Is that barrel a PSA-FN CHF Cr lined barrel?

That'd be pretty awesome

Could be.  The Palmetto site refers to FN machine gun steel.  On sale for 189

Barell is marked :
6.8 SPC II  1/11  MP CHF CL Palmetto

Anxious to see how yours shoots...

1. Nice component choices.

2. Go shoot it.

3. Range report

4. Get a better camera, get the beast in some natural light and show it off properly.

I went to the range last weekend and had a good time.  The new rifle cycled perfectly without a hitch.  I sighted in with SSA PH commercial loads and shot some Hornady 110 otm's.  I hope to go hog hunting with this set up soon.

50yds using a 2moa T1.

5 shots of Hornady




3 shots with the ProHunters.

NICE pro-hunter grouping there!

What powder / load were you using?

It appears those are factory loads with the PH. It seems like a 6.8 either loves them or hates them with blno real in between. Most love them, and it looks like Ops does. When they shoot well they are really good. Great deer round. ,

Good shooting op.

What buffer are you using?

[#11]
Standard carbine.  The impulse is pretty sharp though.  I am considering trying heavier.

Be advised, my 14.7" PSA 6.8SPC mid-length CHF CL lighter-weight 1/11 4-groove, etc. (all same as yours except yours is 16") did *mostly* ok with an H2 buffer.  Short stroked *once* on the first round of a full mag (most resistance) of Remington ammo (lowest charged) once it got a little dirty.  It also would not reliably bump fire with this combination (stock is not against shoulder in this test, so carbine is allowed to move and absorb energy/recoil instead of all of it being channeled to the functional parts).  H buffer has been fine so far.  You might be able to get away with an H2 since you have a tad more dwell time due to longer barrel length, but if everything else is equal my bet is you'll not want to go higher than an H buffer for a good functional reliability margin.  Thanks for sharing your data points as well.

Very nice write-up on a nice build, exceptional paint job, and nice groups.

What chambers are they using on the PSA barrels?
