How do these work? Is the barrel nut and barrel extension  a special deal or will any AR barrel work?  A special tool needed to remove the nut?  Does the handguard just unbolt from the flanged upper?

I am wanting to buy a 5.56 PredatAR pull the barrel and bolt and swap out 6.5 G components.

Oh come on, some one knows!  I want a 6.5 G -PredatAR I guess I will have to do it the hard way and do a barrel swap.  Would like to know how problematic its going to be.

Maybe they'll introduce the 6.5G PredatAR at SHOT.

Not holding my breath, my luck it would be something lame like 300 BLCK if they add a caliber.

Im guessing the reason youre getting no responses is that the PredatAR is new and not many people have taken them apart.  I only know of a few on here who have to have it painted, but my guess is the rest havent.

Here is a picture from Titleist1's PredarAR 5.56 build.

welll barrel nut looks easy enough to take off, still need to know about the barrel extension.  I am guessing it is the same.

When I rebarreled my 308 to 260 I used a regular DPMS barrel extension.
