Anybody know of a turn bolt AR upper receiver? Basically looking to use everything else AR (any lower, barrels, free float tubes, etc) except have a manual turn bolt instead of the gas operated bolt. I would be interest in both AR-15 and AR-10 sized uppers. Thanks Bakes |
Some of our Brit friends have modified uppers that go this route. They're modified to be a straight pull bolt action with a charging handle on the left hand side of the upper. ETA: Beaten by a minute. |
Here you go....Uses a Rem 700 short action. I have one and shoot it every year at Camp Perry during long range. TubeGun.net |

Sweet...It looks like it takes the tandard AR stock and pistol grip. Regarding barrels, does it take Remington 700 barrels or can I slap any ol AR barrel on there? Also, is it the remington 700 long or the remington short action? I want to build one up in Remington 260. Later Bakes |

The dream was to get a long range shooter with AR ergonomics and 3rd party items with a bolt action. That way I could spend a few hundred dollars and then re-use all the AR stuff I have lying around. I was hoping there was just an upper someone made that was turn bolt. Unfortunately, for the price of the Tubb 2000 we are in Accuracy International or Sako TRG + a scope range. The tube gun may need a little getting used to but the Tubb 2000t is pretty sweet. http://www.davidtubb.com/tcom_images/t2k_images/spectac_full_1500.jpg |
It won't use an AR barrel. It's a Rem 700 short action with any barrel threaded for a Rem action. Mine is a .308 with a 28" Krieger barrel. I was looking for a stock to build my long range rifle on a Rem action when I ran accros this. I love mine! |
