Nice. I always wanted a bolt action upper for an AR15. No gas system, just a charging handle on the side. Good video Chuckin'

That looks like a pretty fun little gun. Depends on how much something that costs. I could see it be being both fun and useful. Great video Chuckin

I wondered what the Troy rifles are like,..Thanks for this.

When I built my 300HAMR AR I used a Bear Creek side charge upper. It became obvious that I didn't really need it to be semiauto so I blocked the gas port and use it as straight pull. Without the wasted gas I get higher MV and smaller SD's. I shoot left so my gun hand stays on the grip and it's a quick move to slap the bolt back and let the reduced power buffer spring push it back into battery. It was also much cheap to build than buying the Troy. The round that *really* needs this is .22wrm.

I did the same, got me an 18" BC barrel and a side charging handle upper, blocked the gas port permanently and left the rest of the rifle standard, with only an easy extract special bolt that has diagonal cuts on the front, which made the extraction so much easier. Shoots like a Swiss clock and extremely accurate. Cost was less than half the price of Troy SAR. I made a full wood stock non collapsing/folding for it and it looks like a classic retro rifle.

I really dig the scope cam you installed. Very cool channel!

And now Canada!

Straight pull rifles are common in the EU. Browning has a full line of straight pull rifles for the European market. You need to watch a driven boar hunt in an Eastern European country. Those men are experts at shooting game that's on a full run. The straight pull helps them quickly reload. Ha! We use bait and hunt from a ground or elevated blind while resting the rifle on the window.

Shot a 300 whisper some yrs back set up basically same fashion. Had threaded Allen bolts so it couldn't be broken down theoretically in the field. PA

Glad to see you back. Got to wonder if there would be a velocity increase with out the gas system??? As minor as it would be.

I have been working on a 77gr TMK load and I am getting right around 2500fps in this 16" barrel. The data says 2500fps for a 20" gas ported barrel with the same charge. So It may have something to do with it.

Here in Aus, that is the best we can get, straight pulls and pumps. That said, they need to be made here. Look up Warwick Firearms and Oceania Precision. Two fine Aussie companies doing their bit:D

Here in Australia we have something similar its called the wfa1 and you can put a pump kit mounted to the rails. Petty cool rifle just bit pricy. Nice video mate! love the folding stock 👍

Looks awesome! I’d rather have one like this just so I don’t have hunt brass every time I shoot.

I have been looking for something similar with the bans coming. I figure something like this that will hopefully that is as modular as a regular AR15

Troy makes these with a buffer tube if you don't want the folding stock. They also make a very similar version of this one but it's pump action. Pretty much everything is takes AR parts except for the actual upper and lower themselves. I may be looking to convert this to a 6.5 Grendel which would require a barrel and bolt face change. I'm not 100% sure if that is possible yet. I plan on emailing Troy about it to see what they say.

I want to check out the new savage straight pull back rifles

I’m surprised the fast twist barrel doesn’t like light bullets. I have a heavy barreled Stag in 223 with a 1-7 twist a so far it’s shot best with 50 and 52 gr bullets. Actually, it shot really well with Fiocci 40gr vmax factory loads. So well that I bought a box of them for it and I never buy factory rounds...

Typically a fast twist does better with heavy for caliber bullets. At least on paper that is supposed to be the case. Maybe I'll load up some 53gr Noslers and just see what they do. Can't hurt I suppose. The 60gr and 77gr Sierra TMKs are showing some pretty good potential from what I've been testing off camera so far. I was actually surprised at how well the Frontier 55gr Match shot. Unfortunately I don't have more of those to confirm that though. And the availability of 223/5.56 is pretty dismal right now

@@ChuckinTV I think it’s more accurate to say a heavy bullet typically does better with a fast twist bullet. :-) I tried some heavies in that gun and was less than impressed. Those 40gr Fiocci loads and 52gr Sierra hpbt on the other hand were really impressive!

Honestly I would get it and swap the barrel and bolt for 6.5 Grendel while finishing it off with a single stage trigger. Would make a good bolt gun in all honesty.

I do have a Timney in it. And I would like to change the barrel because this one still doesn't shoot very well.

Can you change the buttstock to an ar15 stock?

Can an ar15 stock be replaced on this rifle?

👍😃✌️

If you did the set screw's that all you need

I just want to know why you are calling it an AR if its not a semi automatic.

CA legal?

I wanted this haha. I get what you mean. This has the benefit of being compliant and also having a folding stock. But obviously if you wanted a semi, this isn’t it. This is just a nice stowaway rifle for varmint hunting in my opinion. Maybe a good option for a bugout or survival pack
