$100 for a 10 round mag? Is it gold plated or am I just cheap?I had some random feeding jams with Pmags, especially when working the bolt slow. Got a 10 round KAC and it feeds pretty damn smooth, haven’t used it live fire yet. 100 bucks for a mag sucks a lot though, I guess if it works 100% it’s worth it.
That seems just a bit slow honestly. I thought I read @jwknutson17 was doing 2550 with that ammo.

Does the KAC fit any tighter in the magwell? I need to get some velcro strips (shoutout to newguy2k3v2) and see if adding that to the area of the mag that contacts the magwell makes a difference. I have noticed that when mine binds up it is usually bc the feed angle causes the round to enter the chamber at a downward angle, and I am hoping that small amount of extra material back there will prevent that. Hell of a lot cheaper than KAC's overpriced gear. Love me some KAC but shit is overpriced.
Has anyone tried the 10 rounder from ASC? Allows 2.865 seating and it can be found for 12-17 bucks. Reviews seem good... I think im gonna try one.

Edit: the reviews I was reading on mag warehouse seem to include ALL 308 mags including Pmags etc. I found reviews for just the ASC mags on cheaper than dirt and it is really bad... this is why I happily pay more for KAC. It just works.
16.5 inch 6.5 Creedmoor Proof Carbon barrel wirh jam nut and extension, threaded 5/8-24 weighs 2lbs 4.25oz
Just weighed the Q 22inch 6.5 Creedmoor barrel without extension or jam nut but including the cherry bomb is exactly 3lb 9oz.

Anyone know if Q has a booth at shot this year? If so is anything being said about .300 WSM?
I hope the short mag idea doesn’t die on the vine.

Wait till you see these velocities from my 16.5. You might want a shorter one hahaThat looks badass. I want a 20” 6.5 Creed Proof for mine so bad. I’m going to call APA and try to give it another go, I already sold that barrel at a loss though because they told me it wouldn’t work.
I’ll take the carbon fix barrel out tomorrow to give it a go. Can’t wait!
The breech is pretty tight.... but the gap is big enough I can make my iPhone pick it up. It looks a lot bigger in person (the gap looks bigger) @redneckbmxer24
Shot the 16.5 proof 6.5 creedmoor barrel. Speed is about where I thought. I only have a cheap Caldwell Chrono. It isn’t very accurate at all and I’d never recommend anyone buy one. I need a magnetospeed but anyway.
20 rounds of factory Hornady 147 eld-m avg 2420. Based on the way the Chrono was acting when I used my pistol to test it I believe my speeds are actually higher but I need to get a real Chrono to find out.
I wasn’t shooting for groups as it’s only a 40 yard range. That will come soon. The limbsaver mod held up well. Feels good.
I’ve got some Peterson small primer brass I’m going to load up with the 147 eld-m and Reloder 16. So I can’t wait to put those together for this gun and see what it does. So far I love the proof barrel. It’s soooo much handier than the 22 inch barrel.
I’ll tell anyone who reads this. The fix rifle is the most revolutionary rifle and by far the most satisfying gun purchase I’ve ever made. I’d buy it again 10 times out of 10.
It wasn’t cheap that’s for sure. But worth it. I wanted weight savings AND stiffness. Plus it’s cool. Is it worth it? Yet to be determined. But a light awesome gun deserves a light awesome accurate barrel. I sent it to you PMs

I don’t think you’re going to find one of those anywhere. They have been sold out for a few months. There was one at cabelas in lehi Utah 3 weeks ago. You could call them. It was SN 332 or 322 or something like that.Does anyone know any dealers that have the 6.5 with the Bartlein barrel in stock? The Q dealer located has been down for a few weeks which makes it tough to call around.
Just the standard sendero. I didn’t order this barrel. I bought it in stock from a proof vendor.Which profile did you go with?
A 1.200" breech works. Just a slight change in the length of the threaded tenon. All the 6.5 CM 22" Medium Palma barrels have a 1.200" diameter breech.So to summarise, a 1.200” tenon Proof 16.5” 6.5mm barrel can be installed into a Q barrel extension and installed on our rifles.
Any idea what the tenon had to be turned down too to allow it to fit?

That’s funny. They spent 20 min trying to tell me it hadn’t ever been fired. They wouldn’t budge a penny but it had marks all over it and carbon on the Cherry bomb. Funny.Check with that Cabelas in Lehi Utah, I purchased it and returned it, should show up in a few days. I got a great deal on the rifle but I wasn't very impressed with the rifle as a whole, and in the time between my purchasing and receiving it, I read a lot of info that made me not want to do business with Q.
Every rifle is test fired. One or more proof rounds and shot for accuracy. The finish is susceptible to marring. Probably happened in the store.That’s funny.

What didn’t you like about it? I’ve never been more satisfied with a rifle.
Also keep an eye out on gun broker, they pop up used every once in a while.Does anyone know any dealers that have the 6.5 with the Bartlein barrel in stock? The Q dealer located has been down for a few weeks which makes it tough to call around.
