Getting upset there 70? you better go "short stroke" yourself to relieve the stress. haha what a derp.
Dude, go @uck yourself. There are people much smarter than me in this thread. I was only offering up a basic checking point and you turned it into a dick measuring contest. I could care less who you are or what you think.
I would tend to agree. But where you are I would try to understand the situation more. I have found mine doesnt like cheap metal mags. So far the pmag seems to work well for me. (Don’t have larue mags, would love to try them but ain’t spending that coin on them)
Try KAC mags. There's a guy in the PX that has some 20 rounders for $65 which is a deal. They run the best, both of my Fix's fed like butter with them.
Anyone have q sling attachment? I put mine on today, screw stripped at slightest bit of tension. Any tips on getting it out? Figure I can find a replacement screw although the coloring/finish is different
Every time I check out this thread it’s a combo of guys cussing at each other and others complaining the gun not working right. Not sure what to think of this. Perhaps the gun has everyone angry and that’s what all the fuss is about.
What’s the fix?

I am new to reloading so just assume I know nothing but I have fix in 6.5 creed. Would anyone be willing to share their load data to give me some type of benchmark. also seems like my mag won’t allow me to reach the lands is that the case for everyone or am I measuring wrong?
I have an older box of Hornady factory ammo. They used to print load data on the box to mimic factory ammo. They list 41.5 gr of H4350, Federal 210M primer. COAL 2.810". 2700 FPS out of a 24" barrel. Every rifle is different, but I think that's a safe starting point. Work up your load data from there.
I would check the reload depot on here. Only issue with oal is pmag length. I just load to mag length and go
keep me posted on how it works after you get it back and the overall turn around time.
Anyone know where to find a 22-24” Proof Carbon barrel for the Fix? Can’t seem to find them anywhere.
If anyone is looking for a 16” (less than 100rds) and wants to swap their 20”+ Proof Carbon Fiber send me a DM. I will toss in a few $ to even the deal.
Everyone else is out shooting their rifles that are working fine and not on here complaining, would be my guess.
Mine has been running fine, though I wish I had an unlimited ammo budget, haha.
probably a different barrel for The Fix. I know I am looking for the same. I’m looking for a longer barrel in the 20”+ range in 6.5CM. They seem to be very hard to find.
What cartridge? I have a new in box Proof prefit in 6CM. Make you a crazy deal.
They had it since 1/24. Shipped out back to my FFL on 2/27 and appears to be heading for the wrong address if tracking is correct...
Hopefully it gets to you. Let us know once you get it, what they did to it and if it feeds reliably now (even if you run the bolt slow).
Better than I can shoot that’s for sure. I really like the lightweight and shorter length, but no doubt the 22” steel would add some stability, but I have bigger heavier guns if I want that kind of length. Super handy and the carbon fiber is just bad ass. Just waiting on replacing my full Nelson with a trash panda when the paperwork clears. Of course I may get a jumbo shrimp as well.

So I got a 308 barrel for my fix, mounted it but never shot it. Debating going back to the 22in creed...
not sure what to do
not sure what to do
They sent me the wrong tracking number. Picked it up today. Rezero'd just before dark.
Initial impression is that feeding is night and day different. Loaded a handful of rounds in a Larue mag and fed fine where they wouldn't even hit the feedramp before.
They installed the new cocking pieces to reduce bolt lift but I'm not sure I'm a fan of how easily the handle will lift now, cocked on a closed bolt. Having a round chambered should tighten it up but will have to check further.
New sn is 10xx so I guess I'm not a OG anymore.
I’ve had my fix for a while now and never had a problem. I recently swapped barrels from the 22” to the 16” 6.5cm. The new barrel is awesome, makes the gun feel the way it should and grouped great. After not shooting it for a few months I grabbed it out of the safe to cycle it and the bolt is insanely stiff. Like stuck stuff. I can cycle it but it feels like I’m about to break something. Has anyone experienced this? I don’t think it’s the new barrel because it was fine when I installed it and sighted in. I emailed Q to see what they think. The only explanation I can think of is being cold in the safe shrunk up some tight tolerances?? but that seems pretty crazy to me. Any help would be appreciated
That was the first thing I did, it had some residual but I put a bunch on and it had no affect on bolt manipulation.
I haven’t chrono’d mine yet but I’m hoping to get a load @2550 ish with 143 eldx, might try to work up a load with the 127 lrx as well. Check out the shorty rifles thread, there’s a ton of load data on shorter guns 16-20”
from my experience I would skip the 143. It doesn’t open up well. I would focus on the lighter bullets with a shorter barrel
I plan on trying out my new Comp Elec DLX chrono with my 16” 1:7 6.5 Fix with 140g ELD Match. Never used a chrono before so it should be a fun time, lol.
I appreciate the tip, I’ve had good luck with the eldx so far but have heard from others to be weary. 3 bucks and an elk in the last few years and all have expanded. I think I’m going to look at the 127lrx and maybe another in that weight range. Any suggestions for a good target/hunting bullet?
I will let you know when they get here, i heard the same for the JP 22" 224V but mine shot .25 moa with the 90 SMKs.
Just for an update, I contacted Q with an email explaining what’s going on. They were very responsive and sent me a shipping label almost right away. Both barrels and the rifle are on the way over, I’m pretty confident they are gonna take care of me.
