6.5 Creedmoor

Has anyone here put a 6.5 Creedmoor upper on an AR lower ??
Have you had or heard of any issues in doing this??

 

Got anymore information?
PSA Gen2s work well with PSA's

 

Was wondering if there may be any issues on a S&W M&P lower .

 

I wouldn't expect any issues so long as you aren't using an aftermarket trigger group with a low mass hammer. The standard MIL SPEC type should work just fine along with ALG and Gieselle. Unfamiliar with other brands, but all of these have no issues with the heavier primers used in military ammunition.

 

I think we are talking 2 different platforms?
The 6.5 Creedmore is in the Ar10 platform
If your trying to put it on an Ar15 platform then I'm pretty sure it wont fit at all.
Are you thinking perhaps a 6.5 Grendel?

 

yep you sir are right

 

I would not put the Creedmoor on any Ar platform it is a pretty heavy cartridge for any AR

 

I may have been thinking of the grendel. I was reading some specs on the 2 , 300 blackout ,, etc,, etc,, just looking at wish list stuff on PSA ,, I haven’t done any builds or swapping stuff around and was just thinking of adding a few accessories for the heck of it.

 

Glad you cleared that up - I thought he was referring to the S&W M&P 10

 

A 6.5cm is pretty much a 308 necked down to 6.5mm with the pressure turned up to 60,000psi.
That's not exactly how it happened but gives you a general idea of what you're dealing with.

 

This is a pretty interesting read....Build an AR-15: AR Calibers - GunsAmerica Digest

 

The 6.5 G is a fun little cartridge and a real deer slayer. I built one for my uncle. I've not played with the 6.5 Creed as it just doesn't trip my trigger, but know plenty that have. If it was me, I'd build a bolt gun in that calibre if that's what I wanted.

 

I did look at the 6.5 , C and G ,, and , for some reason , in that caliber , I think I would rather have a bolt action , and looked at a few of those as well . But , I was just shopping around and thinking , haven't really added much to the stockpile lately , outside of my current supply of lead . And , If I was to aquire another caliber of rifle , then comes the ammo stockpiling issue . Although , If I had the time and money , that would be an enjoyable issue .

 

But what if you are morally opposed to bolt action and the lack of a detachable high cap mag.

 

Everyone has got to live amongst their morals ,,, Bolts do have their purpose tho ,,,

 

I have them both, and in my case, the main semi auto LR308 shoots sub .50 MOA all day. The primary bolt gun in 308 shoots sub .250 MOA all day.

As for the difference, the semi auto is more fun to shoot, but I do not have the same mental connection that I do with a bolt gun, maybe it is because I am using my hand to retract the bolt, pull the spent cartridge from the weapon and pushing a fresh cartridge into the weapon.

As for most bolt weapons not having a detachable box magazine, well that is one less item you do not have to worry about losing in the field.
