jtallen83 Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 And I use the term pig in a loving way, bless her heart. Started the build because the BA 20 in. match barrel (.936 at the block) came real cheap from a guy that decided it was too heavy for his daughter to hunt with Had the Matrix receiver set from Primary Arms hanging around since it didn't play well with an Aero rail. Cerakoted it tactical grey before I knew it wouldn't work so the color theme for this build was chosen. This rail is a Wilson Combat with some sort of special coating that gives it a dark silver look. Very solid rail, WC is blowing out this style so some bargains to be had there. The Magpul grey stock matched the tone of the build, much sturdier than I anticipated. The Magpul K+2 grip doesn't match the grey stock well for being the same makers. Used a Brownell's BCG, super stiff and just barely let the go gauge chamber. The muzzle device was blended into the barrel nicely. Not sure what I think of the linear comp but that may need to change for an AAC 51T. Used a Tubbs spring in the Aero rifle recoil kit. Used an Aero LPK and of course a LaRue MBT trigger. The pig was past the 14 pound mark before I put the AADMOUNT scope mount and Bushnell XRS 4.5x30, now it's a top heavy pig! Ran 30 rounds, 20 Federal M80 and 10 FGMM 168's on the target, only a three round group as this was mainly a functions check and a zero the scope kinda trip. Had a few failure to fire, bolt was just a little short, the trigger went but the round didn't. Only happened with the M80 and then only when putting three or more in the magazine. I'm thinking a few more rounds to find it's glide path and the BCG will drive them home in that tight chamber. It was super easy on the brass, no dents or serious scratches and it put them in a sweet little pile at 4 O'Clock. I'm liking the extra speed gained on follow up shots, all that weight plants the rifle pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Those WC rails are solid. I've got one on one of my SBR builds. If the rifle goes click, you can beat them with the rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belt Fed Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Nice job on the rifle, it really looks nice. Those forward direct muzzle devices are the way to go. No eardrum busting noise like a brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it didn't shoot so nice it would get an AAC 51T brake for the SDN-6 suppressor and become really quiet. Not sure I want to change a thing now, the brake really did help with the noise level at the shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbull Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Here is a bench pig barrel 😁 1.250 behind has block 1.125 gas block 1 inch to the muzzle 21.375 OAL chambered in 6.5 creedmoor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Must be like shooting a pellet gun!.....once you get it to the bench. So what are you expecting group wise? Everything is a trade off but you come away due a lot of accuracy for that weight, very cool project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbull Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Well it better be Sub MOA 🤣 I have to order some uppers but the hand guard I’m still debating if I wanna order one or make my own? But yes it’s fairly heavy before I fluted it the barrel weighed 7 lbs on the dot and after its 4.5 lbs. I will have to get some creedmoor ammo as i only have 260 rem right now. Originally made this for a friend but he has since decided he didn’t want to build an AR 10 variant anymore. So most likely I will just sell it.

jtallen83 Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Only shot one nine round group with this rifle my last trip home, didn't have what I thought I did for ammo on the range trip. She did well for a pig with an ebay barrel, 9 shots at just over an inch, take away the flyer and it gets tight, at least for me. If it will do this a few more times in different weather conditions then this one is a done deal, won't even add a 51T for the suppressors so I don't mess anything up. May just get some half MOA out of this one when I see what she likes for ammo, only shot groups with 168 FGMM so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtallen83 Posted May 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 The rifle continues to throw one out of 10, Granddaughter shot this 10 round group at 100 yards. She called the flyer on the spot, haven't had her on the range for nearly a year and this was her first 10 shots with this particular rifle so not bad at all! The girl can shoot and she's smart!
