Dlask 8" vs 12.5"

Getting back on track...Can anyone note the weight of the 8" vs the 12.5" in a Boyd's Evolution stock? I've heard people commend the balance of both the 8" and the 12.5"...I'm really torn between them.

Also, has anyone ever done something as insane as having an Xtreme chambering in an 8"?

Thanks,
Cal.

im planning a range run tomorrow and im suppose to call my co-worker to come.
i have the 8 and he has the 12.5
we have different glass on them but ill try to remember to do a quick weigh in for ya before we go.
 
If weight/ balance is an issue. You could always look at a tactical solutions barrel. 15oz and 16"
The 8" dlask was 1.2lbs so very close on weight.

I'm shying away from the 16" barrels at this time in favor of something shorter. One of the many debates I'm having on this build is length vs weight vs accuracy. I would prefer a shorter barrel for it's nimble-ness and lighter weight, but don't want something "too" heavy or to sacrifice accuracy due to it's length. It's finding that happy spot between all of those factors... One area which I'm concerned about is whether the 12.5 is "too" heavy. I know "too" is a very personal metric, but I have never seen a Dlask barrel in the flesh, so I'm relying on the experts (you guys) and your opinions.

Thanks again Little_Airwolf, and everyone else who's helping guide me down this wonderful rabbit hole.
Cal.
 
You can always get a contoured barrel rather than a bull profile, if weight is an issue. Personally I like a little more weight, especially for offhand shooting... it really steadies you down. The 12.5" is not overly heavy.
 
I guess if you buy ot and dont like it, sell it and try something else.
Just wanted to give you options since weight is an issue.
I have a 10/22 in a axiom stock, dlask bolt, CH22 receiver and tactical solutions barrel.
Here is one with the 8" dlask which is prohib unless pinned and the other with the tacsol barrel.

My setup with a trs25 and 25 round mag loaded is 3.75lbs!

I certainly appreciate options. I have found over the years that I've had an attraction to shorter and shorter rifles. I've certainly looked at TacSol's products and love their light weights and looks, but as far as I know 16" is the smallest they go.

Now that's a light rifle! For clarification is that this one minus the TRS25?

no glass?
 
No. Thats with the trs25.
The stock it 1.1lbs, the barrel is 15oz, the trs25 is 3.7oz but add in abit for the high riser. The receiver, bolt, trigger group and mag make up the rest. 1.5lbs.
I looked into a Volquartsen ultralight gun. Just the action and barrel is 2.7lbs.
If you google lightest 22lr. There are a few builds that I followed. I didnt believe their weight but now I have one.
Im happy. Low weight and long barrel to keep the noise down. The 8" IMO was twice as loud and needed ear protection it was so loud.
Just my 2 cents. Thanks for the kind words!

Great points wayup!
The dlask barrels a mich better than stock. They are alot heavier so keep that in mind. Like he said, the longer you go, it turns the hun into a benchrest only gun.
Joes work is great. There is difference in loudness between the barrels and alot more than the stock barrel. So pleaze keep that in mind also.
If you want to do offhand shooting IMO the 8" barrel is great but only for short distances. I found that the 8" barrel compared to stock and my tactical solutions barrel, really opened up after 50+ yds. So please take that into account.
It really depends how far you want to shoot and if you only benchrest or shoot offhand aswell.
Dlask bolt os great. Got it on sale a few months ago for about $90! Its about $110 now.

That stock with an 8" Barrel is a prohibited weapon as soon as the barrel is inserted in the receiver "unless" the stock is permanently fixed in place PRIOR to the insertion of the barrel. Further it is dangerous in design concept... in that, with the forearm extending so far beyond the muzzle, it would be too easy to inadvertently place a finger on the flight path of the bullet.

Mm-m-m, not quite.
That stock in it's shortest form will be >26'', therefore it will be non-restricted as long as the barrel is over 106mm. I had a 'interesting' discussion with the RCMP about this.

If you want to see them scratching their heads, run this by them.
- You cannot legally cut your 10/22 barrel to less 18''... otherwise you end up with a prohibited firearm.
- But it's OK to cut that same barrel to use on your Ruger Charger pistol (as long as it's over 106mm)

Now the <fun> part, it's OK to use a Charger barrel on your 10/22...
 
As I said I have to pin the stock to make 26" That's one of the reasons why I sold it. Dlask SBR are all 26"+
I dont even think it reclassifiys it as restricted. I think it just jumps to prohibited. But if Im wrong, I dont mind. I didnt like the short barrel anyway.

I don't know the stock in question... I was going off of Little Airwolf's assertion that it had to be "pinned" to be legal... therefore, until it is pinned, which it doesn't appear that it was... then inserting the 8" barrel would immediately render it "prohibited." The 18" limit is only for altering an existing barrel... new manufacture barrels of shorter length may be used as long as the OAL remains 26"+.

I have Dlask barrels in 8"/10"/12.5"/18 (and multiples of each)... my favorite length is the 12.5" for balance, carry and offhand accuracy... if you are building a bench gun, then go with the 18" or 20" with Xtreme chamber, polishing the chamber will take care of any "stickiness" and it only takes 10 minutes to do. Joe's Sporter chamber is much tighter than the factory sporting chamber. As for the thread stem length, just run a tap into whatever product you are adding...

Hey Hoytcanon,what do you use to polish a chamber?
