Just wanted to bounce my idea around........figured this is a good spot.
Guess the title says a lot. lately I have been bouncing this idea around my head. it is a straight pull bolt action AR15. bolt handle on the left side. the carrier would be modified so as to allow the use of a Ace side folder, not sure what stock yet. Would chop the carrier length to allow this. since the carrier need some tension on it, would put a rod and spring out the front of the upper receiver through the gas port hole and use something like a 1911 spring or something a little longer. think of something ZM weaponish.
I am looking at this for a modified 30 Tok build that will be suppressed and possibly reside on a SBR ar lower. I have been playing with the 30 tok in the AR platform (blow back) for about 8 years now and this year just build a none blow back AR in the same caliber. I am starting to work on it to see if I can get it functioning with subsonic loads.....but the idea of doing the AR sounds interesting. Have a custom reamer made to allow the heavier 308 projectiles fit a little better (may or may not have to do this, will work more with my newest build first as that reamer may work out).
I know all about the 300 whisper. but I already have brass, reloading dies and other firearms in 30 tok. I am wanting it for subsonic use, so the case capacity will be enough.
I have seen the savage done by Dolomite_supafly, and know of his ejection issues. I have seen others do this straight pull setup, but with a right hand handle and that can be a knuckle buster during the racking/ejection process. I already have several side charging ASA receiver builds (308, 223 and 9mm) and like the left side handle. I originally started thinking of the ASA receiver, but think a fixed handle would give more leverage incase of a sticky shell and for the ability to help push the rounds into the chamber.
Just thought this would be a good place to bounce this around. I am also thinking of a suppressor design to go back over the barrel. but will leave that whole discussion for another thread.......but I do plan on having a suppressor on this, I do already have 30cal I can use for now. I have been building ARs for a couple days now (wink), so I am very familiar and comfortable with them. They are probably one of my favorite/preferred platform, maybe that is why this idea is kind of appealing......
