Also chrome lined is generally better than nitride

Saint is good rifle

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

Or just a different bolt

@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.

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.

Thanks for the info

Wait

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

Yus

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.

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.

So you guys ever changed sights on a APX pistol?

Turned this into....

nice

of course added the 922r parts...

that AK above is a SAM7K pistol SBR'ed

Dead Air Wolverine

Nice. How is the backpressure on that?

pretty awful so I have an adjustable gas piston on it

KNS?

yes

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.

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

bummer

if you can get adjustable gas blocks I recommend it

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

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

you mean closed?

or is it not cycling?

KNS may make something too

or another company

That system basically bleads off the excess gas like the KNS. It cycles, but its still over-gassed. I could change them out on my ARs, but I don't want to take off the fixed FSP. I also have a TAVOR. No hope for that one.

ahhh I see

I've got an adjustable one on that MPX too

super light

Its pretty easy to change out the fixed FSP on the ARs, I just don't want to take out the taper pins... there will always be the holes in the barrel. At least with the AKs, it's like changing the gas piston in general. And it's hidden.

Its ok. It's supper cool to shoot bolt action suppressed. I almost always have that can on my RPR in 6.5CM. I'm really wanting an OSS, but it's like 9 months + with form 4s.

I agree
