Up for sale is my 6mm ARC NULA Model 20 Short, one of the last built by Melvin Forbes before he sold to Bill Wilson. I took ownership in mid 2022. I had it for sale on here a year or so ago but got cold feet and pulled it. A $7K bill from the electrician on our new home is forcing me to sell this beautiful rifle.
This now has a 16-inch barrel, is threaded 1/2-28, and has the traditional NULA paint scheme. I'd guess that it has 70 rounds through it. Shoots great and weighs little. The Model 20 Short is the .223-length action, not the Model 20, which is a .308-length short action. It weighs right around 5 pounds.
This is not a perfect specimen. There's a paint flake on the bottom of the pistol grip from contact with a concrete bench during sight-in, and I drilled through the stock to add T-nuts for a short ARCA rail, which I then overtightened and caused minor cracks in the bottom. None of this effects function, but it does impact cosmetics. I've hunted with it exactly once for prairie dogs, and my dad used it to kill a coyote. There is also a Spartan Adaptor professionally epoxied into the forend for a Javelin bipod or tripod.
Asking $3,400 for rifle and steel Talley rings and bases. The Trijicon and Banish Backcountry suppressor stays with me. Holler if you'd like more photos or a FaceTime call to check it out in further details.
