ULUL 223 Wylde and 6x45 portless barrel thread

[hereinaz]

Interesting. Shaw might have dropped a run of the portless .223 on sale at $189 right now. Get one if that's what you want to do. I might order one myself since it is in stock rather than waiting to build.

I would still be less through the group buy after shipping.

But, with this available, maybe I stick with 6x45 from Shaw and/or keep working to find less expensive alternatives.

Makes sense. On that note: how many of you are mostly interested in a lighter option than the Shaw? I have one, so I'm more interested in a 16oz option, and I'm wondering how many of you are in the same boat(223 only question)? Either way, the plugged BCA works, but a portless 16oz stainless sure would be nice!

Added a "back out of previous selection(s)" option to the poll. Good call Gmaster

If shaw offered a 15.5 or 16oz version, I would sell the current portless I have and buy the lighter one.

I'm still in for a 6x45. Would've preferred <$100, (I couldn't give a fig for stainless or 4140) but at under <$200 it's still worth it.

I'm still in for a stainless 16" 6x45.

I just bought one of the Shaw 223 wylde but I am still in for the 6x45

 

[hereinaz]

I just talked with Shaw. They didn't expect to sell out so soon. They will have the 16" portless as a standard offering going forward. So, buy that barrel now if you want it while it is on sale. No need for me to do the group buy.

Full steam ahead on the 6 x 45 barrel from Shaw. I got the ball rolling with the official request. Updates to come.

I am still working on a source for the less expensive nitride option and the 12" portless barrels in .223 and 6x45.

Sounds good. Didn't you say BCA is working on a portless one?

 

[PistolPete]

Can't wait for the 6x45!

Other question: what is the consensus on whether the BCA bolt action is suitable for bolt gun level ARC loads?

They specifically told me weren't working on one at SHOT.
