Troy SAR - Straight Pull AR 

I did the same, got me an 18" BC barrel and a side charging handle upper, blocked the gas port permanently and left the rest of the rifle standard, with only an easy extract special bolt that has diagonal cuts on the front, which made the extraction so much easier. Shoots like a Swiss clock and extremely accurate. Cost was less than half the price of Troy SAR. I made a full wood stock non collapsing/folding for it and it looks like a classic retro rifle.

And now Canada!

Thanks man

only like 3k-4k :( Have ya seen the southern cross small arms taipan light, looks pretty good, is less then 2k and is straight pump

@@notmkr-busta2937 yeah mate looks pretty good! I've been looking into it but I want to wait for the first batch or even a video review although for that price it really isn't too bad and it comes with a scope aswell thanks again👍

I have been working on a 77gr TMK load and I am getting right around 2500fps in this 16" barrel. The data says 2500fps for a 20" gas ported barrel with the same charge. So It may have something to do with it.

Typically a fast twist does better with heavy for caliber bullets. At least on paper that is supposed to be the case. Maybe I'll load up some 53gr Noslers and just see what they do. Can't hurt I suppose. The 60gr and 77gr Sierra TMKs are showing some pretty good potential from what I've been testing off camera so far. I was actually surprised at how well the Frontier 55gr Match shot. Unfortunately I don't have more of those to confirm that though. And the availability of 223/5.56 is pretty dismal right now

@@ChuckinTV I think it’s more accurate to say a heavy bullet typically does better with a fast twist bullet. :-) I tried some heavies in that gun and was less than impressed. Those 40gr Fiocci loads and 52gr Sierra hpbt on the other hand were really impressive!

@@bepropheta6665 but typically fast twist barrels are for heavier bullets that’s just a known fact.

@@Jdsnipe112 That doesn’t mean they won’t shoot light bullets though. I just wish somebody would build a 22-250 with a faster twist barrel, like a 1-9...

me too

Troy makes these with a buffer tube if you don't want the folding stock. They also make a very similar version of this one but it's pump action. Pretty much everything is takes AR parts except for the actual upper and lower themselves. I may be looking to convert this to a 6.5 Grendel which would require a barrel and bolt face change. I'm not 100% sure if that is possible yet. I plan on emailing Troy about it to see what they say.

Maybe when I get a chance. It is kind of tedious.

Not looking forward to taking mine apart lol.

@@ChuckinTVcan I use any rod to inserts and press or they have a specific one?

I do have a Timney in it. And I would like to change the barrel because this one still doesn't shoot very well.

Should be.

They are at our local gun stores

I wanted this haha. I get what you mean. This has the benefit of being compliant and also having a folding stock. But obviously if you wanted a semi, this isn’t it. This is just a nice stowaway rifle for varmint hunting in my opinion. Maybe a good option for a bugout or survival pack

So in my opinion this like or the equivalent to a bolt action I like it need one in a 300 win
