    I get to geek out a bit, I am interviewing Paul Craddock today. Ever since the Valkyrie I have been fanboying window shopping Craddock Precision ARs. Since was planning a 6 ARC project, I wanted to pair that 6 ARC bolt gun with a 6 ARC gas gun to see the pipeline. What's the accuracy, what the ranges, how does it perform on command like a competition rifle ?

    The Terminus Zeus in 6 ARC is here, the Zermatt Matterhorn is here, now to pair with a gas gun.

    The interview Paul is a great background. We learn the history of Craddock Precision, Paul's gun building philosophy. How he approaches the AR15, AR10 which might be different from the other guys. A great example is roughly 15 different gas lengths.

    I want to thank Nick for putting us together, this conversation flowed. It moved in a nice logical direction touching on the ins and outs of a gas gun.

    From Valkyrie to ARC, to larger Frame ARs, we touch on it all.

    As always, thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the Everyday Sniper podcast.
     
    Got 3 of his .223 SBR barrels in custom contour with his CAR +1 gas system. He even fine tuned the gas port for full time suppressed and tested with his suppressor. Attention to detail + quality and a great guy to deal with.
     
    I’ve got a 16” 6.5CM RTR and a 22” custom Bartlein mod400BB 6.5CM from Craddock. Got to spend a solid 25 minutes with Paul talking through the intricacies for the 22” barrel.
