I went a different direction with mine with regards to the optic. NF 4-32 NX8. Super forgiving eye box and because of the increased magnification which I typically don’t run all the way up to 32, the glass is insanely clear. Cool vid, not a lot out on this rifle right now, glad to see someone is putting it through its paces.
Well it's kind just a hare out of my price range however something I gotta say is I usually built out my gas guns with FN barrels but being able to see so many folks shooting the Geissele chrome lined barrels and seeing 556 chrome lined barrels shooting sub moa or near sub moa really has changed what barrels I use to setup a rig accuracy plus durability plus longevity kinda a no brainer when spending 350 for a barrel my first 6 arc was a Ballistic Advantage 20 inch stainless tac driver but if I could have been able to pick up a setup like that at the time I would have been all over that great video look forward to some update videos!!!!
Thanks for the review of your 6ARC rifle. Could you provide more info on the rounds you used, group size, shots per group, average velocity, SD and ES? Also it would have been helpful to see a bore scope photo/video of the chamber and barrel. I think the 6ARC has a lot of potential for use with shorter barrels and I would like to see your review of the 14.5 GFR.
Got my first ar and its an 6arc thanks to binging the podcast and this channel. I went with an full aero precision 18 in that has a prs lite stock for a hell of a deal at $675. Down the road I'd love to see you compare the Geissele to budget uppers like a CMMG thats only 500 on sale right now and/or Aeros to help the masses understand the value proposition. I'm coming from a pure hunting specific interest (western deer/antelope backpack), not needing a battle rifle, or prs rig , nor planning in dumping thousands of rounds at 1.50 to 2.00 each bc Im not Taylor Swift, so I would be interested in seeing what you would recommend for different use cases after testing a variety of offering. Ps cant wait for my dust cover and the last box of hornady black ally had to arrive tomorrow ha
I would have never spent the money on one of these...but I bought a Geissele Super Duty on sale. I love the thing!! It shoots better than me, is more reliable than me, is better looking than me etc...! I want this 6arc!
shot my buddies 16” this weekend and was giving him shit that my arc shot better. didn’t realize it was chrome lined, changes everything this thing shoots!
Great breakdown video. I love when manufacturers are willing to try out some new ideas and fresh technology - the phased array gas system seems like an intriguing concept. Looking forward to hearing more of your experience with it!
Keep up the great content!! I’m assembling a 6 ARC because of your channel 👍. Only down side is it’ll be 5 more months before I get to send rounds down range with it… why does it suck to be an adult and have responsibilities!
Been very interested in this rifle. Waiting and looking for more data on barrel life and bolt life. I hear Barrel life is comparable to 308 but I'm still seeing people breaking bolts on other 6 arc platforms due to a 556 bolt basically being hogged out to accommodate the 6 Arc. I'm torn between getting the Daniel Defense in 6.5 Cm or the geissele Gfr. Bare rifle there's about a pound difference in overall weight between the two. Just trying to figure out if I'd be trading weight for reliability.
Im shooting a 75 grain open tip norma bullet at 3050 fps and getting .26 inch Groups over and over. 18 in stainless oden works/areo precision build. Its awesome! the coyote's disagree. lol

Geissele seemed to leave no stone unturned building these. The attention to detail in the machine, not just cosmetics is badass!
I agree.
I would like to build a 6mm Arc-your channel gave me the fever! Thanks for the knowledge!

I love these Nerd videos! my favorite types.
Yeah, nerd video, worked for Bill for few years. Generic info here

Hopefully this one doesn’t get removed!
Like picking the cross over the fix. Bless your heart. ❤️
😂
Great insight from the patron saint of 6mm ARC.
💯
Just got my geissele 18” last week from Ally Outdoors. Running the mark 5HD 3.6x18 on mine
Awesome
Beautiful piece of work

💯 we have more now.

I wanted velocities with the bolt gun ammo 😂 awesome episode tho wade!

Agreed .
So stupid question? What is the small ring to put in the top circle of the hand guard in order to make to qd sling attachment work?
Awesome vid Wade. This is a dream rifle for me.
Later down the road... Probably a 16"... Savin' up
Really enjoyed this content!
Thanks a Milliradian!
Appreciate it.
It’s definitely one of the best looking rifles
I love this rifle. I’m going to buy an 18” GFR and a URG-I later this year.
Keep up the great content!! I’m assembling a 6 ARC because of your channel 👍. Only down side is it’ll be 5 more months before I get to send rounds down range with it… why does it suck to be an adult and have responsibilities!
Agreed !
Awesome little Gas Gun! 🤘🏻
Agreed
May look into that, curious to see how it holds up over time
Heavy AF
A video on a detailed comparison likes and dislikes from your other 6 arc ARs. Differences in the parts and likes and dislikes and then performance
Building same gun but went with Steiner t6i 3-18 mm cause it's a massive eye box. Was a hard choice cause I love the look of the NF
Was looking at building an 18in 6ARC but if the cost build would be roughly the same as the Geissele would that be the better option?
It depends . If the Geissele has the furniture you like . Probably just go that route, if the price isn’t inflated.

How did the groups look with the higher pressure rounds? Definitely a good looking rifle.
Fantastic
I still think they should have put the mk18 handguard on this. I think precision rifles deserve arca rails.
Agreed
Really weird that they didn’t
@@davemichael4808 they put in on the stratomatch model it looks like.
On your AR-15's, are your barrels custom chambered?
I have 1 that is considered a “custom chamber’
Check out the RRS Soar Rail. It would go well with that and it is the most comfortable Arca Rail that I’ve used.
Will do , thanks .
Mk12 was an 18” gun. Maybe they were mirroring that
Any videos coming out for a factory 6 arc bolt gun?
Yes , I don’t know the time line yet.
Check annex defense they make a fde 11.25 arca tail with RRS r lock provisions and it’s a super light rail.
Have some , big fan of Annex. Need a very specific length . Cant recall off top of my head.
Im shooting a 75 grain open tip norma bullet at 3050 fps and getting .26 inch Groups over and over. 18 in stainless oden works/areo precision build. Its awesome! the coyote's disagree. lol
Which scope do you wish was on it ?
Hell , I don’t know lol it’ll probably keep that one. Lol
Not a fan of the NX8s. Horrible eye box, terrible glass on the lowest magnification, and they're chunky. Other than that they're good lol
😂
Wade sheering bolt lugs so we don't have to. For science.
I’ve yet to shear any, but definitely willing to for science.
❤️🔥🇺🇸😎
MCX Spear update?
Filming this week .
Great, now I want a 14.5 recce and 20 inch stratomatch smh.
😂 hey, I hear ya.
S&W have a 6mm also
Have the 16” , have been pleased with it. We’ve actually covered it a few times, and I think we have a check in vid coming at some point.
Bolt action review!
6 arc is a joke
Why?
?
