6mm BR Nora build questions

[bobcat93]

Hello all,
So I'm planning my next rifle build . I would like to build a 6mm BR repeater. I am either going to use an xlr chase system or the eleso R5. I really want to use the xlr because I can then use a kelbly action but worry about the difficultly with getting the 6BR to feed from Accuracy International magazines. I tend to like the polymer 223 AI mags. Will they work well with the 6BR or is it better to use the Accuracy International 308 mags?..
Seems like less messing around with the polymer mags. But will they work with berger bullets
Any input appreciated

I have 2 6 brs that are repeaters. And also have 2 buddies that each have one. All of these are built on Pierce short actions with a coned bolt. All work great with an AI 308 mag. Cut the front of the follower off and put a shim in the front of the mag and you ready to go. All of us shoot the 105 bergers with no problems. I have shot over 7500 rnds thru my 2 rifles. Any questions just ask. Send me your email and I can send you pics of mag. You want an AI mag others the spring gets in the way of cutting the follower off. I messed with a .223 mag a little and was never happy with it. I know others use them and love them. Maybe someone will chim in with the details of those. All I have to say is once I built 1 6br repeater I wanted another.

What is the census on muzzel breaks for the 6 mm br ? Is it something to consider or forget?

No problem guys. I love mine and once I had one a couple buddies had to have them also.
As far as a break? One buddy has one on about a 13lb rifle it takes some of the hop out of it is the best way to describe it. It is a skinny barrel for a walking varmint rifle and is a nice option. Mine are heavy barrel rifles. The best is a suppressor. That on the 6br is just pew pew pew. the rifle hardly even moves. Thread it for the break 5/8-24 and get a can down the road. The can I use is for a 308 and it works great.

What type suppressor are you using?

 

[Bert]

It is a pierce suppressor. Aluminum body so it isn't too heavy. I don't think he makes them any more? Not sure on that. If you get one look at the weight a few guys I know have gotten them from other companies and in the end they add so much to the end they don't like them. Mine only adds 7" to the length and it comes 4" I think back over the barrel. Chamber volume is everything with a can. Or at least my 2 cents. They reduce recoil more than a break and no muzzle blast not that there is much from a br. I use a 308 can that way I can run it on all my rifles.
