[Matthias86]

(Edit 8/10/23: I've decided to sell the AR10 as a complete gun. New listing posted)

I don't want to make this too confusing. Altogether I have an AR10( DPMS) complete upper with either an 18in Ballistic Advantage Premium Series Barrel OR an 18in Faxon Match Barrel, both in 6.5 Creedmoor. I can install either barrel in the upper OR I can sell either barrel separately. Each barrel comes with a gas block and appropriate length gas tube. Full details provided below. Shipping is $20 (L48).

Complete Upper with either barrel = $480

Barrel Only - (with gas block and gas tube) (Details below) = $150 each


Details:
-Complete Upper - AR10 M5E1 Aero Precision upper receiver with 15in Ballistic Advantage handguard. Aero Precision 308/6.5 Creedmoor BCG and ambi charging handle. Either BA or Faxon 18in 6.5 CM barrel

To give my personal experience between the 18in 6.5 Creedmoor Ballistic Advantage and Faxon barrels - Both are match barrels and shoot +/- MOA at 100 yards depending on the ammo. The big difference between the two 18in barrels is the weight. The Faxon(40oz) is 20oz lighter than the BA(60oz). If lightweight matters, go with the Faxon. If being light weight doesn't matter, the heavier BA barrel is going to slightly better to handle recoil overall, but...Recoil between the two is actually actually about the same. The Faxon barrel is lighter, but it does have a rifle length gas system, whereas the heavier BA has a mid length gas system. The rifle length gas system on an 18in barrel with 6.5cm does minimize recoil but sometimes shows signs of being under gassed (sometimes I don't get last round bolt hold open). The mid-length gas system is more reliable overall. If you show signs of being over gassed, like when suppressed, just increase the buffer weight. Both shoot a suppressor well. Due to the lighter weight, the Faxon barrel will have a larger change in impact shift. If you are going to shoot suppressed with the BA barrel, I recommend increasing your buffer weight. The Faxon should be able to shoot suppressed without any adjustments due to she shorter dwell time of the rifle length gas system.

Reminder: If buying a barrel separately, it comes with a gas block and appropriate length gas tube.

I technically could be open to a trade but I am so picky in what I am looking for that I don't want to waste anyone's time. I am looking for a decent target range spotting scope (quality $500+), high end LPVO, or a really good hunting scope. Feel free to message me.

I looked into selling firearms across state lines and it actually doesn't seem too difficult so I'm going to give it a try. I'm going to sell the AR10 as a complete gun. I'll make the post tomorrow. When I do, I will take this listing down. Until then all my deals above still stand.
