I think this is what he is referring to..Doesn't the brake screw on the muzzle?
Which it shows M22 x 1.5 threads.
I must have missed something.

Thanks!I think this is what he is referring to..
Ha ..... The "Toy" rifles are in fact the most accurate i have owned and used...and trust me i have had some very exotic rifles and custom builds..I once had two barrels made by a very prominent maker that told me he didn't think that "toy" rifles, as he called the then new DTA SRS bullpup, were up to the task of shooting 1000 yards accurately.
I agree 100%Ha ..... The "Toy" rifles are in fact the most accurate i have owned and used...and trust me i have had some very exotic rifles and custom builds..
I've never seen one before, it is a very nice looking rifle!This is the only other rifle i put up there with the Desert Tech......
Unique Apline TPG-1..... A superbly accurate rifle!!
short magnums can be finicky with feeding.Has anyone run any of the following in their DT?
- 7mm SAW
- 284Win
- Any short magnum
If so, what issues/roadblocks did you experience? How was mag feeding?
I’ve had three rifles chambered in 7mmSAW before so am familiar with it.
I've shot one of those, very nice rifle!This is the only other rifle i put up there with the Desert Tech......
Unique Apline TPG-1..... A superbly accurate rifle!!
TPG-1 ..Superb action, built like a bank vault and super smooth!!I've shot one of those, very nice rifle!
I looked the Unique Alpine up and read about it. The first reaction I had when I saw your photo of one, was how comfortable it looked! Then the first article I read made a point of how comfortable it is! It truly is a very nice rifle. They said Unique Alpine worked with FN to do the APG3, or FN's Ballista. You have a great rifle!TPG-1 ..Superb action, built like a bank vault and super smooth!!
1 Inch Dia bolt on the 308..
I like that idea to. Keep bugging Carson.Regarding the HTI....which i LOVE!!!
I have been bugging the hell out of Carson from DT....I have suggested they incorporate a 338 Lapua conversion for the HTI..
Why you ask...
The 338 lap with the longer 29" heavy HTI profile barrel , combined with the weight of the HTI would be an awesome combo.
The 338 "Bolt head" would enable the use of the popular and efficient 33 and 37XC cartridges.
As it stands ..
375CT...great cartridge BUT...components are hard to find and VERY expensive.
408CT ...dead and buried..
416.. Expensive on all accounts !!
50BMG ...LOVE it myself.. BUT its to much for most and to expensive.
Probably very wishful thinking , but will continue to bug Carson until i get the definitive , absolute NO!!
Desert Tech are VERY quiet at present ??I like that idea to. Keep bugging Carson.
Busy.Desert Tech are VERY quiet at present ??
Top bloke indeed. Makes a hell of an elk steak too.Carson is a top bloke.......
I have a 284 in the DT. I could never get it to feed, so I gave up on that caliber in this platform. I think the rebated rim and magazine interface was the issueHas anyone run any of the following in their DT?
- 7mm SAW
- 284Win
- Any short magnum
If so, what issues/roadblocks did you experience? How was mag feeding?

If DT is planning on responding to SOFAT&L’s SSN then something similar is likely in development.I like that idea to. Keep bugging Carson.
I guess that means you need to start bugging Jeff. I've been enjoying the YT content.Busy.
also, Carson doesn't make any decisions on things being made, so cut him some slack![]()
Thats a shame, I could have told you that wouldn't work 10 years ago. One of the baddest cartridges but just wont feed well in the SRS.I have a 284 in the DT. I could never get it to feed, so I gave up on that caliber in this platform. I think the rebated rim and magazine interface was the issue
Don't bug him either, aint nobody listenin' to him at DT.I guess that means you need to start bugging Jeff. I've been enjoying the YT content.
Are the 6.5 PRC mags available now?Some calibers just don’t feed week in the DT. For many calibers that are not offered by desert tech, the biggest key to feeding is to make sure the projectile of the cartridge makes its way into the chamber before he magazine releases the cartridge. If the magazines releases the cartridge before the projectile makes its eating to chamber, you are going to have feeding issues.
Desert tech now has a few additional mags that may help with some calibers that had issues before.
There are the obvious 6 and 10 rd mags for the .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor. They work great for the various creedmoor cartridges, .308, .243, .260 rem, and 47 cartridges. Shops have modified them to work with some short action magnum calibers in the past.
Then there are the 5 and 8 rd mags for the 300 wm, .300 Ultra and .338 LM cartridges. These work well with the 300 prc and will work with the Norma cartridges though DT has a 5 rd specifically for the Norma cartridges. The 5 rd Norma magazine is also for the 7 rem mag and works for the 7 prc.
DT recently came out with a 5 rd mag for the 30-06 and another 5 rd mag for the 6.5 PRC. I’m curious to see how the prc mags works for some of the other short action magnum calibers that have historically been problematic in the SRS.
Yes. We have some in stockAre the 6.5 PRC mags available now?
Yea I have one of the original rifle's from when they were DTA. I got it in 2011 time frame and struggled with the 284. I gave up on that cartrige. A buddy of mine and I are going to the NF ELR we both have the DT A2 versions in 300 PRC and its been great. I am probably going to see about rechambering the 284 barrel to something like the 7-6.5 PRC.Thats a shame, I could have told you that wouldn't work 10 years ago. One of the baddest cartridges but just wont feed well in the SRS.
Back when I was traveling to matches, I would routinely pull my scope off when checking my rifle at the airport and carry the scope on the plane. I found with my Spuhr mount, that my rifle would go right back to zero when remounting the optic.Does anyone, or anyone you know swap an optic back and forth between two different rifleson a regular basis?
I like my SB 5-45x56 on my SRS, and am thinking of getting an HTI, and would like the same scope on both and really don't want to buy another one. I have charted zero shifts for my different barrels, and am thinking changing rifles would be the same basic concept. I'm thinking of dialing the U/D & R/L shift (rifle to rifle), then slipping the turrets to 0/0.
Does this sound practical, or problematic?
Excellent, thanks!Back when I was traveling to matches, I would routinely pull my scope off when checking my rifle at the airport and carry the scope on the plane. I found with my Spuhr mount, that my rifle would go right back to zero when remounting the optic.
I don’t think you’d have an issue going between rifles.
We do. Just a heads up. The person in charge of ordering those barrels from Lothar Walther, ordered the wrong profile. The factory 30-06 barrels are a hunter profile when they were intended to be the standard profile. Standard profile barrels are on order but are a few months from being in stock.Excellent, thanks!
I have heard that it is advisable to carry your optic with you on the airline, makes good!
Do you have the new 30-06 SRS conversions available?
I change scopes more than once a day sometimes, it works fine if you use a good scope and mount.Does anyone, or anyone you know swap an optic back and forth between two different rifles on a regular basis?

Do you have the new 30-06 SRS conversions available?
Sure does. Let me know if you need an A2 rail or covert handguardSince the A2 now has a bolt on top rail like the M2, does that mean that an M2 could be converted to a covert with an A2 rail and covert hand guard?
Spuhr Quick Detach are fantastic mounts for that intent .. I have used them and they are 100% repeatable..Does anyone, or anyone you know swap an optic back and forth between two different rifleson a regular basis?

Waiting on getting some 3 twist blanks.Has anyone had an 8.6BLK barrel made yet?
Sac will re tune the mag. I’d give them a call.I have a 22.5" 6.5 PRC with a Short Action Customs magazine. Feeding is terrible. I know SAC makes great stuff from all the reviews and high praise but mine is so bad I'm about to pull the barrel. Ugh.
I also have an 18" 7 SAUM from Eric. I ordered it just before 7prc came out. I've never even installed the barrel and bought a variety of ammo from Copper Creek. I'd be will to sell the barrel and ammo if anyone is interested.
By the way, I had Eric spin up a 22 Creedmoor 18" barrel and it's a tack driver. Love it. Perfect cartridge for my cover.
I got the SAC mag from you guys. I'll get a DT 6.5 PRC mag to try and then send this one back to SAC. That is, if you recommend the DT 6.5 PRC mags.Sac will re tune the mag. I’d give them a call.
DT just came out with 6.5 PRC mags. We have some in stock if you are interested.
7 saum is one of those calibers that has been finicky in the past. Long projectiles will most likely be your friend. If the cartridge is released by the magazine before the projectile enters the chamber, you are going to have feeding issues.
I have not personally run the factory DT 6.5 PRC mags, but I have a few customers who have purchased them and they have not reported any issues to us.I got the SAC mag from you guys. I'll get a DT 6.5 PRC mag to try and then send this one back to SAC. That is, if you recommend the DT 6.5 PRC mags.
My prior experience with you guys was fantastic. Too good actually and I'm afraid to look at your website again. LOL.
