Looking for a bolt or AR in 6.5, .223, .243, 22-250 that I can use exclusively for hogs and coyotes.

I already have an AR in .223 and .300BO but they both have a shorter barrel so I worry about accuracy.

I recently took my .243 to have it threaded but was told me barrel was too thin.

Hopefully one of you guys have something you let go?

I don't need a scope. Bare gun unless you are selling with a thermal already in it.

Short barrels aren't inherently less accurate than long barrels. There is velocity loss. You may be good to go with your current set ups. Of course, a new firearm is nice .....

I posted this 6.5 Grendel upper awhile ago but it looks like it's expired now. No BCG or charging handle included but you could put it on the lower of your 223 and save some money.

Build list is:

Lothar Walter 18" barrel

JP industries adjustable gas block

Red X arms complete A3 upper

Rifle length free float hand guard

Troy hand grips

$500, located in Germantown.

Check out the last line under "Muzzle brakes and muzzle threading"

I had him do a ss ruger sporter weight 358 win last summer and it turned out awesome.

I took it a guy that has threaded all my other guns but he was saying there wasnt enough barrel there for the threads

He's correct but there is a way to do it, it is just not the standard way.

I'm going to list a pretty rare 22-250 soon, but it's not threaded.

Shorter barrels are not less accurate. They have a shorter sight radius which can impact sight alignment. If you're using an optic that goes out the window.


I'm not trying to talk you out of a new rifle but the short barrel won't hurt accuracy.

Coyote tan bull barrel thrived less a box shot

I would just buy another gun. I had a Browning that one gunsmith said he couldn't thread. A different one assured me it would be no problem with a thread adapter. Its been a disaster and barrel is unusable.

I guess it all depends on the competency of the gunsmith. It's not a complex solution but it does take a capable smith.

Had them cut down my Tikka 6.5 creedmoor to 21" so they could have enough meat to thread but I like the barrel that length so it wasn't an issue.

Yeah they did the same on my 300 win mag.

Those guys are good at what they do.

How thin was it for them not to thread it. They done 2 for me but went to a smaller size and I had to get adapters but it wasn't a big deal for me.

 

[Grandslam11]

Not sure. He had a tool they used to measure and said they wouldn't do it because it was to small.

What mine looks like that I mentioned above. Kampfeld is a badass smith.
