I've been working on starting to reload for 8.6 blk and figure it would be good to start a thread and share information specific to reloading.

Q has some tech data posted on their website here - https://liveqordie.com/86-technical-data/

The first hurdle was figuring out a way to resize brass since factory brass I'd imagine is a ways out. I did manage to get my hands on a set of prototype 8.6 blk reloading dies that I'll be using.

I noticed at first I was getting some ripples in the neck when I did a full length resize and neck up from 6.5 to 8.6 all in one step.


Running the brass through an Annealeez proved to give much better results when pushing the shoulder back.

$600 tyd

A few months ago I decided to jump into large frame ARs and at the time I thought there was basically two camps: the Armalite AR10 and the DPMS pattern. DPMS being far more popular (Areo, JP, countless others) and Armalite being the less common and proprietary option (there are several other proprietary options and some will get an honorable mention).

I initially decided on a GGP set (DPMS) which was very well made but after some struggles with the Ambi system, (it was resolved) I decided I wanted something different and I sold the set. It was at this point I realized there was a third camp, typically associated with the highest end of gas gun manufactures: Knight's Armament and the SR25. I wanted one, but there very limited configurations, 16" and 20" 308s and 22" 6.5 Creedmoor are the only options. And that is IF you can even get one, Knight's guns are not readily available at retail, and I have no intention of paying Gunbroker/ Gray market extortion prices.

But is Knight's design as exclusive as it seems? Not really as it turns out. There is design elements from both Armalite and DPMS. Also, other manufactures have followed the Knight's SR-25 pattern and have some compatibility. There are some resources that discuss difference between AR10 and DPMS, but almost all of them completely ignore the SR-25 as a standard. If you are a Knight's purist, I get it... this is meant to be a resource for the SR25 pattern. Also this is America and people will always customize/build whatever they want. This post is not for you... please move along....

The SR-25 Pattern is basically Armalite "slant cut" receivers, DPMS barrel extension, barrel nut, bolt, magazine and DPMS High Handguard (3/16 Tang)


So after doing some quick compatibility research, I ended up choosing an LMT lower receiver as my starting point. I found a blem MARS-H in stock at Big Texas Ordinance. And this is where the issue started . Upper receivers with a Armalite "slant cut" and DPMS High compatibility were not readily available for this pattern. I decided to set out to find a an upper receiver that I could use with my LMT lower, DPMS High handguard of choice and DPMS internals (barrel, bolt, carrier ect.) and I preferred to have no forward assist.

I have been able to test fit Stag, Seekins, Mega, LMT and Knight's and a few other brands with varying success and ultimately found pretty much what I was looking for. A long the way I created a spread sheet with the information I gathered to help others with similar objectives. If you can add to this I would love your input, feel free to comment and I will add as information as needed. There are no resources for SR-25 compatible manufactures as far as I know, but we can start here.

The link to my spreadsheet is here. (The spreadsheet includes Centurion Arms, LaRue, V Seven, Type A, Noveski, Troy, Genesis CNC, ADM and all the other brands I could find with Armalite "slant cut" receiver.

Below is a list of the highlights from the spreadsheet.

Knight's Compatibility
Knight's SR-25: This is what I have been looking to emulate.. not necessary clone... but for obvious reasons this is the top of the list. Drawbacks here are lack of availability, limited configuration, elitism and cost.

LMT MARS-H: Probably better than Knight's if I am honest... the best Ambi in the business and that monolithic design has a lot going for it. Only drawback is the proprietary barrel system. There is just one guy (I am aware of) who makes custom barrels for these, that's not great for longevity. On the other hand, Everyone who makes barrels is making DPMS compatible barrel... so LMT is a hard sell for me.

Stag Arms STAG-10: This was the first one I tried and it does function. One of the best solutions available… The fit is ok on the LMT lower, the lower over hangs the upper in a the rear and the Forward assist is kind of a bummer. Unrelated comment, as with most DPMS High pattern uppers, Knight's handguard's require hand fitting unless you want to live with a huge gap between the rail and the upper. A small mount of material must be removed from URX 3.1 and for URX 4s the receiver its self must be faced. Its a small amount of fitting but not for the uninitiated. (PM me if you want more details on how to fit knight's rails to DPMS uppers)


SMF Tactical TAC-10 : You have likely never heard of these guys. Its a small shop, very nice and helpful people I spoke with on the phone several times. This is not their main business and I had to beg them to make me an upper. It took a few weeks but I got one and I am sure they will make more. This was the best I have tried. It will take some hand fitting to make it perfect, but on the plus side, Knight's handguards fit without any fitting or trimming (normally required). There is some overhang but this could be and fit with files if you know what you are doing (I was a small parts fabricator for a few years). I'll post updates here as this progresses, waiting on a barrel from Craddock precision and I would like to find an LMT or Knight's BCG. (Considering a Seekins BCG if I come across one)


Seekins SP10: Probably the best option. semi monolithic is great. Readily available and out standing quality. I am not crazy about the triangle shaped handguard and the lack of options here. I have fit one of these on to my LMT lower and its a perfect fit. These are only available as a builder set or a complete gun. but no reason not to just do this if you are cool with the handguard.



Mega Arms MATEN: Really nice quality. Availability is good. Not a great option to mix with other brans but will work with some. This is great if you are looking for a game gun. Super heavy. The upper will function with Knight's lowers but fit is not great interferes with MARS-H ambi controls.



Wilson Combat: These do NOT fit and are truly a proprietary design. I did order an upper to try. The geometry is totally different and there is no chance this can work. I was so disappointed I forgot to take pictures before I returned it. They do have a disclaimer on the website but, I tried it anyway. They did give me a refund without and issues, but it took close to month.

Armalite AR-10A: The lowers are compatible with Knight's uppers, take SR25 magazines (AR-10B do not use sr25 mags). But that is where compatibility stops. The uppers have a forward assist (not really into that), and a different thread pattern for the barrel nut, different barrel extension, bolt etc, etc,


ADM UIC-10: I have seen pictures of these with and without forward assist. They wont breakup a builders set unfortunately. If some one has tried this let me know.

Edit: ADM UIC-10 do fit. (At least the geometry is the same) I found this pic randomly… still no information on the upper or if it has a forward assist)



In the longer term I have a friend with a CNC shop who is making AR-15 already and looking to get into AR10s. If there is interest in this pattern, ether for Knight's clones or just cause you think its cooler than other options let me know. I am trying to build a case that this is a space in the market where he can differentiate and find some demand.



EDIT: More options provided by SH members


JP Enterprises PSC-12 (Information an pictures courtesy of @papershredder ) My take on it so far on an LMT lower; Pins are very tight, no play or slop between the receivers at all. There is a little gap at the back angled profile between upper and lower receivers. They use a DPMS threaded barrel nut and come with any of the JP DPMS bolt carrier groups (buyers choice).


Edit: the JP option ended up not working out. Details on page 2 of this thread.

All,

Those of us with M40A5’s and/or XM-3’s know this suppressor is rare and expensive. They rarely pop up for sale, and when they do the dildo selling it wants some laughable amount for it. So, is there a workaround?

ECCO machine and BSD Fabrication are doing some awesome stuff by utilizing the SureFire (SF) lock ring taken off a Warden Blast Regulator or other SF suppressor. They’re machining the body of the Warden to interface with other modern suppressors set up for HUB attachments, so that those suppressors may be mounted onto current SF muzzle devices/brakes.

My question is can the lock collar from a Warden can be made to adapt/mount another suppressor to the MB762SSAL/RE muzzle device found on the M40A5?

Anyone been down this road yet?

Thank you for your interest. I have them priced individually but will gladly bundle.

EASY TO NAVIGATE HUD SCREENS​

Our solution to this challenge are the three separate HUD screens of the VECTOR X that display the target information arranged by order of importance. By pressing the left or right button of the D-Pad of your VECTOR X, you can swiftly toggle between the three HUD screens to access the different types of target information.

FIRST HUD SCREEN​

Besides the target distance and azimuth, the first HUD screen displays the most important information for shooting related uses cases: elevation and two windage values (depending on wind direction and speed) calculated by Applied Ballistics Elite. Firing solutions are displayed either in MRAD or MOA. Within this HUD screen you can effortlessly adjust the display brightness level using the up and down buttons.

SECOND HUD SCREEN​

The second HUD screen shows your wind presets (Wind 1 and Wind 2). You can easily adjust the wind speed within this HUD screen with the up and down buttons of the D-Pad. Also displayed on the second HUD screen are the inclination to your measured target and the time of flight of the bullet according to the activated gun profile.

THIRD HUD SCREEN​

The third HUD screen displays the activated Gun Profile and the remaining energy and velocity of the bullet at the measured target distance.

NO BALLISTICS​

If you do not use the Applied Ballistics Elite features of your VECTOR X, all target information generated with a measurement is displayed on a single HUD screen. Besides the measured distance it shows the target azimuth, inclination and the equivalent horizontal range (EHR).

APP CONTROL​

Your VECTOR X is much more than just a rangefinding binocular and the VECTRONIX SHOOTING SOLUTIONS app is the key to extending its capabilities tremendously. Besides being a convenient tool for adjusting general settings and transferring them to your VECTOR X, the app offers many innovative feature tailored to long-range shooters and hunters. With the app, you generate your gun profiles, which – after having been transferred to your VECTOR X – are used by its onboard Applied Ballistics Ballistic Elite solver to calculate precise firing solutions according to your measured target distances.

TARGET CARD​

The target card feature of the VECTRONIX SHOOTING SOLUTIONS app allows you to populate a target card for multiple targets. By triggering range measurements remotely with the app, target information and firing solutions for each measured target are arranged in a target card. You can then transfer your target card to an E-DOPE card or save it as a PDF-document. When printed out and cut to size, place your range card in the transparent compartment of the lid of the soft case of your VECTOR X.

KESTREL WEATHER METERS​

Kestrel 5700 Ballistic weather meters have become an essential piece of equipment for many long-range shooters and hunters. Not only because they measure important environmental data but also due to their integrated ballistics solvers. The top models of the 5700 are equipped with either Applied Ballistics Elite or Hornady 4 DOF. When you connect your VECTOR X with a Kestrel 5700 Ballistic weather meter, the environmental data measured by it will be used by default by your VECTOR X for calculating firing solutions.

GARMIN DEVICES​

Garmin wrist-mounted computers are robust, high-performance navigational devices engineered to meet U.S. military standards. These rugged devices, equipped with integrated Applied Ballistics Elite software, are widely utilized by military personnel and civilian shooters worldwide. When connected to a compatible Garmin device featuring Applied Ballistics Elite, your VECTOR X transmits precise measurements of distance, azimuth, and inclination to the Garmin device.


Currently the following Garmin wrist-mounted computers are compatible with the VECTOR X:

• Foretrex® 701/901 Ballistic Edition
• tactix® Delta-Solar Edition
• tactix® 7
• instinct® 2X Solar Tactical Edition

BALLISTICS APPS​

Connect your VECTOR X to the free app version (available for Android and iOS) of the Hornady 4DOF calculator and get highly accurate ballistic solutions even in areas without wireless connection. Since the release of the app in August 2016 its user base has grown to over 300000 active users – a clear testament to the high quality of the Hornady 4DOF ballistic calculator.
The TRASOL iOS app, developed by renowned precision rifle manufacturer Desert Tech, is a great connectivity partner for your VECTOR X. It is a powerful tool for long-range shooters who shoot to 1500 meters and beyond. Besides providing highly accurate ballistic solutions and a very high level of usability, TRASOL also incorporates heads-up display (HUD) technology that uses the built-in camera and onboard sensors of your iPhone and iPad.

I started shooting precision back in 2008 and got my first custom 308 from Jared Joplin in '09. Since then, the sport became industry and there's all kinds of new gear and calibers. My god, I know we needed better ballistics than the 30-06 and 308 but have we gone overboard? To each his own but man, it's hard to see the roles all of these calibers play beyond niche shooting matches, and it's hard to believe the industry will sustain those calibers in years to come. I guess this is how its always been, noting all the Winchester rifle rounds that have come and gone. Still, it seems like companies will have to trim their product lines at some point. For what it's worth, I fully recognize that some of the new calibers are vast improvements; I am enjoyer of both the 6.5G and 6.5CM.

Would love to hear your take on whether the industry will sustain all this "innovation."
