First time in history!

That sounds like it's going to be a very nice build. The whole debacle with the out of spec chambers is behind us. Hornady sent the barrel manufactures the wrong reamers, no fault of the vendors. But if they had measured the chambers before sending them out instead of just measuring a select few the problem would have been caught up front. I am in the process of building my third 6mm ARC right now, the remainder of the parts are scheduled to be here this coming Tuesday. Hopefully I will get it to the range the following weekend. This is going to be my practice rifle as the other one I have has a match grade barrel and shoots sub 1/2 MOA. Good luck with your build. I tried to do a Proof barrel when they released this platform, but they told me 8 to 12 weeks turn around which I interpenetrated to 12 to 20 weeks. Ended up with an Odin Works barrel. I have a 20" Faxon and am building an 18" Faxon right now.

Thanks man, I was assuming the chamber discrepancies would be sorted out by the time I got my barrel so was happy when it cycled smoothly. Have read your threads and hope mine shoots as well as yours

All I need to build a 6mmARC AR is a barrel & a scope. I'm building it off a 22 Nosler I built almost 3 years ago but never shot a round out of it. It has a CMMG lower, a Stag upper & I replaced the bolt with a Monster Grendel bolt. The carrier is the one that was in the 22 Nosler but don't remember who made it. It has a 15" MI handguard & a GI A1 rifle buffer, spring & stock.

I've ordered a 20" (+1) barrel from PF on 9/23. The PF site says 6 to 8 weeks delivery. Is that customary from PF or will the wait be longer? Haven't decided on a scope yet. Dang, there's so many good ones to choose from!

I want a 6mm ARC bolt gun too. Hoping Howa will offer one soon.

Yeah that should be an easy transition. I've never ordered from PF but have read great things on the Grendel forum about quality...you do have to wait, but apparently it's worth it.
