up top .

Yep, I run a CAT Noah Ti on my main 6 ARC and it's pretty great in that application for gas and suppression. My B&T RBS 762 also does well with the little ARC.
Opinions please. Rifle is upside down in pic. Installed this mlok pic rail for the bipod mount. Seems to be minimal clearance between the mlok screw and gas block. With the bipod installed if I push down on the barrel only I can feel it make contact, but without pressure there’s no contact. Is this going to be an issue, or do I need to grind the screw down or move the mount altogether?

Looks like you can loosen the mlok screws and slide the pic rail forward a little and then tighten it back down.
Just fyi, I have started running my bipods a little further back on the rail of my gas guns(toward the receiver)and I still get great stability but have noticed slightly less deviation on target than running the bipod all the way out toward the muzzle.
You can use a 7 slot pic rail and completely bridge over the gas block. Its what I ended up doing to make sure no contact.
Finally got the parts painted up with Alumahyde and put together this weekend, and a Rexus Ultra bolt on the way. I will say the BFK upper was a bit too interference fit with my barrel, even freezing the barrel and lightly torching the receiver threads, the rubber mallet had to put in some work to get the barrel in far enough that I could fully seat it with the barrel nut.
