KS63

I have your measurements and I’ll see if I can post the picture of my childish blueprint. All measurements begin from the upper receiver face as the rifle is assembled and I’m not taking the barrel out just to measure. Meh. PM me your cell number and I’ll send you the picture and you can call me if you have other questions.

I have one if you still need specs.

For what you paid for that Spikes receiver, I’d definitely alert them of that machining step. In no way should that be there. That’s on them.

Any of you tried with side chargers thought about converting the upper to a single shot? That's the end game for the 6.5 Creedmoor upper. Bench gun (mostly unless I use it for some Pronghorn hunting) that I can load my ammo COAL longer than magazine length. Manual loading of the rounds just like a BR rifle. I'm just weird like that. I like thinking outside the box.

Never thought about the Fulton Armory, although it's just basic machining. Not sure if it's worth my time to machine an upper for the price they're asking.

Price?

I know this is an old thread, but instead of shimming or having your muzzle shortened and re-crowned, just have a machine shop make a stainless steel spacer with a .625 I.D and an O.D. to correspond to the barrel O.D? It made one for a 5.56 that wouldn't index with the required shims.

Planning on building just an Upper for a 6.5 Creedmoore precision rifle and can only find two manufacturers, J-P and American Sporit Arms, through a Google search. Who here has done something like this? Any information you can throw this way would be appreciated, especially the Pro's and Con's of this conversion.

Thanks Rsquared! I work for a company that manufactures custom forged and billet crankshafts for most any application from NHRA TopFuel and Pro Stock, NASCAR Monster Energy/Sprint Cup/Winston Cup or whatever the heck they're calling it now, to individuals who have lots of $$$ to buy one.

First build in the works. Learning my way through the differences between the 308 and 5.56 platforms and seeing that there isn't a whole lot. I'm a machinist working in the automotive racing engine industry so I'm very particular about dimensions, materials and surface finishes of the parts I use. Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of this Forum.
