baldie Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Another Deviant from this weeks offerings.... Built for a very good customer from the lakes. He had a 6xc from me a while ago built on a CZ and just loves the calibre. The last one was a real hammer, and this should be too. This is a Defiance Deviant action, magazine cut for the AICS and AW mags. this one runs AW. The barrel is a Sassen 1 in 8" twist, helically fluted, and finished at 20". Muzzle thread is 18mm x 1 and invisible capped. Barrel and floor plate done in Ceracoat OD green. 11 degree target crown. The stock is a PSE supplied by the customer. Once i'd altered the floor plate to allow it to feed, the stock was then stripped, and a base of Duracoat OD green applied. Added to that in " Baldiecam " pattern, was Coyote tan, Magpul FDE, Tactical flat black, and woodland green. Over that went 6 coats of matt lacquer. The trigger is a Timney calvin elite. The rifle feeds so smooth;ly from the AW mag, you have to listen for the rounds going in....because you can't feel them on the bolt. Plenty of room in the mag for any 6mm bullet made too.

Big Al Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Nice looking actions Dave, is there enough room in them for Cerakote if required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 They are tight Al. Some of the yanks have painted them however. It will need a raceway bush machining to work for blasting and paint. Not the way I like to do it, and it would be an expensive mistake if it didn't work out. The actions have such a beautiful finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCetrizine Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I quite like the fluting, it makes it look like a giant drill bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Very marmite, spiralling Mark. I reckon 50% I show it to, don't like it. Personally, I do, and it does reduce weight somewhat. The AR10 is deceptively light, weighs no more than a heavy-ish AR15. That has to be the barrel, because the receivers aren't light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berserk Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 That looks stunning. I love the Deviant Action, and the spiral fluting really does finish it off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
