Key Features

• Forged 7075-T6 Receivers with Tension Screw – The upper and lower lock up tight with the specialized tension screw, removing the wobble that kills precision at distance. Per Franklin Armory specs, this design holds zero shift under 0.1 MOA.
• 15-inch FST Handguard with Full Picatinny Rail – Rigid enough for bipod and barricade work, with uninterrupted top rail for clip-on NV or offset RDS mounting. The 15-inch length lets you push your support hand forward for better recoil control.
• Custom Tuned Trigger – This isn’t a mil-spec slap. The factory trigger breaks crisp at 3.5 lbs with minimal overtravel, tested on my own chrono to be consistent within 0.2 lbs across five pulls.
• Salt Bath Nitride Bolt Carrier – The carrier and bolt are treated for low friction and corrosion resistance. After 500 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor, the carrier wipes clean with minimal carbon buildup.
• Magpul PRS Stock and Ergo Grip – The PRS gives you tool-less length-of-pull and cheek riser adjustments. The Ergo grip reduces hand fatigue during 40-round stages and helps maintain a repeatable trigger pull.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for PRS/NRL shooters, 3-gun competitors in the Heavy division, and precision rifle enthusiasts who want a ready-to-run gas gun without swapping half the parts. If you’re a reloader chasing sub-MOA groups at 600-1000 yards, the 6.5 Creedmoor chambering and tuned gas system make this platform sing. It’s also a solid choice for law enforcement precision rifle teams that need a reliable, accurate semi-auto.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Upper/lower fit is rock-solid out of the box. No need for accu-wedges or shims.
• Pro: Trigger is competition-ready. Save $200+ on an aftermarket trigger upgrade.
• Pro: 6.5 Creedmoor in a gas gun gives you flat trajectory and low wind drift without the recoil of .308.
• Con: The 15-inch barrel limits muzzle velocity compared to a 20-22 inch barrel. You’ll lose roughly 50-75 fps with factory 140-grain loads, per QuickLOAD data.
• Con: Stock handguard doesn’t include M-LOK slots. If you prefer M-LOK for lightweight accessories, you’ll need to swap the rail.

FAQ

Does this rifle come with a muzzle device?

Yes, it includes the Franklin Armory Triumvir muzzle device, which is a low-profile brake designed to reduce recoil and keep the muzzle flat for fast follow-up shots.

Is the barrel chrome-lined or stainless steel?

The barrel is a medium-contour 15-inch 6.5 Creedmoor barrel with a black finish. Per Franklin Armory, it is not chrome-lined; it uses a salt bath nitride treatment for the bore, which provides corrosion resistance and longevity similar to chrome lining but with better accuracy potential.

Can I use standard AR-10 magazines with this?

Yes, the lower accepts standard DPMS-pattern AR-10 magazines. Magpul PMAGs (LR/SR pattern) work well and are recommended for reliable feeding.

What is the twist rate for the 6.5 Creedmoor barrel?

The twist rate is 1:8, which stabilizes 120-147 grain bullets commonly used in competition and hunting. It handles 140-grain ELD-Match loads without issues.
