But it's 760 dollars

2020-11-24 03:53:58 UTC  

Also, I’m assuming they’re going to be out of stock almost everywhere lol

2020-11-24 03:54:33 UTC  

The Saint? More than likely, but that goes for every ar that isn't uber overpriced really

2020-11-24 03:54:58 UTC  

Yeah

2020-11-24 03:55:27 UTC  

I called a local gun store where I bought my pistol and the guy said he had an upper and lower receiver from two different brands that he’ll sell for 650 and I think I might be getting that tomorrow.

2020-11-24 03:56:37 UTC  

Yeah go for it

2020-11-24 03:56:52 UTC  

As long as it's ar platform it doesn't matter

2020-11-24 03:57:05 UTC  

Besides you can always replace parts later on

2020-11-24 03:57:28 UTC  

That's the beauty of the platform

2020-11-24 04:02:13 UTC  

Also chrome lined is generally better than nitride

2020-11-24 05:01:33 UTC  

Saint is good rifle

2020-11-24 05:19:50 UTC  

Do you have to get a special upper for a 6.5 creedmoor ar

2020-11-24 05:19:56 UTC  

Or just a different bolt

2020-11-24 05:31:02 UTC  

@Winnie37a Totally bombing the conversation. The bolt is normally the same. You obviously need to build it from an action that supports .308. 6.5CM is a necked down .308 Winchester essentially. Obviously you need a new barrel and I'd drop in a new bolt to go with it just so they wear together. I assume AR10? Sometimes they're a little more problematic as there are several different dimensional standards for receivers, unlike the AR15 platform.

2020-11-24 05:33:35 UTC  

Barrel swaps are usually a piece of cake for the ARs. Check the headspace just to be sure. I've never had a problem, but worth checking. Go/No-Go gauges are cheap and at least give you an idea if it's reasonably safe or not.

2020-11-24 05:36:22 UTC  

Thanks for the info

2020-11-24 05:40:02 UTC  

Wait

2020-11-24 05:40:58 UTC  

6.5 creedmore AR can only exist as an AR10 because it needs the bigger magwel than the AR15 can fit

2020-11-24 05:42:44 UTC  

Yus

2020-11-24 06:01:56 UTC  

Absolutely has to be an AR10 or something larger (If we're talking AR's exclusively). I think Nemo makes a .338LM and a few others in their extended action, but that's something entirely different. I've heard the 6.5 Grendel was a good intermediate range cartridge for the AR15; but that was before the .224 Valkyrie. I haven't shot either but the velocities are good an the BC's are relatively high for the heavier bullets. I do like my 6.5CM.

2020-11-24 06:08:17 UTC  

Depends on what you want to do. I personally love to ding the steel plates as far out as I possibly can. The range I usually shoot at had a target at ~900 yards. Where I'm at, its hard to find a place to stretch it out farther with a good line of sight, a good backdrop, and no random ATV traffic.

2020-11-24 06:14:31 UTC  

So you guys ever changed sights on a APX pistol?

2020-11-24 06:32:15 UTC  

nice

2020-11-24 06:32:27 UTC  

of course added the 922r parts...

2020-11-24 06:32:43 UTC  

that AK above is a SAM7K pistol SBR'ed

2020-11-24 06:32:50 UTC  

Dead Air Wolverine

2020-11-24 06:33:07 UTC  

Nice. How is the backpressure on that?

2020-11-24 06:33:24 UTC  

pretty awful so I have an adjustable gas piston on it

2020-11-24 06:34:54 UTC  

KNS?

2020-11-24 06:35:45 UTC  

yes

2020-11-24 06:35:56 UTC  

I have a Rugged Surge 7.62 and pretty much every semi-auto I have sucks to shoot with it except my 300BLK with subs.

2020-11-24 06:36:02 UTC  

works like a charm. though with it cranked all the way up, subsonic ammo still won't cycle it

2020-11-24 06:36:11 UTC  

bummer

2020-11-24 06:36:19 UTC  

if you can get adjustable gas blocks I recommend it

2020-11-24 06:36:37 UTC  

I forget what brand I have on my 300 blackout but it's a bleed off one

2020-11-24 06:37:14 UTC  

My STG58 has the standard FAL adjustable system, but it still sucks with the gas vent all the way open.

2020-11-24 06:37:36 UTC  

you mean closed?

2020-11-24 06:37:52 UTC  

or is it not cycling?
