I'd really like a group buy on all of that....working on trading some stuff atm for a bolt and barrel now.
Just picked up my SRSA1 today. I’ve been thinking about picking up a ES tactical barrel in 300prc. What’s the verdict these barrels?
I have two barrels from ES Tactical. The first is a 284 Winchester (Proof barrel) and the other is a 308 Winchester (K&P barrel). Both are tack drivers and turn around time was very reasonable; about 3 to 4 weeks.
Can’t speak to ES Tactical, but I definitely recommend 300 prc if you haven’t shot it. I only shoot factory ammo and have had great results with Hornady ELDM at a very reasonable price.
If anyone else is having lazy ejection from their gen 2 standard bolt I bought these on Amazon to try a while back. Still not quite as strong as I'd like but it does have a little more pep. They may fit other bolts as well. I'll see how it lasts.
Eta: can't get the link to work. Uxcell .5mmx3mmx20mm 304 stainless steel compression springs. $5 for 10

Mine breaks cleanly and consistently at 1.5 lbs. I really like it. I don’t like it as much as the Trigger Tech Diamond, but it’s very, very good.
Can anyone confirm the trigger pull weight screw is M4-0.7 and 8mm long? Also, it's a flat tip, right? When I was looking for a replacement, I saw some that had a pointed tip. Mine backed out and I didn't notice until I was at a match

Does anyone know a reliable source of proof reasearch steel barrel replacements for the SRS? All I've found so far is one place that does carbon fiber barrels.
I think ES Tactical uses Proof stainless blanks. I don't believe he has inventory of finished barrels though. You have to order one.
Short Action Customs or Special Purpose Rifles should be able to hook you up if you ask
I hate to bump my own question, but...

I bought M4-0.7 set screws, but it's almost like it's not thick enough. If I push down while I'm trying to thread it in, it feels like it's slipping past the threads, so it might be M5 or not metric?
Edit: Disregard. I found it's an M5

I’m sure

My
300 PRC is a proof barrel chambered by SAC and it’s awesome.
That's exactly what I'm looking to order. Thank you.
Couldn’t recommend it more. Mark told me this was their first Proof research DT barrel! Consider me a trendsetter!
He did at one time. My 6.5 creed is a Proof blank
2 things:
1) Mark (SAC) said a lot of guys are having great luck w/ Varget and 73gr ELD-M in his 223 conversion. Anyone have some load data for that setup they care to share?
2) if anyone wants a 6.5 Creed covert barrel , I have one I need to sell in the PX to pay for said 223 conversion

I'm thinking about using some of my bonus money to pick up a Covert in 6.5 creedmoor and join the Desert Tech club. Does anyone around Northern Virginia or the surrounding area have one I can test drive? I'm happy to buy beer afterwards.
Wait you dont?
No, your rifle will function without one, but your bolt throw will be a little longer for your short action cartridges.
Mine actually works better without it. Brass is less likely to bounce off my hand and back into the port.

Middle pic is the 10rd mag.
The bolt stop does help me with speed.
I haven’t used the bolt stop in years. I have a couple floating around.
Where did you get that buttstock pad? That would be a nice add to my Gen1 SRS

Read Bottom of page 225 in the thread
Thanks
Do you know if DT Solutions still sells them?
Idk. I think it was a limited run. Try contacting him. It’s a nice butt stock. Comfy.
That company is gone
Bummer
I’d buy two if he was doing them
Irrc SAC might have had something similar in the works. Id be in for two as well.
Irrc SAC?
