Gradous AR10 6.5 Creedmoor

[Bob L Swagger]

The legendary bolt rifle man, Robert Gradous, has ventured in the gasser world... I’m awaiting dies but in the mean time I tried Hornady 140 eld factory match ammo. I’m looking forward to seeing what it’ll do once broken in & a load development has been completed. More reports to come!! Thank you again Mr. Gradous!!! HUGE props to Insite Arms!! Their brakes are TOP OF THE LINE!!!! Thank you Harley!!

I’m looking at JP for a low mass carrier, and was just wondering if you can feel a difference with this unit. I’m already running their bolt and barrel in my Creed. Also, what kind of buffer and spring system are you running? I’m considering the captured spring system from JP also. Rifle looks great, looks like it shoots great for you too. Nice build.

Sorry sir, I cannot compare it to anything else other than recoil is basically that of a bolt action .243 win. I am running a JP silent capture buffer in the lower.

 

[Jeffd]

Great job on the build!

IF your asking if you will feel a difference between full and low mass carriers, the answer is yes... and it is a substantial difference.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve got some match fees and the expenses that go with PRS matches coming up, so hopefully towards the end of the summer, I will be able to continue to improve this thing.

You can feel the difference, but the JP recoil reduction really shines when combined w/ a good comp, adj gas block, lw carrier and their buffer system. The sum of the parts really tames the big gas guns.

Seems to appreciate 130 prime ammo..

Porn..

Really disappointed, you've gone from one of the best IPA's (Space Dust) to Bud Light Platinum. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!?!

Waiting on a barrel from PVA for a similar build. Hoping it shoots as well.
