GAP 10 questions

[StoopidSlow]

Could the rife be had in .300 win mag? Any reason this would be a bad idea? 22'' barrel cut it? Thanks in advance.

In case you wondering I just looking for something between .308's less than astonishing bc/mv and the expensiveness of .338/lack of semi auto practicality.. I think 300 is a good medium?

hopefully I'm not making an ass of myself asking....

Has anyone ever made a gasser 300wm?

The GAP-10 and all other true "AR-10's" are based on a short action, for a .300 Win Mag you need a long action. I've seen some attempts at this but do not believe POF is doing it.

You may be able to talk GAP into to building you a 300WSM, 300RSAUM, or 300RCM though. Each of these nearly duplicates the 300 Win Mag.

ahh except they are short action and could be chambered in the GAP 10 rifle i take it?

If you want better BC then go with the 6.5cm in the GAP 10. It hammers down range just fine.

Yes the three cartridges I mentioned are short action magnums. The issue is getting them to feed properly in a semi auto, no one has done it well that Ive seen.

Though i've done my research and if anyone could do it it would be ga....

** i don't know much about creedmore,as long as like i said its more affordable than the big cartridges i'm sold.

Re: GAP 10 questions

though something more conventional makes sense for obvious reasons i suppose

Re: GAP 10 questions

I asked a year ago if they would make one in a 7WSM and I think George said it wouldn't cycle reliably.

Re: GAP 10 questions

300 wm pressures in this platform would be off the charts. Correct?

Re: GAP 10 questions

Again, there is reasons why you dont see LA AR10 platforms.... they just aren't going to be reliable.


6.5CM in a GAP10 would be pretty sick!

Re: GAP 10 questions

On the GAP 10 or Precision AR-10/LR-308 etc platform, we only offer calibers that are standard boltface and will fit into a typical 308 magazine.

--243 (mag length not suitable with larger bullets), 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, 260, 6.5x47 Lapua (shoulder angle may cause feed issues), 7-08, 308, 338 federal and the like.
