ADC piston 308

Thought I would sneak over here and post a couple pictures of something I’ve been working on. Just got it running, been shooting it all weekend and had a blast…AD

Something else I’ve been working on with a friend is the 6.5S, its a 6.5 144grn fmj that runs like nothing else I have tried in the M4 platform, it hits HARD!!

Oooh…more .308 info please!

You have my attention! :smiley:

You ain’t kiddin’! One of the first public events, if not THE first, where the 6.5 Grendel made its debut was at the Blackwater shoot in May 2004.

A 6.5 Grendel firing a Lapua 144gr FMJBT beat 7.62x51 in the “armored glass” challenge, penetrating 1.575" of the latest armored glass.

Interesting.

Thanks

Very nice ! What are the major components used ? The lower looks like a billet type ?

you’re not going to be a tease, are you?

I’d like my 308 in 22" medcon, please.

Naa I’m not a tease

The lower is one of CMMGs with a DPMS AP4 buffer/spring, the upper is DPMS also, as well as the bolt and carrier that’s been heavily modified!! Daniel Defense 9.0 handguard, the barrel is one I had in my shop I had been kicking around for a couple years, it came off a customers Armalite, I did a little magic to the chamber and it really shoots great!!! I can’t quit shootin it :smiley:

excellent.

very nice. I’m liking the way the 7.62 AR platforms are taking off lately.

Put more rounds through the ADC 308 today, I am really liking this thing, looks like it might work out very well, more testing and rounds down range needed though.
Here is a picture of 5 shots on my 150 yard plate, not too bad for a red dot using surplus ammo! Planning some better glass, a trigger job and some match ammo!!
I need to take the barrel off, thread and park it, just been having too much fun to mess with it right now. I was thinking of cutting it back from 20" to 18", what do yall think… ???

18" would be nice with a rifle length gas system. Or a 16" midlength.

Yea I think the 20" looks a little weird with the middy handguards, but it dosent shoot weird at all :slight_smile:

Had a little time ( took a break ) from building my 556 uppers and finished the 308 piston.

I cut the barrel back to 18" threaded it and put a nice crown on the muzzle, then parked the barrel/block/carrier and piston parts. I really like the way it came out!!

Looks like my crown is good:D Thats a 10 shot on my steel at 100 yards, still need to upgrade to better glass and work on the trigger…

So, the question is…when and how much $$$?!

Got to put more rounds through it to make sure it works as well as my 556 piston uppers, I am looking at working up some prices for some complete uppers as well as maybe doing some retro fits on customers uppers, its more involved than meets the eye, I will post some detailed pictures in the next couple days.
What barrel configurations would you interested in ?? Anyone else with some input…Thanks

A 5R 1:10 in 18" would be the mutz nutz.

I been wanting an 18"!

ADC??? I must have missed this one. How do I find out about 5.56 uppers and the 308 looks awsome I would be down for a 16".

call me the odd guy, but I’m planning on a 22-24"
