Id look hard at where you will find ammo, or brass before building this. If you want a LR rifle in the the AR platform, Id look at the new 224 Valkyrie.
I’m interested in the argument how the Valk is better than a 6.5CM. If it’s only a paper puncher, I could see the advantage. For any practical purpose, seems like 6.5 has the edge.This^^. It's the most capable LR cartridge in the AR platform. Arguably better than 6.5CM in AR10 is, and at much lower cost to build and to shoot. You only need a .224 barrel and 6.8 SPC mags and bolt, from what I gather.

I have a dtech 25wssm.
I have killed a few deer and a couple hogs with it.
It shoots very accurate and has 25 06 speed.
I have only a hundred rounds thru mine and have thought about selling it.
Brass is hard to find,but i have 1000 new federal wssm plus winchester brass. I kinda of hoard things. lol
If interested,pm me.
