Just installed the PTG Repo... zero complaints
XM3 clone build.

Beauty! Mines gonna end up being an 'inspired by' build. I just couldn't financially make sense of truing a 700 up when a custom action is much better in every way and cost me less. I also went for a 7 twist 223 to shoot the 75 eldm up to the 88 eldm. I went with a lighter fill on my a1-3 as well. I'm will be a bit still waiting on stuff on order.
Just wanted to add in my little bit. Got the Ti base and sterile UNS mount from PTG. Thinking next will be a stock from them.
Curious, has anyone had PTG do machine work for them on their XM3 or a complete build (or any other build)? If so, how is their work?

I am not planning on sending anything to them but I am curious what stuff of theirs is fake. Thanks.

Heads up on Fake M24 Receivers
I posted on the M24 thread in the bolt action section but wanted to post a warning here too. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/army-m24-build-thread.6252616/page-41#post-11901567 These appear to be the same PTG fakes that we discussed last year. Unfortunately they are being sold a...

Obviously PTG isn't going to swap your rifle out for a fake one, it's a joke. Read this thread when you have a few minutes and you'll understand why you should stay far away from them:

Following up on this. Lol i basically gave in and messaged Steve on insta. There was a prototype with M5. He sold it to a marine in Hawaii. He said he didn't have pictures. I have no idea what spurred me to look today other than coming back to this thread due to a notification and possibly a touch of tism

Ole lady got her first buck with the xm3 this season.

It’s mighty close but I wouldn’t call it 100%. Minor stuff like recoil lug not Ti. Suppressor is a form 1 copy as well
hey you mentioned having extra xm3 build parts. im officially gathering parts and would be interested in extras before i hit vendors.
thanks!
