Anyone here have the 22” proof steel barrel? Curious what profile it is compared to the shorty 16 carbons. Says heavy, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one on a rifle haha.
The Fix from Q

I have one of them sitting here that I bought to have cut back, but decided to just run the factory barrel since it shoots so sell so I'm probably just going to sell it. It's basically a medium palma. The 6CM Proof CF I had on one of my previous fixes was basically just their Sendero light modified a pit at the breach end.
I’ve got one for sale in the Buy - Sell forum. It’s a heavy barrel compared to the 16” Proof steel 308 barrel I have or the 18” Proof Carbon Creedmoor barrel on the gun now.
I would definitely use that barrel for Range work/training.
Sorry, missed the Proof part, the one I have for sale is an original Q barrel.
Picked up my 6.5CM Fix a couple weeks ago, I’m not seeing any feeding issues with either PMags or the Lancer mags. I’m not experiencing heavy bolt lift either with factory ammo.
Quick question for those with the 6.5CM owners that reload: Any advice on large or small primer brass?

I ordered a MKM Precision grip for my mini fix. I’ve seen one on a fix that’s why I bought it but what do you do with the two springs going into the frame that the grip compresses? Ones for the safety and other for trigger?
The safety spring drops into the pocket just like with any AR grip. The other spring that’s on an angle just gets pushed up when you mount the new grip.
Ok I’ve never messed with AR grips and the reason it threw me off was I had a Ergo grip at the house that fit the frame but there was no pocket for safety spring but it came off of my FX air rifle. Thanks for the info!
Well after reading 99 pages of this thread I have to say a few things.
1 the early fix rifles had feeding problems
It seems like they corrected that.
2 We have a bunch of whiney children on here
3 My rifle in 6.5cm feeds smk,barnes mb, 147,143,140elds all cycling slow or fast.
4 Yes these rifles are accurate. That's a 200yd group 147gr with H4350.

I’ve been good with small primers in my Fix 6.5 creed proof barrel.
I really like the Henny it’s made me start looking for the poor man’s version a Zeiss FL 4-16X50
I had a small mark in my receiver. It was something to do with a shim in the bold body. I’ve got a replacement bolt at white birch armoury. I just need to get it to England. Although I’ve sorted my issues with the current bolt so it functions. Mine was a very early model.
I had a 6mm Creedmoor that was one of the first 50 rifles made, another pretty early 308, and then more recently a newer production 6.5. Not a single feeding issue with any of them so that’s not an accurate statement.
Trying to get all of my junk on the same wavelength and going to go full arca with everything - anyone have a sawtooth/full length arca rail they want to get rid of?
also on that note, sawtooth makes amazing stuff in general, but assuming solid quality of anyone thats handled them?

.Yeah they make great stuff. This is their 12.38” on a 15” hand guard. Works great on my tripod/RRS ball head setup.

Theres never been a source for extensions for the fix or mini fix, and they dont plan to make them available.
That’s discouraging. Noticed someone on YouTube was able to buy one from Q so I’m guessing that’s because they’re a famous YouTuber or something like that
Yes, thats likely the case. There have been a handful out there, but the rest of us just scavenge the extension from the Fix factory barrels.
I wonder if they got the light strike issues ironed out on the mini. Is it ironic to anyone else that they list the mini rifle as 5.56 nato after all the teeth gnashing about “machine gun primers” being the reason they wouldn’t go bang.
If they ever release a 16-20” 6 arc mini and they ok it to full pressure ammo I’d be tempted.

I had a barrel made and sent Q the barrel to have the extension installed, $200.
Back when kevin was on here I got him to let us do it with whatever barrel because it would be on us if the barrel was shit. I mentioned doing it back then.
I was enjoying my q fix rifle today.
I like this rifle. You're up! (100 yards)

It's a battle ship game target. The squares are one inch I think, and the circles are a little bigger than 1/2 inch.

I asked this question a few months back and got no replies.. decided to get one and try it for myself and I really like it. Light weight, accurate and well built. The only thing that suprised me was the trigger is not adjustable. Not that it really matters as after it broke in I am happy with it. After I got the first one I found a 224 Valkyrie barrel and bolt so I bought another rifle and converted it over. No light strikes, sub inch accuracy with 5 round groups. Have a couple of sig cross rifles that I shoot all the time and I think the build quality of the fix is a step up as it should be for the additional $. That said I am not going to sell off the cross rifles, I will just shoot them all..lol
Hope that helps?
I have very few rounds through mine but 550yd impacts were easy with Varmint ammo and a 1-8x ATACR
Does anyone know of a company that makes or will make a carbon fiber handguard for The Fix? I use mine mostly in the winter while hunting, and the carbon fiber would stay warm to the touch. Maybe even lighten the rifle a little as well.
I don’t thing there will be any one producing a carbon forend. I just put some vet wrap round my forend to hold. Works well but we don’t get as cold as you will experience.
Carbon and aluminum aren't all that different in weight when it comes to rails; I would wager that a carbon one that meets MLOK (let alone QSert) strength specifications would weigh more than aluminum. The barrel pinch geometry of the Fix would make carbon even more challenging.
Happy to read the good reviews of the mini fix. The fact that they are creating 6ARC bolts and barrels makes the mini incredibly intriguing for me.
What’s not intriguing is the company that only wants to support their products when they feel like it. They don’t care when or if end users can get parts to make their switch barrel systems actually switch barrel, or get parts like big butts to make them not suck to shoot. They don’t even seem to care when one of their huge dealers can get ARC bolts after they’ve invested tens of thousands of dollars into ordering Proof barrels for support their guns..
You can get a quality aftermarket action that will shoot everything both size Fix’s will and more combined into one system, isn’t limited on AR mag OAL, has better triggers, is easier to swap barrels, and drop it in a MDT HNT26 and have a rifle that’s just as light and handy.
