375 Raptor

The quote includes dies too. I’ve built two 338 Federal Stag 10s with McGowen barrels. They were $700 each.

The X-Caliber will be roughly $300 CAD with the discount. It will be a bit more with import and shipping fees though. So I'm going with that. I was really happy with the other barrel I got.

Didn't know you have a 45 Raptor already was that on a Stag 10 as well?

How's the performance have you try that on game?

Yes. Still trying to get it to feed 100%. It’s finicky. Have to modify the mags just right. This summer was chaos and my buddy and I haven’t found time to perfect it.

Wow lovely!

You have the caliber I am dreaming of for Stag 10 as my goal was to get a 375 Raptor and or 45 Raptor.

I noticed you opt for a plain barrel any reason not flute it?

What gas block and size are you currently using and what size will you be using if ordering a 375 Raptor?

I would go 375. If I can get this 45 Raptor going, maybe I could recommend it. I'm going to try 3d printed parts next.

The 45r barrel was premade, so it was 30% off. If I was going to order one, I wouldn't get a pepper pot brake. It has a HBAR contour, Mid length gas system and .750 gas block journal. You can only order them with mid length gas or shorter.

The 375 will probably be 20" with rifle gas length, I might get it cut down to 18.6" after. No fluting because it's pretty expensive from them, IIRC like $150 USD. I might order a headspaced bolt from X-Caliber.
 
Griffin, you aren't the first person that I have heard having problems with Danny. It's sad, he does great work.

Hmm good to know. Thanks for the info.

I won’t get into specifics.....

But I decided to use Danny’s services on a custom bolt gun build (on a reference from EM Precision), I needed custom dies for a wildcat. CH4D was 9 months + wait, Danny promised it in 2.

It’s been over a year at his point.....
 
Holey ####!

I gave Danny my deposit Jan 25th 2019 for dies and barrel. I also bought a complete upper and had it delivered to him. I keep getting excuses as well.

So he has your money, my money and my upper. Wow!

I’ve emailed him several times to mail my blank to me. I’m going to take him to small claims court once harvest is over.
 
Is he just not getting back to anyone on emails or phone calls now? He is actually a really good guy and a very talented machinist. I just had friends pick up work from him that they dropped off at Easter (this year) and they just picked it up. Will try and chat with him, let him know his house is on fire............

He emailed us right after Walks with long stick posted a thread about him.
 
Thought id bump this thread again...

Obviously the 375 Raptor in an AR platform is out the window for the time being, has anybody put one together in a bolt action rifle?

I still have my barrel blank from Blue Chip, I was thinking about buying a Pork Sword chassis and using it.

I was seriously looking into one to build on a Stag 10 receiver prior to Trudope 's ban but can't do it now unless the ban is turn over.

I don't know if you must build one on a bolt action because it will be more economical just to get a bolt action in 375 Ruger it will be much cheaper and need not to go reload route.

The raptor can build on a short action compares to the Ruger (short action vs long action) otherwise I don't think there will be any pros to go raptor vs the ruger.
