bradders Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 First thing this morning was to knock up this 16" M4 Navy profile barrel for an ongoing build Then it was off to Parcelforce to collect a Samson Star 10 13.2" rail and barrel nut for an AR10 build that has been progressing for some time. Background: I took the AR10 in on a trade for a .300 Whisper for another dealer. Bubba has visited this poor rifle on previous occasions and the upper receiver had been messed about with to the point it is unusable. An abomination of a side charging slot cut into it and the rear charging handle removed and a small block of aluminium fitted into the hole and secured by way of a 8mm countersunk screw through the top of the receiver! Anyway moving on: The PRS was replaced with a A2, the trigger is a Jewell and still needs a tune. Some time back I sold Baldie an upper receiver but he never used it, so I bought it back, machined it and fitted one of the world famous Bradley Arms sidechargng handles to the carrier. Sassen supplied a 1:11 blank and it was cut to 20" and chambered with a brand new .308 CiP spec PTG reamer and finished off with a Doofer® in 5/8x24 The hand guard arrived today, but the nut supplied was for a DPMS .308, not good as the DPMS nut is 16TPI and the Armalite needs a 18TPI nut. Having a length of EN24 I set about making one and here's the result Just waiting on the rear charging handle and the nut will be blasted and Cerakoted along with the other jobs later this week Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbal Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 What sort of distance is a nicely made AR10 good for hitting 10" steel plates?[/quote Precision (rifle and cartridge) dependent and accuracy (shooter/conditions) dependent.....and hit % of course,but 1moa should not be unrealistic.....so....

SWShooter Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 My £5 digital kitchen scale of truth says 4.695kg or in real money 10.350lbs Very nice , guess the barrel adds an extra pound or so over what they usually are ? , if you have time any chance of some pics of the bolt next to an AR15 bolt ?
