22 ARC barrels

Heard the 22 arc really needs a +1 gas system so be aware. Took quite a bit to get my 6mm arc barrel tuned right from them
 
Who is currently making ar15 barrels off the shelf other than Satern and proof? Id like to try the cartridge out but dont wanna wait 6mo for a custom barrel.
 
Id have pulled the trigger on a satern already but like you mentioned and everything ive read a +1 gas is important. Would an adjustable gas block negate the need for a +1? Any experience with the shaw barrels?

I have a 6mm arc rifle gas with adj gas block. Was a pain to get right, was told 22 arc is worse with rifle length gas
 
Was looking at a barrel on Craddock Precision. The +2 gas is the only option on bbl's longer than 20" . +1 on 18" and 20", and rifle length on 16". Think I will follow his suggested configuration for a barrel gas system...rsbhunter

Is there a reason all the 22ARC offerings have 5/8 threaded muzzles? Seems like .22cal is usually 1/2"...

This is a cartridge geared toward precision shooting. Most people will be using a longer barrel with a heavier profile (larger diameter). It makes sense to use the larger diameter threading, which is less likely to adversely impact the accuracy of the barrel by unnecessarily thinning its diameter at the crown. The same deal with the 6ARC.

This cartridge is not even on the shelfs. Currently, there is no ammo to be found on any store shelf for the 6ARC ... the 22ARC is 2nd in line. There will be limited offering for components, which is normal as evidenced by all new cartridge roll-outs over past 10 years. As the cartridge becomes more popular and more available (chicken-egg.. which came first) then I'm sure that you will be able to find 1/2"x28tpi barrels in every flavor. Based on roll-out of other cartridges, this usually takes 6-12 months before full ramp up by major manufacturers and specialty providers. These things take time for industry to scale up.

Scheels (online) has 22 ARC ammo available right now in 75 & 88 grain.

*My experience with new Hornady rounds is buy the ammo ASAP. It comes out well before the guns are available. Once the guns are out/available, the ammo isn't. And when it's available again, the price is always higher.

6mm ARC Ammo is VERY available online. Probably not going to find it on store shelves very many places but online is easy peasy. Scheels, Mile High, Powder Valley, Optics Planet, just to name a few recognizable name's.
