I am in Greensboro, NCHi everyone, first post here.
Finally in a position where I might be able to pick up my grail gun (or one of them at least) - an SRS. Was thinking of a Covert/18”6.5CM to start, something that can pull double duty as a suppressed hunting rifle and hopefully hit plates up to 1000m. I also have access to a mile range here, so there’s room to grow. I have an Sig SRD338 and Leupold mk6 3-18x sitting around waiting for a host as well, so I figure they’d all make a good combo.
My problem though, is I have never so much as seen an SRS in person, let alone handle one. I can’t find a single dealer in the state that has one on hand. Anyone in NC able to let me see their gun in person before I pull the proverbial trigger?
if still available, plz respond.Hey Gents, just wanted to share that I have a 6.5 PRC barrel in the PX forum. 24", 7 twist, spiral flute with 5/8x24 thread, also comes with a Short Action Customs 6 round modified magazine (sold as a pair). Hoping to move it quickly, due to some medical stuff. Listed price on the PX can be negotiable, just DM me. Bought it from a Hide member, never got a chance to use it, would like to find it a good home.
I have Proof Carbon blanks on the shelf for 6.5 and a couple 22.5” 300 PRC’s that are ready to go.Are there any shops cutting barrels? Thinking of grabbing a 22" PRC proof carbon but need someone to chamber and fit it to the extension
Make a ski trip out to SLC, UT and I’ll get you behind one.Hi everyone, first post here.

Sent my HTI in a few weeks back. DT sent me an email a few days ago asking if there was anything else I would like them to check before they send it back. I’m assuming they were not able to repeat the issue. They also sent pics of two targets one with a group on the bottom and one with a group on the top.It started as soon as I got it back. First shot would be good but then would vertical string a few inches farther up for each shot. Windage would stay close to correct. The other calibers would vertical string also but not nearly as bad.
Thank you I will have them check thatMine had something to do with the barrel vise. Possibly not clamping on the barrel the same everytime making it string vertically.
That's correct. We have a few in stock.What all is included with a SRS-A2 forearm conversion kit? Is it just the rail? I found only one place that lists a description:
Includes:
Is this correct? Nowhere else shows a description and the only photo is just of the handguard itself. Desert Tech’s website sucks by the way andI belive they outsource their customer service considering they can’t answer questions.

You are close to Desert Tech HQ?Send me your HTI barrel or release it from DT to me as I’m local. I’ll burn it up looking for the problem LOL. only partly kidding
Just got tracking for my barrel and even with the holidays it took 14 weeks from date of order....that's not too bad!I've probably ordered 5 or 6 barrels from him. I have no complaints with either K&P barrels or his work
Damn! I ordered a 300NM barrel a few years ago and I think it took me four weeks and that was mainly waiting on the barrel extension to come in. 18 months is insane!Impressive. My latest took 14 months but I suspect the long delays I've seen from Eric in the past year have more to do with ordering 30" or longer barrels. Or in the case of PVA, just ordering something not 6mm or 6.5mm. I'm at a year and half waiting on a .300NM barrel.
Maybe @bohem will post a price in this thread. All his other pricing is public.PVA will do them. I sent an old barrel with extension, so you'd probably have to do the same. I'd just recommend sticking to a common cartridge for them, otherwise there's a long wait for retooling and whatnot.
Heck I don’t have old barrels yet. I’m adding to the pile.PVA will do them. I sent an old barrel with extension, so you'd probably have to do the same. I'd just recommend sticking to a common cartridge for them, otherwise there's a long wait for retooling and whatnot.

Us Desert Tech guys are looking for other options for desert tech barrels. ES Tactical is a good source. I have one on order with him right now. Short Action Customs are out of there minds for what they command for one. They aren’t even an option for me and probably many others.
You guys have chambered 5 or 6 Tikka and Sako barrels for me (Rock Creek) and they have all been hammers. Would you contour and chamber desert tech barrels? Do you need a takeoff to get the long DT shank correct so that the barrels are clamped by the chassis correctly? Someone may even have a factory drawing straight from desert tech so you can chamber prefits and the end user can just torque on a barrel extension at home or send one to you in advance. Any thoughts?
Starting at $1600 is steep. May be poor but I’m not stupid.Gbpswe
Depends on who you ask. To me, yeah. To you, maybe not. I can confidently say that I’m not alone in my view and neither are you.Is it stupid though?
Once we get through the CDG Prefit GB in the next couple weeks we are doing the odds and ends (aka 300nm that I owe @Dogtown for at least a year too long)@bohem

When you do this, post back in this thread and let us know. I will put at the very least one barrel on order with you right away. I will say upfront that I DO NOT have the patience of @DogtownThen I’m adding the DT barrels without an extension on the website. Price will be $40 more than regular shouldered prefits to account for the particular shank and shoulder details.
Thanks, will doWhen you do this, post back in this thread and let us know. I will put at the very least one barrel on order with you right away. I will say upfront that I DO NOT have the patience of @Dogtown
Which contour is that?Got the new barrel installed and the added weight makes this thing balance much better, now just waiting on ammo and components!

Maybe they are checking that now. I made that suggestion to them after your post, still have not heard anything back yet.Mine had something to do with the barrel vise. Possibly not clamping on the barrel the same everytime making it string vertically.
Hopefully they are. I'm curious as to how it groups when you get it back.Maybe they are checking that now. I made that suggestion to them after your post, still have not heard anything back yet.
As am I. How many times did you say you had to send it back before the problem was accurately diagnosed?Hopefully they are. I'm curious as to how it groups when you get it back.
