We’ve sold lots of DT rifles and I don’t recall ever seeing a barrel with the A2 flutes that had 3/4x24 threads that wasn’t .338. Learn something new everyday.My barrel is fluted, exactly like the photo below. I seem to have a setup that is not acknowledged by DT. I have an SRS A2 covert with A2 barrel and 3/4x24 threads. DT says it's not possible, but tell that to my 3/4x24 to 5/8×24 adapter I have to run.

Anyone running a 6 Dasher or 22 Dasher and feeding successfully ? I have a modified magazine for my 450 BM to reduce the coal so I think it should feed but not sure due to the taper of the cartridge.
What about 22Br/6BR ?

Anyone know where one might acquire molle compatible mag pouches for the 8rd and 10rd mags? Ideally they'd have some kind of positive retention feature. My google foo has not been able to find the droids I'm looking for.
Excellent gear! I’ve bought the bolt, mag and barrel bags. All GTG.

I’ve searched and didn’t find anything.
Does anyone know whether there’ll be a .277 Fury barrel for the SRS?
Uses the same bolt face as .308 Win, and if the SRS barrel extension can handle .338 at normal pressures, .277 at 80k PSI should be just fine?
Looking at this picture (from gunsamerica.com), we should be able to rebore a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel chamber to fit the .277 Fury.

I wouldn’t expect one from DT, but if components become available and someone has a reamer made, I don’t see why not? Maybe there’s some modifications required for the bolt to handle higher than normal pressures?
The SRS bolt can already take a lot of pressure as proven by PR’s testing.
Re: 277 Fury
As soon as someone decides to pay for one to be made, they (where they is any one person with the needed tooling and a desire to help someone else experience what short throat life means) will make them. There's unlikely to be any in stock anywhere if for no other reason than DT barrels not made by DT are pretty much one-off custom items out of the gate anyway.

We've done some for customers. Too long to mag feed. I'd recommend going heavy on the barrel profile to add some weight as there's a good amount of recoil especially on the 37 XC.
Guys, I need a bit of assistance. I was shooting a field match and decided to use my 25 PRC barrel (I have an A1 chassis). The issue I ran into is I didn't think ahead when ordering the barrel. I went with a straight 1.045" barrel, but I didn't think about the QD from my sling. When I tried to attach the QD, I found I didn't have enough clearance between the handguard and the barrel, so the tip of my QD was touching the barrel. Since I don't have an MLOK fore end, like the A2, is there another way of adding a QD point somewhere?
I doubt we'd ever see one from DT. I'm sure someone will do it at some point. Curious as to what barrel life is like pushing that sort of pressure.
The caliber seems interesting. More optimized for a system that needs to run .308 mag length cartridges, which we are not restricted to on the SRS Platform. If you're looking for a laser beam, you can grab something like a 28 Nosler.
I tend to favour military calibres due to economy of scale and availability that makes it’s way down to the civilian market, so .277 Fury, .300 NM and .338 NM has all my attention currently in selecting my next conversion kit.

Put a rail on it, then this: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1003245176?pid=746994
Not exactly "sleek", but it will work.
I can understand that. We have 300 NM barrels on the shelf and have .338 blanks on hand. For custom barrels, I'm curious as to what we will see for demand on a .277 fury. I don't see tons of advantage in a bolt action rifle. I can see many pros that it has in a short/compact semi auto.
The same could be said about the 223 Rem conversion SAC makes.
I think it could be useful, e.g. here in Australia, .270 is the minimum calibre to hunt Sambar with.
Plus the aforementioned future ammo availability, so a potentially viable upgrade to the .223 Rem.
I ordered a similar one yesterday. I'm just going to mount the rail section a little further back

I disagree. The 223 SAC kit is unbelievable. The only piece of kit I’ve ever regretted selling. I’ve owned many Gucci gassers and none of them ever came close.
You’re misunderstanding my response.
I mean exactly what you said, someone that doesn’t have a 223 SAC kit might think, why would I ever want one in a bolt gun?
The same goes for 277 Fury. I think like the 223 SAC kit, it’ll be well received.
30” still right? What twist do you put on them?
How much less do they weigh than a standard factory barrel?
Just to emphasize just how accurate the HTI is...
I have just removed the IVEY adjustable mount i was using and have re installed a SPUHR 13mil fixed IMS mount. This arvo i re zeroed the HTI.
Note... DT factory 375CT barrel has now just over 1300 rounds through it!! and It still shoots like this!! 2x "3 shot" groups and 1 x "5 shot" group at 110yds..

30” The barrels we have are 1:10. We have some 1:8 on order.
for weight reduction numbers I’d need to go back double check. If I’m remembering correctly it was over 2 lbs.
Would a Terminator T5 muzzle brake negatively affect barrel harmonics on those carbon fiber barrels? They are a bit heavier than standard DT brakes.
