Shout out to Nick for great soft case and shooting mat combo. Tons of pockets which hold just about everything. Does anyone know where I might get a single barrel sleeve 22" or 26". I carry 3 barrels with the soft case! Thanks

Glad you like it sib1948. We made some prototype molle pouches for the barrels and they looked like ninja sword cases. We never ended up making production barrel pouches, we thought about doing a rollup barrel pouch kit that would allow multiple barrels to be carried in a round pack.
 
Mine also produced metal shavings initially and I was worried at first. but after putting 4 rounds of .308 into one hole prolly .35 inches at 100 the other day I'm really not too worried about it. Took awhile to develop a load but turns out that 16" barrel loves 43 gr 4064 with 178 amax seated to 2.79. Groups REALLLY tightened up when I seated the amax deeper which I'm still trying to figure out. But hey if it likes cheap "hunting" bullets I'm not complaining!

If anyone wants to trade 178's for 185 juggernaughts or 175 smk let me know!

Well the SAC 260 barrel I picked up shoots lights out of course. I called my vendor and cancelled the Gen 1 .260 conversion I've had on order with DTA for almost 14 months. I hope I don't have this much trouble getting Gen 1 parts in the future...
 
All the dta fans/affiliates should get together at SHOT somewhere sometime!

I'm shooting Wed. and Thur. How about Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill, 2nd floor @ Harrah's just south of Venetian Convention Center, Tuesday 1800 hours. Cheap-ish cold beer in mason jars, good food, nice waitresses, etc. I'm sure open to other suggestions but that's fast and easy. Takers?

I guess it wouldn't be my first choice... seeing how they are no friend of ours.

Any recommendations on a 6.5 SAUM barrel? SAC perhaps? I guess I am finding myself trying to hitch a ride on the 6.5 SAUM band wagon... I am liking the barrel life on a decent (relative) long range rifle. Have fun at the Shot Show I am VERY VERY bummed I can't make it. My 4th Son came early and is in the NICU so trip canceled. Little guy is doing much much better, but such is life... you never know what it will throw at you.

My bad. All right, f#$k those F#$cking f#$cks! How about The Bellini Bar on the casino floor @ The Venetian @ 1800hrs. on Tuesday? I'm certainly open to other suggestions, just trying to keep it easy and close for all...
That sounds good to me. That would let everyone get all googly-eyed at the show all day and will be a good time to get some stress out after day 1. I'm stayin at the wynn encore, so that's close enough. I know most people stay right down there by the Sands somewhere usually.

I'm for it. Who else is in?
 
I'd stock a few! That's a request I get fairly often. Just about all my customers have more than 2 conversions for their DTA.
Nick, if you could get around to making a few of these with or four pouches, I bet they'd sell like hot cakes. Good project for some of the other vendors here on the Hide, but know DT knows how to do this right!

I have a 7 SAUM for sale as well.

Sorry to hear about your son, but glad to hear he is doing better.

To the rest of you, I'd come hook up with you guys. is that Tuesday time and place firm?

Also curious about this. I have been delaying buying more mags because I keep thinking the 10-rounders are going to come out as soon as I buy some more 5-rounders.

It's not just me then. :) I'd like to keep this question alive.

Deserttech insiders: 10 rounders ever to be reality or always to be a myth??

Thank you :)

Well let's start @ The Bellini Bar @ The Venetian casino floor at 1800 and go from there. Hope to see Russ and any other DTA fans there/then.
 
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce the Desert Tech MDR!

Is there some advantage to keeping new products secret until the SHOT Show?

It seems to me that a manufacturer would want to generate interest before SHOT Show so that customers would already know they need to stampede to the right booth.

Why dilute interest and foot traffic by sharing the announcements with 2,000 other companies?
