New adventure 6.5 PRC

[Bigbull]

Well starting another BIG barreled build. This is gonna be a 32 inch 6.5 PRC build! Got a 32 inch x caliber 1x7 5r blanks, I’m making my own 1 3/16 adjustable gas block along with a 21.75 gas tube, I will be going 5.75 + over rifle length on the gas. I have a double ejector bolt I will be opening up to fit the rim of the case. This will definitely be a bench gun 🤣 I’ll be making the muzzle brake also and some other odd end parts.

6.5 PRC is an awesome, accurate cartridge - looking forward to the build on this one, and the results.

Yeah gotta get it built to take out in the desert and stretch its legs !! See what it can do!

What desert are you talking about? - I've got plenty of distance in my piece of the desert.  You're more than welcome to bring them down here near me, anytime.

Northern Nevada ,where are you located ?

[Bigbull]

98 do you turn your own tubes ? If you do I’ll give you a couple of these gas blocks I make if you wanna do some heavy barrel stuff?

Awesome, you can truly say you are actually building a gun.

Neat ctg. I was gazing fondly at my 6-284 remington 40x-C and thinking it needs an update.

Just south of Phoenix.  I WISH I had the tools and machines to build my own barrels, man.  I would be living the dream. 

The heaviest-barreled thing I shoot is a .50 BMG bolt action single shot, that a friend has.  That thing is a pig, but it gets it done.  I've got a few "heavy barrel" guns in the inventory, but they're nothing like what you're making.  What you do makes those things look like pencil-profile barrels...

Here is a picture of the gas tube I will be using for the PRC compared to the standard AR10 gas tube.

Accuracy pics?  You got anything that shows the accuracy of these super-fat barrels?  I'm sure they do well, but there's been no target pics of date, that I could find.  I'd love to see those.  It's gotta be serious... 

[Bigbull]

No I will when I take these out. I have about 4-5 toys I need to take out and sight in. As soon as I do that I’ll post some pics !
