I am getting out of the DTA game. I sold off my rifle but have a 6.5x47 barrel and a standard bolt head left. I figured somebody in this thread could use one or both of them. They are posted in the accessories section of the classifieds. Thanks
- Thread starter patches
- Start date
I'm very interested although I have 22 inch bbl.
What loads are you shooting?
I asked Mark at SAC, he doesn't make them.
I might bring my head to a local guy and see what happens.
I'm getting 1,020 fps from his hottest load which is double black on the picture above. ( far right)
I bet the double purple would work good for you which shot about 950 out of my barrel. Talk to Josh there. He is the guy who just did this developing for me.
Also, those REX projectiles are incredibly accurate and the are devastating.
What grain bullets and what charge are you using? Where do I find Josh?
All a guy needs is the length and coil diameter, McMaster carr should have any spring you can think of. I will try to mess with it soon to see if I can fuck something up lol
Do it all the time. My 6.5 creed is 1.2 up and .4 right from my zero. My .223 is 1.5 up and .4 right. Easy calculations. I used to write them down and do the math in my head, but once I figured out how to do it in StrelokPro then I did it that way. Much easier when shooting on the clock.
That’s the kind of input I was looking for
Thank you
Saw this video on YouTube and saw a very interesting rifle in the first 30 or so seconds 
does this mean a military is using one?
Curious minds would like to know!
I’m aware that certain groups can use whatever they want more or less, but even if it’s the case of just one team that would still be awesome.
If anyone has any insight into this please let me know!

Let me know on pm if you f it up or make it better.
200 grain. Maker REX.
Copper Creek 573-321-4210 he usually answers the phone. If you mention Maker REX expandables he will know which loads you are referring to, we just ordered 100 rounds and its the first time he developed that projectile. He used trailboss and a mahnum primer which is a fast and they did a great job. Pricey, but I'm ok with it as I only reach for that load when I need perfection.
Nothing happening here since Wednesday huh?
Well, I finally got around to slapping some Duracoat on my SRS.
I painted a few AR barrels at the same time.

That paint job is sweet!
Other than upside-down, I've never really understood how a flag can be facing a "wrong" direction, considering you can view a flying flag from any angle in the wild. It seemed appropriate since it's facing the other direction on the opposite side of the mag.
Anyway... no, with the classic Duracoat, it's a 2-part epoxy that air dries.

Actually the flag is facing the correct direction, it's the opposite of the right side. The real problem is the bolt is on the wrong side, at least for me. Really nice looking job on the paint job.

Check DT's website. Several countries are using them.
I tried looking but couldn’t find anything on the website. Would you mind posting a link?
Been kinda slow hear. Looking good supressyourself. I like the paint job. Went shooting today at my friends farm. Couple steel plates and 12oz cans at 400yd. That was fun. If you hit it you had to walk down range and change out for a new one. Got some exercise in today.
So I’ve just started using my 338dtss , and I was using my silencer co hybrid and it seems like the dt muffler doesn’t get as hot as the other suppressors . You guys with desert techs cans , do you notice that or is it just me?
Well, got out today with my new factory 22" 308. Loaded up some Sierra 175s with 42.5gr of RL15. Took one shot to zero the barrel then shot this group...
Zero load development. The factory barrels hang right with my customs for accuracy. Very pleased!
Didn't some people here have their bolts coated in Microslick? How's that working out?
I know Carolina First Defense posted some promising pics up on their Facebook page. Thankfully I'm pretty close to them, so will be able to try one out soon.
Just checking in and keeping busy! Our DT barrels are now officially branded.
Dude! I think you're on to something! Dunno how it could be attached though, would have to take apart the chassis to make it look good.
Hi everyone, went to the range the other day and forgot the short throw/stop plug for the DTA in my safe and tho its not a mission ending issue it pissed me off so I designed a replacement, printed out a few and now have one in each of my range bags, case and gun bag so I will always have a spare. no special print settings hear just use what ever your printer likes. The original seems to be made of a better plastic than the PLA I used but figure its not meant as a permanent replacement but more a temp solution. Anyways hope it can help someone out.
I had that happen years ago, so I just forgot about it and shot without it, haven't looked back since.
Same here; I haven’t been using the plastic bolt stop plug for a year or so.
Ditto, note that without the plug the bolt extension will interfere with removing the butt pad if fully to the rear.
I never had or used the stop plug either....never had a use for it. The bolt works fine without it and I'm in no hurry so haven't had any issues.
No problems removing the butt pad either from here.

What are you guys using for a sling ? I don't know shit about flush cups but assume that's what I'm going to need in a sling ? Rifle will be strapped to my pack most of the time while hunting, but I want the option of carrying it with a sling when needed .
im using a Tab gear Elite sling with Flushcups installed both ends ,

and for hunting i run the Biathlong sling with padded shoulders

Trying to save some weight there?
Saved a little weight and now it's a little different than most 
What's the verdict ? Is it a win or a fail ?

I’m a fan. Who did the work? Might be interested in having mine done.
I did it myself, removed the barrel and did a very rough job of chopping it off with an angle grinder. I then spent about an hour with a Dremel smoothing and blending all the angles and edges . Pretty easy DIY project but not for the faint of heart!
Anyone running a 375 CheyTac in their SRS? Wha arethe positives and pitfalls? Single feeding obviously.
I’ve come into bunch of Peterson 375 brass that’s been turned down to .585 bolt face, which is why I’m tossing around the idea.

I wanted to try a .375 in front of a large cartridge in the srs but just recently picked up a hti375ct barrel bolt and some brass . Now saving for a hti chassis. So the ct parent cartridge is 505gibbs with a .640 bolt face I think. And you had the brass turned down to a .585 . Interesting. I’d like to see a pic of the turned down brass. If that worked , and safely, way cool .
