Red flag on the info…the ARC does not produce the delivered energy of the 308. A 107gr grendel has been available for over ten years, the Dod never had to wait for such performance. In addition, because your Ammoland, you should know that the 6mm dasher fits into the AR, the difference being that the ARC is a modified 300m case and the Dasher is a modified 308 case designed for 600m performance. Also, the ARC has not,, nor has Hornady claimed that it out performs an entire field of 6mm offerings already available for the AR. The ARC has no future in the military or competition shooting.
Is it only able to be built with a gas system or can it be modified to a gas piston system like the .556/223?
every 6 mm arc rifle I saw on youtube had a muzzle break. how is the recoil with out the break compared to the 223 ?
I also never see a short barreled 6 mm arc
I have the bolt action version from Uintah Precision, 1000+ easy!
20+ week backorder
Good attempt at the video but do wish you went a bit more specific and we saw more than the same few shots rolled together. =) As far as magazines, YES, there are quite a few… Elander, CProducts, both offer 26 round mags. I believe someone else just did 28 rounders? And plenty of 10 and 20 round options availble. "Dedicated 6mm ARC magazines" ? Um… no. As the important part of the case is exactly the same as 6.5 Grendel, the mags are interchangeable. 6mm ARC = 6.5 Grendel Necked down to 6mm and shoulders bumped back a tad. Everything else is the same and why the mags work. the best mags right now are CProducts Duramags. 20 rounders are flawless and I hear the 26 are just fine as well. Amend2 makes 10 round polymer mags, first runs had issues, and some mags may have teething issues at first, but they wear in just fine and are REALLY nice. I covered all of this in my 6mm ARC series. https://youtu.be/LBKW8ew0GrI Part 1.
SSA is a good carbine trigger, but not what I'd want for a precision rifle.
No only long range paper puncher, but it could be used on medium size game like deer (doesn't mean hunting at long ranges).
What magazines do you use for the 6mm ARC? Are there reliable 30 round or close to 30 round magazines available?
I am waiting for my 6mm ARC build components to get to my local gun shop so I can go pew at the 1000 yard range on Molokai (once the brouhaha set tiles down over the couf).
