Ive just sold this b/a but figured Id slap it in the freshly coated ATAICS before I moved it on.

Why come into a bolt action thread and talk about semi auto?
Fuck. I think a little jizz just came out. A little.
Having an 18' PR carbon barrel being chambered and mated to a Defiance AntiX by Alamo Precision. Bolt is DLC, action and chrome parts on barrel will be cerakoted. And I'm waiting on an XLR 4.0 magnesium folder in multi cam. Gonna b a long 5 month wait. Got the trigger tech diamond and tall ckye pod for it.

I am thinking of thst or 16”. I JUsT mounted the optics. Has not even been shot yet.
Trying to locat a smith in my area that can cut/thread.

My 16 is a hammer out to 500. Things get squirrely around 600, gotta be spot on with your wind calls. Really need a spotter for that.
Went out and checked some loads in it today:
40.5 Ar-comp
178 eld-m
WLR primers
Federal brass
2.80” oal, appx 0.010” jump.
Avg 2390 fps
Es 20
Sd 11
Groups well under an inch with the magneto speed strapped to the end of the ultra 9, so not bad for a factory rifle. There’s a sentinel in the px that I hope is still there when our bonus checks arrive in a few weeks.
Also got to wear out some steel with a few 175 gold medal. In 20 mph gusty wind. Lol. Like above, 3-400 is cake. Past that is….yeah.

It’s a Rem700 Swan 18” 1:7 twist MTU contour.
MDT 20 MOA rail, Triggertech 2 stage trigger.
Gunsmith fluted bolt and added pineapple style handle. OD cerakote. It’s actually in a AICS folder now.
Maybe it was already asked but what 45 degree top ring is that on the Geissele mount?
16.5” PVA 6.5cm tube. I have 500 123 SMKs to see how fast I can’t get them, but after shooting the 140 ELD load from my 24” barrel I don’t know that I even want to mess with those. Laser beams. How fast have you guys been able to get the 140s with H4350 in your shorties?
16.5 308
Origin with Rock Creek 1:10 spun up by Greg @ SPR
Nice. I really like my Origin more than I expected, it's not a short barrel, but now I keep thinking that a second one would make a good basis for my planned 18" 300 WSM or 7 SAUM hunting rifle build.
I forgot to post this build. 6.5cm Upr-10. Its my "frunk" gun.
I have a rifle but I don't know if its appropriate in this thread

I have since changed that scope to a Bushnell XRS II TREMOR 3.
Love it...only small thing I'd change is go T4AF and fold...some don't want the added weight ans don't see the need to fold
I have an addiction to folding ......lol
I have to stop looking at this thread. The wife's going to smell my undies one day and think I've got a side piece.
Ok here's my newest build (if semi's aren't welcome here let me know, but it is a unique build that's very short for 6.5CM)
I'll start out by saying this is a purpose built rifle for two main reasons
1. Night coyote hunting delivering heavier payload than my SPR inspired build does (WOA 1:7 18 inch SPR barrel shooting IMI 77 grain Razorcore until I can get back to reloading and get some 77gr TMK's moving and grouping well)
2. More compact rifle to harvest whitetail deer here in KY (my bolt rig currently has a 26 In 6.5CM barrel and a 9 inch form1 titanium can)
3. Added bonus of being a pretty handy rifle that may be my new "grab when needed" over my 10.5 .300 BO slinging 220gr subs or 18 inch SPR style .223 Wylde due to the increase in energy when serving everyone first.....then coming back around to ensure anyone who needs seconds get them
4. IF 8.6 CM ever comes into fruition I will have a nice lower ready if I don't have a dedicated 2nd AR10 lower by then
Being as this was my first AR10 build I went in knowing parts aren't as compatible vs AR15. I did my research summer 2020 and started eyeing parts. I purchased parts from Nov 2020 to Jan 2021 and saying parts were thin is an understatement. There were literally ZERO Aero R-One or S-One handhuards to be had anywhere.
Here's the run down of the build. I guess I can do as the dude @TheGerman calls Flannel Daddy and go "tip to butt"
Suppressor is a Form1 6 inch can 100% titanium using SD Tactical rear cap that stays on all the time. The exterior of the brakes all have the same thread so can easily bounces between 1/2-28 and 5/8-24 muzzles.
Muzzle brake is a titanium SD Tactical 3 port brake with threads on outside of brake for my Form1 cans.
Barrel = Wilson Combat Recon 16 inch 6.5CM 1:8 twist (backordered Nov 2020 and received July2021)
JP AGB
Gas tube = Wilson Combat 13.25 tube made specifically for the 16 inch Recon Barrel
Upper:
Aero M5
Aero 7.62 black nitride BCG
Anarchy Outdoors rear bolt plug for use w/ Law Gen 3 folder
Aero on all small parts on upper
Hanguard is am AIM sports 15 inch rail that is the "DPMS high top" = fits M5
LaRue charging handle (modified for fitment)
Optic/mount:
Athlon Helos 6-24
Aero SPR mount
Lower
Aero M5
Aero M5 lower parts kit (everything except FCG)
Gesseile SSA-E
Law Gen 3 folder
JP scs
Magpul CTR
Ergo Deluxe Tactical
Wilson Combat Recon 16 inch 6.5cm barrel w/ SD Tactical Titanium muzzle brake/suppressor mount
First modification = get gas tube free floating
Touching
Modded
Free floating now
Muzzle end goods
Top was my coyote rig before I built this (SPR inspired build .223 18 inch WOA barrel.....Lunar Elir3 will be coming over to 6.5cm)
Friends with benefits are awesome! I sent my buddy this pic via text....in next to no time he tells me to come over to pick up my tool
And when I get there......
LaRue charging handle required slight modification
Before: would not clear top of lower
After:
I can't wait to get this tool out and use it!!!

Not very light but definitely a goodie…
With the CkyePod, right at about 10.5 with 4 rounds. I now have an Atlas on it and it is closer to 9-9.5lbs. I purpose built this for a mtn goat hunt, but have since taken a couple of elk with it as well. With the lighter grain bullets and a relatively mild powder charge, I find the 124 Hammers to be really good medicine out to about 600. Recoil is very manageable and it's just great gun to tote around and shoot.
Here is my contribution to shorty .308s.
Sure a bit of a rare build, as most Blaser guys are probably a bit old school and "as comes from the factory"
Presented some more details here in the Blaser SBR thread:

Anybody sbr a blaser?
Just a thought I am having...a 12" suppressed 308 barrel for the blaser sounds like fun... Getting jealous of all of the "pistol rifles" out there (piffles?), so thinking of this route. Anyone who has one, chime in! Thanks! Jordan

Finally got this put together:

Terminus Zeus SA w/QC tenon
18” 1:7.5 twist Bartlein Carbon #13 profile
Triggertech Diamond Flat Blade
KRG Bravo
ARC M10 rings
NF NX8 2.5-20x F1
Deep South Tactical did an awesome job chambering/threading the barrel. Looking forward to heading to the range for the maiden voyage. Still waiting on a Manners Compact Stock 2 and will update once I receive it. Also waiting on a Gunwerks 8ight suppressor.

Waiting on the pic rail from XLR to strap the Atlas PSR on it.
Hoping to get 2550 out of some 140gr RDFs
I’m still doing load development, but getting around 2700 with 42.8gr of H4350. 2730 with 43.1gr of H4350. Likely going with 43.1gr as it was consistent single digit SD and obviously a little faster with only mild pressure signs. Now onto seating depth test.
Rifle is a tikka CTR with 18” carbon six sendero
