8.6 BLK headspace question?

[Dragonetti]

I just received my Faxon Remage barrel for the 8.6 BLK. I am looking for headspace gauges. Any suggestions?

I am still searching for ammo. This will he a hunting rig.

Since the parent case is the 6.5 CM I can think of one idea

A.) use virgin brass and mod to case dimensions below and use the old painters tape or shim stock as the No-Go. Load a mid to max sub load for pressure testing and give it hell.

That’s my plan. I just ordered a 16”.

Link to case dimensions.

Hmmm, I was hoping not to make something custom. I guess I can sacrifice some Lapua brass.

Did anyone happen to order an extra 12" barrel they would sell?

Remage or AR?

 

[Ianl931]

AR. I believe I found one but open to another.

Ok. I have a Remage coming in tomorrow.

Manson Reamers have the 8.6 gauges.

What would be a good muzzle device for this sucker? The thread pitch is m18x1.5 with a 20 degree shoulder. The cherry bomb is not out yet. I would like to have a quick detached for a future suppressor.

Wouldn’t it make sense to decide on a can first and the brake for it second?

 

[Dragonetti]

It would. I would probably get Omega 36M, but not sure what would be best for this caliber.

I see the Omega 36M is rated for 308/7.62 at 16 inches of barrel. I will be using a 12 inch barrel. I need to do some more research for subs and supers on the ammo.

Well the pistol is built.

Need to get an optic and muzzle device.

What length forend did you go with?

What length forend did you go with?

It has the 10.5 inch forend.

The m18x1.5 thread pitch is limited to Q Cherry Bomb (not release yet), Surefire, and Dead Air. I was hoping the Dead Air Xeno, but doesn't look like it. I guess I could go with KeyMo on a Dead Air Primal.

Silencerco has m18x1.5 thread pitch brakes for their ASR system.

I was debating on screech owl vs porksword and opted for pork sword. Looks bad ass!

How do you like that chassis?

Posted in error, disregard.

I have the same chassis with a rifle stock. Chassis is great. Just in a debate whether to register it as an SBR or sell the 12" barrel for a 16" and stop worrying about those three letter agencies.
