I'm ready for this year. That Shaw barrel shoots.

I don’t know that my eyes can group better than this with the microprism. My Shaw shoots great with multiple loads.
1” 5 + shot groups with a rifle/barrel this light at 5x is crazy.

Has anyone found a superb trigger for their ULUL setup? My lightweight mil spec does the job but I’m always left wishing for a more premier feel. I have been eying the Jard AR set trigger as I think it’s an interesting concept for my BCA bolt action ULUL 223 AR. Interested to hear any thoughts on the matter. Thanks.

3.5 pound single stage CMC for mine. Great hunting trigger, and reasonable when on sale.

Pretty happy with the rise 140 rave. It seems lighter than my larue and is very crisp but i am lacking on experience here. Did not weigh either trigger group.

Anybody on this thread know if Shaw is going to do anymore portless barrels? I’m looking for a 223 Wylde.

These don't suck at all.

A friend just tried my ULUL and is all in. He ordered a Solo 300upper, and is debating 6x45 or 223.

My Shaw portless barrel is awesome, but not currently available.

What are the go-to options right now for 223 or 6x45 builds?

I was doing some research this morning and the only 6x45 AR barrels i could find were in the custom category. X cal has a drop down option for portless, and a spaghetti contour.

No extraction issues with 6x45 in the Solo 300, right? 6 arc would be awesome but I want "easy peasy lemon squeezy" like my 223 Wylde was.....

My 6 ARC operates with pinky finger tip pressure BUT not on a Solo upper. The solo is made tighter. I’m using a BCA side charge upper and cut the bolt carrier off.
My solo/shaw portless combo requires the most effort of 22 ARC, 6 ARC and 223 Wylde. I think it has to do more with the Solo tolerances that the cartridge.

The 6 ARC BCA decent? I'm pretty sure he wants the Solo300 like mine, but 6 ARC is awesome.

Does the cut carrier BCA function the same as the Solo?

My 6 ARC BCA 16” barrel and side charge upper shoot MOA or better easily with factory 108 ELDM. Shoots so good I haven’t bothered to load for it.
Shot it at a long range shooting class as a challenge for myself and to proof the rifle/scope. It hung right with a bunch of custom rifles

Cut bolt carrier is just like a solo. Follow Thegman recommendation and remove the gas rings from the bolt and the rubber piece from inside the spring on the extractor. Solo does those two things for you.

How heavy is your 6 ARC build?

I'm really tempted now.

To clarify, you have the side charger upper, not the bolt action upper????
