MidwestPX 172 Posted March 7, 2015 Ty, How much would this build cost if you were to sell one identical sans optic and light? Please PM me so I remember to run an estimate for you on Monday when I get in to the shop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MidwestPX 172 Posted March 15, 2015 Ty is that an LMT barrel, or did you have one made to fit? I am thinking of a 6.5x47 semi. It's the factory LMT barrel. Current production ones are eight twist rather than the nine twist that they originally produced. Ty, I have been thinking about 6.5 Creedmore for my next build. Will that barrel work directly with a .308 upper?Negative. The barrel extension is proprietary and only works with LMT's patented MRP quick change system.

OfcrFek 21 Posted March 21, 2015 Just got a portion of my latest build back from Backwoods. Just needs a barrel, hand guards, and BCG/CH. So far it's looking.... interesting... Gonna have MOE OD hand guards, and I may get the A2 front sight/gas block done in FDE. When this rifle is done, it's either gonna look awesome... or really stupid. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Ty, I did not necessarily mean the LMT barrel but will a 6.5 Creedmore barrel work with an AR.308 or AR10 upper? Sorry I should have been more clear in my question.

Sorry I should have been more clear in my question. Oh yeah, you bet. 6.5C uses a large frame AR receiver and the same bolt face as .308. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Displaced Texan 11,757 Posted March 22, 2015 I'm out at the ranch in Texas this week. Was hoping to get some shots of the Colt 6944 in action, but it's been raining non stop since we got here.

I really like the one-piece gas block/flip up front sight on those colts. Did your colt come with a free float rail? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Displaced Texan 11,757 Posted March 22, 2015 Colt's 694x series of rifles has a monolithic upper receiver, which free floats the barrel. The rail is one continuous piece, making an excellent optics optics platform. Extremely rigid. They are very accurate rifles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you can't safely maneuver, then you made the right choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eric It started off as just a paper punching bench gun, but now I am leaning towards throwing a 1-6x on there and going a 3 gun type route. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shawnmoore81 623 Posted April 12, 2015 My latest projects from that pic came from finishing my wife's gun. I had hers almost done. It was just missing a barrel. I got ahold of a m&p-15 sport upper receiver and was using that but decided that would be better in the future for a pistol. The lack of forward assist and dust cover cuts down on weight. So I gave her the m&p-15orc upper I had on my Orc. I then ordered myself a new m&p-15 upper. I wanted to keep iron sights for mine anyway.
