What do the barrels cost for the M-10?? What does the other bolt cost or is it just a bolt face??
I ordered the barrel exchange set here by my local gun store in the Netherlans, he will order it by the dutch supplier of Sako.
An exchange set costs €2100 that includes a complete bolt, magazine and barrel. because I ordered 2 sets I paid €4000 total.
@NiemiPT awesome gun you have.
I own a black M10 in .308 and i recently ordered two caliber exchange sets, one in 6.5 Creedmore and one in .300 Norma Magnum.
It’s lovely gun
I’m thinking about .308win caliber kit. Black would have been my choice too but I found this bit special two tone one and loved it!Shooting an M10 is a religious experience

At least when it was first shots ever with .338lm
I noticed that I started to blink my eyes again so I need some practice 
It took 3 months and few chats with chief of license office to get a license for this
I had a good reasonings!
Interesting. I’ve never heard that 6.5 CM and .300NM already available for order.
Nothing is on Eurooptic
I had been checking as well. Not that I NEED another caliber at this point I will ping Europtic and see what they say about availability in the US. The normal caliber kits here are $1600 or so.

) luckily there is the .300NM. when I requested the sets they had no answer they had to contact Sako first.But it was no problem to order them.
Such a nice gun! I need Atlas too. I’m not sure if I prefer PRS, CAL or 5H.
I have the PRS version because those legs cannot rotate, a friend of mine has the CAL version, I must say that it is very nice bipod. if i chose an atlas again i chose the CAL version.
I also recently ordered a Fortmeier bipod H210 12:00 model, another friend of mine has it on his Tikka Tac a1 and I must say that is a rock sollid pipod
Finnaccuracy also makes a picatinny adapter for the TRG bipod for those of us who love the TRG bipods.
TRG bipod would be one option. I feel that Harris is not that wide that I would like to have. It's not that stable under M10 and I would prefer wider bipod. It would be perfect to compare SCAL and 5H next to each other. I don't think that I need pan but I like the mount in 5H.
Sorry to resurrect a necro-thread but did anyone ever find a source for barrel extensions? Also, has anyone in the US been able to get factory 6.5CM or 300 Norma barrels? @AIAW @sennasteve ?
Negative on the 6.5 and 300nm my sources say. Sako supposedly shelved the idea during 2020. I think long rifles in s.d. built some extensions for one of the members . However your best bet may be to buy a barrel when they go on sale at the beretta store. Those barrels came straight out of complete conversion kits and have the extensions on them. I got two on sale for like 650.00 each.
I bought a 308 barrel on sale for about $550 last year. Kind of expensive for an extension but cheaper than getting a machine shop setup for a handful of product. LRI to my knowledge was thinking about producing some but never did. I contacted them last year about it and got the same answer. I think Chad has plenty of pots in the fire as it is. I would watch beretta's website and see if they come out with their 40% sale again.
Chad @LongRifles Inc. should be able to shed some light on the extensions. He does stand-up work and is well versed in Sako-land.
Usually you end up sacrificing a factory tube just to gain the extension, but it’s possible that he (or someone) is machining them now. Not a simple task as there is some interesting geometry with them.
I appreciate the kind words but this is a part I've never monkeyed with. Years ago I started to fart around with making them for the DTA stuff, but it just fizzled out.
I'm not against making them, but I would need someone to send us one to model up.
Wow, Beretta USA?
That guy from Norway has not received a 6.5CM barrel yet.

Got it through EuroOptic. My fingers are crossed but i'm not going to hold my breath to use a couple metaphors.
One ring/band, same as what's on the bolt. I had actually gotten the 6.5 CM kit. S160206771CBB
last week I was informed by the gun shop that the shipment is ready at Sako to be sent.
after 14 months of waiting I hope to finally receive the 6.5 Creedmore and .300NM in a few weeks

Didn't know Sako was offering 300 NM barrels. I'd would have ordered those instead of the 300 WM spares I had gotten.

Here are some results with my 6.5 M10 barrel. The federal stuff is junk and I’m using it to break in the barrel before switching to the Berger’s.

Does anyone know what the twist rate is on the 300 NM barrels are? Beretta usa says 11 but they say the same for the 338LM which I believe to be a misprint as the brochures I've seen out of sako say 10 twist on both calibers. 11 would be just stupid in my opinion.
Exactly. I just got a 338 barrel kit today and it was listed on beretta's website as 1:11 twist. Opened the box and its 1:10 which I figured it was. I called Beretta today and waited 20 minutes for an operator and then another 5 for an answer to the 300nm twist rate. The guy said it was 1:11 which I believe the numbnut got by looking at their own website. I have seen a brochure showing it at 1:10 but I think someone screwed up the translation. Just open a box and look dingle berry. I swear some of these people are morons. Who the hell would want 1:11 for 300nm, seriously?
Guys, is this not infact the complete m10 change kit to 300nm. Its in the beretta store now and 50 percent off.
