Re: New GAP Rifle: Gladius!
That is due to the overwhelming requests for people to copy my Gladius build so George is including it as a standard GAP build now based off my specs.

Mind giving us a few of the build notes on it?
I'm also very curious to hear what the weight comes in at.
Thanks Lowlight!

Re: New GAP Rifle: Gladius!
It's just my 18.5" 308. Same one in the Youtube videos
it was built off an 700 action, but we added the side bolt release, badger bottom metal, Manners T2A stock with the multicam paint. 18.5" GAP Contour Barrel <span style="font-style: italic">(Remington 5.5 varmint or close too)</span> Bartlien tight bore .298 and Surefire Brake for my 762SS suppressor.

Re: New GAP Rifle: Gladius!
Guessing that is a dip as opposed to Todd doing the paint.
If you look at the photos it has the Multicam logo in it. Just guessing Todd is not painting the word Multican on his stuff.

Re: New GAP Rifle: Gladius!
Its definatly dipped. I have been using Dynamic Finishes here in KC, they do great work.
Todd does great work but we wanted a consistant color and pattern for this rifle. + Todd is BUSY enough as it is.

The SureFire suppressor only mounts to our adaptors. So if you wanted to run a surefire can you would have to use one of our brakes, flash hiders or compensators that the suppressor locks onto.

they build them on the remington action to replicate Franks rifle.

Re: New GAP Rifle: Gladius!
LL or someone in the know:
Benefit of going with the T2A instead of the T4A? Was it the .3 lb or so weight saving? Or a personal preference not to use a butt-hook style stock in favor of one that arguably rides a rear bag better?

Re: New GAP Rifle: Gladius!
hmmm... T5A + Surgeon + Rock ... not exactly the same, but I definitely see more direction for my build...

Sounds like a great build, but why bother posting that here? That is nothing like the Gladius, and the whole point of this thing is that it is a proven design that hinges around the selected components.

Re: New GAP Rifle: Gladius!
The reason I went with the T2A is I like that better. I was not as big a fan of the T4, though if the T5 was available I would probably went with that, as I like that stock from Tom a lot.
Prior, the T2A was my favorite and I didn't see the need for anything like a butt hook on this rifle.
