x-caliber AR-10 bull contour

[PRSDietitian]

So I am building a purpose built comp rifle for next season. When deciding on contour, I came across the Bull contour from x-caliber for their AR-10 barrels. As a heads up, I'm using a CRB blank, not an x-cal. Craddock is doing the barrel work. But just to see how it looks on a rifle, does anyone have an X-cal ar-10 bull contour barrel? Maybe 22"?

What handguard are you going to use? I've found that to be the limiting factor with thick barrels. If you're using a relatively narrow handguard clearance for the gas block if it's still within the handguard and MLOK accessories could be the issues.

Im currently having an MTU contour Mullerworks chambered but it's in a Seekins SP10M so there's tons of space. Probably going to end up as an 875 gas block. 24".

So, for this one, I’m going to be using a MK three handguard from JP so there’s going to be a lot of space

Here's one from X-Caliber in their bull contour at 20 inch. Just assembled it yesterday and still need to coat the barrel black.

Is that the ar-10 or ar-15? my understanding is the ar-10 has a thicker shank portion.
Btw that barrel looks like a CHONK! I love it!

It's the AR-10 (LR308) platform in 6.5 Creedmoor. I believe you're correct.

Perfect! I like how that barrel looks. While I will not be getting one from xcal, I will be getting one in the same contour at least from Craddock
