6cm
18"
Tikka lite contour or lighter w muzzle flare to 5/8 thread
1:7.5
Stainless
No flutes for cost savings

Just spun on something nearly identical. I could be convinced to get another as a spare...

Maybe back in years yonder?

When was the last time you did this?

Because it says on there website it is not available because it is not strong enough.

I'll concede that it has been a year or two. At the time, they wanted to make sure you weren't doing anything stupid and it was a reasonable application. In my specific case, it was a 6.5 grendel. Regardless, it would be worth a phone call if someone needs one.

They have discontinued hub in the ultra series.

Good to know. I snagged a U5 hub last year.

6GT light contour, threaded, 20".

I have 4 that are CB I’m not and will not consider changing anything at this point

If I can’t screw a regular tbac mount on it and go shoot. It’s absolutely worthless to me.

Don't blame you. I have 2 that are cb and the 1 hub. I use a Ti hub to cb adapter for it at the moment so it's a non issue.

I had my junk aac converted and now I’m a cb ride or die.

My vote is the 6 creed 20" hybrid lite with 5/8x24 threads.

 

[NSI]

6mm ARC, 7 twist, 16.25” + 18" + 20" long, Lightest possible profile with flare to 5/8x24 threads, lapped, matte stainless

6mm Creedmoor, 7.5 twist, 16.25” + 18" + 20" long, Lightest possible profile with flare to 5/8x24 threads, lapped, matte stainless

6mm UM, 7.5 twist, 16.25” + 18" + 20" long, Lightest possible profile with flare to 5/8x24 threads, lapped, matte stainless

In all cases, if the flare is impossible, 1/2-28 threads are acceptable.

Add me to the list that would buy an 18" factory lite dupe with flared 5/8ths or 1/2 if it kept the weight down.

My vote is the 6 creed 20" hybrid lite with 5/8x24 threads.

This is my vote. A 20in 6cm can run 2900+ with heavies and not be at or near psi. An 18" "is gonna require another half grain powder or more to do so. This is from a guy who currently has 16.5, 18, 20, 22in 6cm barrels. I feel 20 is best balance, personally for my needs. Having an 18in option isn't a bad idea either.

I like this

 

[8nbait]

I would like 6MM GT and creedmoor in 20”or 22” tikka sporter or similar contour. I may be the only one that doesn’t want muzzle threads.

 

[Ikmclean]

6gt, 18" light hybrid 5/8x24, 1:7.5

 

[HighUintas]

Any benefit to a 1:7.5 or 1:7 twist?

Was thinking in that cartridge if you're shooting 108eldm you might be risking blow ups depending on velocity with a 7.5 twist

 

[hereinaz]

I've a hankering for a 20" 6 Dasher. Probably wont order one because i've got a couple 6 creedmoor barrels on deck already but that would be a nice offering.

20", 7 twist, Alpha Dasher reamer, Lite hybrid contour, 5/8" muzzle threads.

I may do that with FOMO pricing to cause an impulse buy…

I will be making a 6mm barrel order very soon.

 

[hereinaz]

6gt, 18" light hybrid 5/8x24, 1:7.5

This is definitely in the mix.

7 twist is faster than 7.5 twist.

Not an issue for those of us using HUB with cb, etc.

I'd take the 1/2-28 if it means a super light profile.

Seems this is the division between preference.

If weight is a priority then 1/2 and lighter contour. If weight is not as important, then 5/8. I say I have to agree.

Now, if I could get a custom profile ultralight and flared for 5/8, is that the sweet spot?
