[ARCHIVED THREAD] - .338 Spectre Questions

Posted: 5/9/2008 12:40:52 PM EDT

I am really interested in this cartridge. I hope to build a 14ish" length barrel with a pinned Surefire brake for 16". I have a couple questions:
What length gas system do most of these guns use?
What barrel diameter at the gas block have people been using?
I was looking at using the low profile JP gas block so I can turn off the gas system if i wanted, any problems with that?

I was looking at using the low profile JP gas block so I can turn off the gas system if i wanted, any problems with that? Works just fine, check this thread as well
