Ar10 build= Aeroprecision Ar10 lower and upper, and hand guard. The gas block was an Odin adjustable low profile.
The upper was the m5 enhanced and so wasn’t the hand guard. This has what I would think more stability build into the barrel support. I believe Seekins 1st came out with the idea.
trigger was hyper fire match supper duper expensive flat trigger with adjustable plastic pad finger dealy bob.
The Ar15 had a seekins lower with a Aeroworks upper w/out the worthless side btton that forces the bcg down on a round that should not go in.. hell if it didn’t chamber the round the first time, perhaps one should’ve investigate Why it didn’t close on the round before getting out a gorilla 8lb hammer and smash it till the chamber closes enough to get a round off! Nah, I got the nonforwards assist upper because o wanted to save weight... and boy was I happy with the final weight.
The 20 inch 223 barreled upper
I was the same weight as 16 inch infantry NX15 upper=W/o bcg was 3lbs 12oz
And my 20inch rainier upper was 3lbs 11oz (w/o a break on the barrel)
AR10: Began with a mod2 22” 6.5 CM shiny finish.
Barrel was a very well done.
The flutes were deep and organized.
For the size, the barrel is weighted well.
The chamber was perfect, with no machining marks to be seen.
Shot over 400 rounds of match grade ammo, most were Barns match burners, but could not get it to group better than 1&1/2 moa.
140gr Berger match burners.
new Starline, and Hornady brass.
Rl16, n555, shooters world long rifle, Big game. Small rifle, large rifle primers, mag and reg primers.
Tried gas block completely closed, and shot match factory ammo. No go.
One thing you should all know about rainier arms, they have great c.s. And stand by there products.
They were very helpful throughout the time I had issues. Had exchanged the barrel, but they were out of stock.
I normally do varmints and target’s I figured I’d always wanted to try a very accurate 223 barrel so I did a 20 wylde chamber.
Unfortunately the first barrel had the extension pin on the barrel put in a little bit crooked so the good guys over there sent me one out next day air.
Replacement barrel Worked perfect no issues no drama. Shot cloverleafs with most of the ammo.
SW precision rifle (varget comp)
H335, tac, SW match rifle powders.
bullets were Nosler and sierra 40 50, 55 grains varmint bullets.
Did not get a chance to really shoot the heavies yet. Will update once I shoot 69 and 75 I believe is what I have.
I have some 60 grain vmax i’ve never had before so that’ll be fun.
I also have a 22 Creedmoor that’s a match not the mod2 and ordered and received a mod 2 6.5 Creedmoor barrel 22 inch but unfortunately that one (6,5 CM mod 2)received with yet again another barrel pin that was not put in Straight.
This would not allow me to get the barrel in the upper to bottom out ....so I just let them know about that but unfortunately it’s Friday night hopefully they’ll let me know tomorrow maybe they will send a replacement out. Sat..
The photo below was the one with I believe 55 or 40 grain varmint rounds. All of the ammunition I shot was High grade reloads on my Dillon 650xl.
These were done with a mix of different cases 223 rem and some more 556 Federal.
i’ll try next with some 69 grain Sierra‘s and some 68 grain Hornady with some Starline brass.
