I just swapped everything over and it does feel a little bit better, I think the extra weight helped. I guess I need to put this thing to work with some dry fire practice and rounds down range and see how it smooths up.
Thanks, Ian, for the reply.
Bolts arrived today and I did a quick fit and function check without actually swapping over all the internals and firing pin assembly.
I really like the shorter throw but it is noticeably less slick/smooth than the original bolt. Not sure if it’s a different coating or something (maybe one of...
I ordered 2 bolt bodies from Preferred Barrel Blanks that are in stock now and hopefully shipping tomorrow.
Been thinking about a Terminus for the shorter throw but if this 75 degree bolt is as good as I hope, then it’ll save me some $$$$.
Even though you’re not competing in PRS, have you considered just going with one of the factory class rifles like the GAP PPR or one of the MPA chassis rifles? They would hit right at the top of your budget but that wouldn’t matter much since you won’t need any tools for barrel swaps right away...
I haven’t experienced that with mine but I can tell you that the customer service experience when I had a question was great.
I’d give them a call and see if they can help.
Is GAP the only place to buy it? I’ve gotta make a decision between the 6GT and a 6CM this week. I’m leaning CM because of the more readily available factory ammo. I reload but I’m gonna try running factory stuff in this build.
