Hoss50 Report post Posted June 26, 2023 Who has built one? My 11 year old decided that he needs an AR in 6mm ARC so I made him a deal to build one. He has to fully assemble the rifle (he loves legos) from scratch and we are going to do the research and build together. He also has to pay up and put some of his own money into the build. This is the basic plan right now I think, but am just in the beginning stages. Aero Lower (already have it) Aero Upper (ordered a blemished up for $50) Probably and 18" barrel with Keymo muzzle brake on it so I can easily put on a suppressor once it gets out of ATF jail. Adjustable gas block. rest is TBD. Who makes a good reasonably priced barrel for an ARC that wouldn't be crazy heavy or a budget Killer? Thoughts? Thanks Harley 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4huntrs Report post Posted June 27, 2023 fun too shoot and mine is just under MOA with Hornady ELDX ammo. Used Aero parts and Ballistic Advantage barrel. I think it will make a 400 yd Whitetail gun also. On paper it does loose energy about there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northAZarcher Report post Posted June 27, 2023 Haven't built a 6 arc, but i want to at some point also. I have built 1 gas gun for a 224 Valkyrie for my coyote gun. I bought a Wilson Combat barrel for $300. It's not fluted like the one they make for the 6 arc so mine is a little heavier. But my 224 is one of the tightest shooting rifles I own. I also am not shooting factory ammo. I am reloading my rounds. Now if I can find some time to hunt some coyotes! Hard to see, but stacking them in the same hole in the black. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4huntrs Report post Posted June 27, 2023 I bet if I wasn’t being lazy and put a load together for mine it could shoot better. I just didn’t want to add any more dies to the herd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted June 30, 2023 The build has begun. I ordered a blemished Aero Stripped Upper (can't see any blemish) and it arrives today. Yesterday my son and I went to a local store that stocks some AR parts and he bought his dustcover and forward assist. He assembled the upper tonight with some help. My son has a javelina tag in October so hopefully he will be done by then. He is going to have to put in some sweat equity and earn some money to aquire more parts if he is going to make it. The cheap furniture will go away sometime, but since I donated my extra lower to him that's what he gets til he earns some $$$ to get nicer stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazymonkey Report post Posted June 30, 2023 Nice build project. I use Odin works barrels on some of my builds. Primary arms has them on sale $259 with the gas tube and adjustable gas block . Used a few on my wife's gun and one for my kid and they shoot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
