I have a 6 ARC side pull. Just cut the BCA bolt down tonight and dropped 4 oz like another member a few pages back.

I think the ARC is having trouble in Solo 300 uppers because they are a lot tighter and rougher to cycle. I can push the bear creek side charge bolt with my pinky to full lock up. Extraction is no issue but I did pull the gas rings and extractor spring rubber piece.

I also was able to run 22 ARC as a side pull. Going to sell that barrel and balance of 100 rounds I bought because I thought I could gain 150 yards terminal range over the 6 ARC but turns out not enough velocity so nearly identical range.

My solo 300 with Shaw portless is much tougher to cycle than either ARC. Extraction I don’t notice a difference other than the rougher cycling on 223.
