Bear Posted August 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 I'm looking at the Ballistic Advantage 24" stainless fluted barrel for my other 6.5. We will see about changing out this barrel down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 This one shoots 1 1/2 MOA and would do for hunting but is 20" long and a heavy barrel. Not what I want to tote around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted August 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Know where I could find a stainless heavy 16" that uses a rifle gas system? Everything I've seen uses a mid length system. Trying to keep everything kinda uniform, as far as gas and buffer systems go. I'm a long time target shooter, and appreciate heavy barrels! My shorter rifles are not chiefly for target, but still.

shooterrex Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 I sure don't. IIRC the Wilson I'm looking at is mid length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNP Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Fulton used to have one. Not sure if they still do. Criterion has a 16” rifle, but it’s not as heavy profile as it used to be. I love mine when I actually get to shoot the thing. I haven’t had her out in a while....but just like having ugly kids, I keep her picture with me everywhere I go.

Bear Posted August 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) DNP, that looks pretty sweet! What upper receiver is that on there? I was just browsing Brownells for barrels, and found a Wilson Combat 14 something" barrel. Special order, and uses an "intermediate" length tube, also not in stock, but kinda intriguing. This is in .308, twist is 1 in 11.25. On another subject. Stainless gas blocks. A lot of the adjustables are stainless, but not so much on the "fixed" blocks. I did see a couple titanium ones, at about $75 a pop. Are stainless ones prone to gas cutting, or something?

DNP Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 That was a JD machine matched upper/lower and I think that’s the 12” PRI hand guard on there. JD is no longer around. I found an article online a while back and I think he made some poor choices and got into a little trouble. Too bad - seemed like a nice guy and put out some decent product.

Bear Posted August 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Yeah, I was checking that one out. So far, I have enough money to check it out only! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted August 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Bored. Put my DPMS Gen 1 lower on the 6.5. Looks sweet. Might have to go shoot it in the next day or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
