Nope...not yetDid you ever find out anything else on this? I'm interested in the 8.6 kit but only with the fast twist.

I still have a bit of wait on mine. Looks like you ordered one and then decided what the hell, and ordered a second. After a day of thought you figured might as well get that third one you know you wanted. Am I right?View attachment 8050222
Happiness is getting confirmation of new barrels shipping...
Thanks a ton for the detailed response!For carbon, Special Purpose Rifles is who you want to talk to, but rumor has it Proof isn't making SRS-compliant blanks anymore, so be sure to call SPR first.
Otherwise, the following regularly do SRS barrels:
ES Tactical
Short Action Customs
And then there are some places that can do them, but you need to check with them first:
TS Customs
Patriot Valley Arms
Benchmark
DMR
Edit: the less regular folks often need you to send in a worn out barrel as they either don't easily source the barrel extensions. SAC makes their own extensions, and ES has no problem sourcing extension and can use an existing extension on an older barrel.
Carbon Six also makes a carbon DT blank if you can find someone to do the machine workThanks a ton for the detailed response!
Daniel at Primal Finish has a some badass Kuiu cerakotes, does great work tooAnyone have a place they recommend for paint/coloring work?
I usually use the camo coban, wanted to try a Kuiu Verde pattern to match the camo I have.
Tried a vinyl wrap myself (not precut, just big old sheet I tried to finagle)… that didn’t look too pretty.
Suggestions?
I did recently pick up a 450BM barrel as well, should be delivered later this week.Not a 300 BO, but a 450 Bushmaster conversion with the Hybrid 46 and some subsonic rounds is a blast to shoot with the SRS.
sorry, my phone effed up the post, I edited itWhat are we looking at?
Nice work!So, I had a load for my 75ELD that was a humdinger on my 18" plate at 1180 yards. RL15. Then I accidentally ruined my last 8# of it by mixing in some 2015. Devastating. Can't find RL15 anywhere. But my 25.5 grain load (Hornady brass) varied wildly with temperature, and had sh!t for SD - 25 fps SD was typical. So even though it was screaming at 3025 fps in summer (2950 in winter) and shot around 1/2 MOA, I asked some of you for suggestions above for a VARGET load.
My SD with varget 25.0/Hornady brass/205M were about 18, so first thing I did was prep some old Lapua brass (I used hornady for the extra 1.0 grains H20 capacity: 30.5 grains H20), and reduce the charge from 25 to 24 and 24.5 (cuz lapua lower capacity: 29.5 grains H20) and that latter load looks like where the money is for my SAC barrel (loading on a supertrickler, so all are +/- 0.02 grains). I'm losing about 60 fps compared to RL15 but gaining temp stability, more accuracy, and lower SD (which is probably the brass). Thanks for the guidance guys!
(And yes, I'm shooting 10 shot groups now after the Hornady #50 podcast. FOr 223 its not a problem and I have a mattress inflator that I use as a high CFM barrel cooler, so I just shoot a string and then blow it for 5 minutes and then repeat.)
Do these guys have a website. I couldn’t find one and don’t have FB, Twitter or whatever that screenshot come from.Anyone bought one of these yet, so pretty
Easy to check Instagram...^^^agree, a google search of the IG username yielded nothing
Hi guys,
its probably somewhere in the thread but ,
we’re can I get a mag/chamber flag like the one Chidj uses on pg 308 . Thanks
Have you checked the screws on the scope mount ? Is th3 scope moving?Had some odd things happen over the last few days with my HTI. I have my optic 0’d to my .408 barrel normally and the offset for the .375 barrel with ATIPS is 4” right. I have been using the 375 barrel more in recent months to do ATIP load development. I put on the .408 barrel to chronograph a new lot of Peterson brass and my first shot was 9” high. The second was right on the point of aim and the other three were 4” high. I then took a shot at the 400 meter target and was about 10” high. Chronograph did not show any deviations in velocity average of 2860 9 fps ES.
I did notice that three of the front screws on the optic were a bit loose so I torqued them down to the recommended 15 inch pounds.
Yesterday I was testing ATIPS with H50BMG .100” of the lands. 1st shot went 12” high and the second two were at point of aim 1/2 MOA group. Chronograph did not show any significant deviation in velocity, single digit ES. None of the screws on the optic were loose
I am thinking my optic is going tits up. Or is there something on the chassis that could cause this?
Any of you have anything similar happen before?
I did and as far as I can tell it’s notHave you checked the screws on the scope mount ? Is th3 scope moving?
Have you tried another opticI did and as far as I can tell it’s not
I hope that’s the problem.Id bet ur optic is phucked
Yeah...definatley try another. Some time ago i was having all sorts of issues with horizontal variations....thought to myself it cant be the optic cause it was a New ZCO 5-27. well as it turns out it was indeed the Optic!!! Fitted an old Nightforce NXS i use for testing and all was good.Have you tried another optic

Any luck finding a forearm? I have been looking also. Didn't want to pay over 400 when I could get them but I guess I should have bitten the bullet thenTrying to locate a A1 standard length forearm. Also want to buy or rent the removal tool. Thanks
Going to be pretty difficult, their tech support seems to be less than capable. They struggle with doing the simple things like answering correspondence.I'm interested in what you find out what was/is the cause.
My 416 barrett conversion kit wouldn't fit in my chassis, the other 3 conversions did. I sent it to DT, they worked on the chassis to get it to fit. Sent it back to me. It went from 3/4" groups with the 50bmg barrel to vertical stringing 12"-14". Changed the scope to make sure it wasn't that. It wasn't so I sent it back again. This probably went on 3 month's or so iirc with warranty and various others including Nick Young. I was told they'd take care of it and in the end, they sent me a new chassis. It was definitely aggravating. I figure like everywhere else in the country, no one wants to get a job and work anymore. I'm just curious if there's something in the clamping/vise area that can cause this.Going to be pretty difficult, their tech support seems to be less than capable.

My last 3 SRS conversions didn’t fit, had to modify the extension. Yet the SAC 223 kit fit perfectly fine. I like my SRS but the quality of their work has gone downhill at least 6-7 years ago. I’ll certainly never buy another DT product.My 416 barrett conversion kit wouldn't fit in my chassis, the other 3 conversions did. I sent it to DT, they worked on the chassis to get it to fit.

I'm on the fence about buying another HTI chassis, just not sure if I want to yet. I have 2 Elite Iron cans in waiting and would like to have 2 systems set up ready all the time. It seems like some of the barrel extensions are out of spec.My last 3 SRS conversions didn’t fit, had to modify the extension. Yet the SAC 223 kit fit perfectly fine.
