SR-25 EM Carbine History

You’ll notice I have my CQBSS in our (KAC) 34mm Mount…

I’m a huge fan of the CQBSS - to a point I sold the last of my Short Dots.

I mean where else do you get a holographic non position sensitive dot, and a magnified scope all in one.

Dude - really? An ASP plate on a SR-25?
I like the stock choice though.

Kevin, that stock Leupold mount is just full retard. Chris kept saying he wished he would have brought the Knights mount.

It’s awesome, and it’s funny how even putting that on for 24 hours basically DOUBLED the cost of the SR-25.

Re: ASAP…Dude, really! I tried running a 2-point and it felt just complete short bus stupid for how I run the rifle (literally running and gunning).

It actually works really well. Don’t disown me! :smiley:

I really like LAV/BFG’s Padded VCAS for the EMC.

I run the sling off the right of the ACS QD point, and the left on the URX, you can still transition, and its clear for reloads, stoppages etc.

Out of curiosity due to a post I saw elsewhere by Titleist, what is the barrel life of an SR-25 EM?

Long…

The bolt may go out of headspace prior to the barrel being shot out.

Diemaco/Colt Canada has 5.56mm Chrome Lined CHF barrels that have lasted 20,000 rds and still retained sub 1.5" performance.

I would beleive that the Match CM barrels (Obermeyer or Kreiger at this point) that are much smoother than CHF barrels, and then chromed - would last that long given the lower velocity of the .308/7.62mm NATO loadings.

I’ve seen SR-25’s still be within headspace at over 15,000 rounds, but I would be very catiously gauging it at that point, as I have seen very heavily abused ones be very close at 7,500 rds.

Is that due to cleaning cycles or pressure of the ammo used? Or both?

Hot heavy firing schedule and ammo pressure.

Damn so you’re saying bump firing MAY be bad for my barrel? :eek:

haha. kidding!

Stripped down 2 x KAC SR25 EMC’s today and they had 2 different Bolt Carriers. I’ve attached pics for clarification.

Why the difference? Does one have the wrong carrier?

Titleist?? KevinB??


For general purposes, why not just replace the bolt at 10,000 rounds, gauge the headspace, and drive on?

Interesting. The bottom one looks like it has FAL-style sand cuts.

Interesting, well now my EMC feels old and out of date.

Time to gunbroker this turd and buy a REPR. :eek:

Yep, look like sand cuts for gunk and grime to get driven down into lower where it can pool or fall out…

Probably to lighten the rifle.

One of the things, of many, we noted on the Battle Rifle PIP that hatched the SR-25 EMC, was that the bolt being cut that way, both retained more lubricant, and also was encumbered less by fouling and debris.

We made a decision not to put these intially in the Commercial guns. A lot of the imptovements for the government gun, where not going to be noticed as much in a civilian gun, we figured that we would introduce those at a later time, when we had an easier method of production.

My personal SR-25 EMC does not have the cuts, I would have liked them, but I don’t feel like I am screwed without them in a civilian setting.

WTT: 1 SR-25 EMC for DPMS 7.62 rifle! :stuck_out_tongue:

Hah, nah seriously, interesting improvements though.

It’s okay I’ll trade not having the cuts for seeing the super tap be released…hint hint wink wink…nudge nudge (Kevin your bribe check is in the mail)

I must admit that being a civilian and hearing that my gun is being built to a diff. spec might offend me as a potential buyer of the emc…I dont think its like that or anything, but the way it was phrased sounded a bit like that to me at least:)

Gotta love KAC!

Sigh I give up.

I still like my EMC, Kevin! :cool:
