New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge
I hadn't seen this posted here yet, but SAAMI added a 6mm Grendel derivative called the 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge or 6mm ARC to their newly accepted cartridges list. 6mm ARC introduction pdf The case looks like the shoulder has been moved back, and the neck is a little shorter as compared...

While 9mm, 308, and 5.56 seem to be filtering back into the supply lines, boutique cartridges seem to be lagging behind. I’m not that hot on adding another problem child to my little stable of misfit chamberings.
After reading your thoughts and while my wife was away (I'm not afraid of her, but why take the chance), I pulled the trigger on a Craddock Precision 6MM ARC Bartlein barrel. I went with the 18'' 7.25 twist. I also purchased the gas system, brake, straight fluting and mattie black finish. Now while I'm waiting for the 6-8 months, I can let my checking account recover and save for the rest of my build. When the funds become available, I'll be looking at the BAD receivers, forearms and stocks. Also, the JP Low Mass BCG. Plenty of time to think about a trigger.
As always, your thoughts are welcome. I wish for you and your families a safe and blessed Christmas!

...with a $2K budget it may have been more prudent to just get the complete upper from Craddock as it will come with a performance guarantee. Just my $0.02....
i dunno, but these days i suppose i would get ammo first, or ensure a supply, before i built a gun to shoot it.
Thanks, I've done that in the past and ended up with ammo without a gun to shoot it in.
Don’t overlook the Timney CE when you decide on a trigger. Have them in all of my precision ARs.
You will like the Geissele, it’s a quality trigger. If your a handloader the next thing I would do is look for components. Quality 6mm projectiles are hard to find these days if you looking for the heavier stuff designed for longer ranges.
Yesterday, I added a V Seven 2055 Ex Enlightened Receiver Set to my build. After I complete this set with small upper and lower parts also from V Seven, I will look at stocks and handguards. I'm considering Smoke Composites. Still waiting on a JP or Rubber City BCG.
As always, I welcome your comments!

Since my last update, I have added the small parts for my upper and lower, all from V7. I purchased a Magpul PRS Lite stock this morning. My V7 receiver set should arrive at my FFL by tomorrow. Sure hope it is as nice as the reviews!
Have a blessed day ya'll!

Today I added a buffer tube and corresponding parts from V7. Remaining are my BCG (waiting on JP or Rubber City) and my handguard, which will also be V7 as funds permit. Since learning of V7 Weapons, my budget has left the building with Elvis!
Have a blessed week Ya'll!

I purchased my 16.5 inch V7 handguard today, ( Tax Refund) I have a JP Low Mass BCG on back order. This completes my build. My Craddock barrel was ordered in December, so I have a wait. Once completed, I will try to post pictures. Now a scope decision and more savings. Thanks for your input, Charles

Sounds nice. I'd loctite that screw once I set my preferred pull weight though. I'll keep that link and try one for my next build.Better cheap trigger.HAMMERHEAD Drop-In-Trigger Group (Fully Adjustable 3.5 - 6.0LB) v3.4
