HIGH DEF VID: PROJECT TITAN FIRST GLANCE (BASIC FUNCTION TRIAL)

What is Known:

- Application; Benchrest Only, Civilian Use
- Materials Steel Construction
- Weight: Pending (estimate between 30lb to 40lb fully loaded)
- Caliber: .308; Testbed (.338 pending success)
- Universal Application (any AR platform that can accept a free float tube; some minor variations on rail height match)
- Maximum Effective Range; 800 Yards
- Platform: DPMS LR-308 (MA-TEN components scheduled for final demo unit)
- Total Length: 27-29" (based on adjustable Magpul PRS)

Additional Features:

- Integrated Muzzle Brake (2 horizontal large profile ports and 4 directional ceiling ports)
- Liquid Cooling (type of system pending further R&D)
- Polished BCG (right handed side charging handle conversion currently pending)

PROJECT RULES:

1. Must have the ability to attach/detach to/from the "host" rifle with little to no gunsmithing knowledge or specialized tools.

2. Must have the ability to attach/detach in a few minutes or less from the "host" rifle.

3. Must have the ability to convert the "host" rifle back to completely stock and functional format.

4. Must have universal ability to attach/detach to any AR platform rifle regardless of caliber. (Front Plate may offer slightly different dimensions to account for caliber)

5. Must have the ability to be mobile when fully configured. (aka; no attaching a 100lb concrete block)

6. Must be recognizable as a AR platform rifle in spirit (aka; no rail guns, which pretty much equate to #5)

PROJECT GOALS:

1. Accomplish accuracy to mimic that of a bolt action platform. If we cannot reproduce the same results as a bolt action chamber design we will manipulate it through other means.

2. Control barrel temps to provide consistency.

Final Test: Two shooters of equal skill will be given 20 rounds of ammunition. One shooter will use a .308 bolt action rifle and one shooter will use the Project Titan semi-auto rifle. This test results will be a combination of elapsed time to deplete all 20 cartridges and also measured accuracy on the target.

Distance of the test is still not determined as of this time.

* Important Note: We do not dispute that dollar for dollar, the bolt action rifle is far more cost effective. That however is not a concern of the projet.

you want to shoot it against my ar10 308 ??
its a dedicated benchrest rifle....
3" wide flat forearm, 36x luepold, 308 win br chamber, 1/15 twist....
shoots in the low 2's with a small group of 0.116.......

you need to define"bolt rifle"...mass produced , factory custom, smith custom or full benchrest rifle....they do exisit in 308 win....

Oh well still have a bit to go before we put it to the test. We are still mulling over the type of cooling we want to use.

What state do you live in?
 
OK, so your coolant system wants to be not touching the barrel...... ie you want to be able to remove/replace the actual rifle?

You need to pull heat but NOT TOUCH the host rifle?

al
 
We are still researching the type of cooling system we want to employ. So I can't comment one way or the other at this time. If I gave the impression that we did have something decided it was by mistake.
 
you did not answer the question.....
what type of bolt action rifle are you trying to out shoot ??

in 308/7.62 the mil seems to like both armalite ar-10s and knights armamnet sr25's.....
you have started with a low end rifle for your base...compared to the other two...as in starting with an uphill battle....
you need to understand i build and shoot ar platforms in benchrest competiton....sorta btdt....
i believe there is a benchrest 600 yd record held by a 308 win.....
and we are all allowed to build what we want..i just don't understand what you are building.....

A rifle of equal caliber and similar price tag.

The point of the project is not simply to shoot as accurate as a bolt action rifle, but to also deplete the cartridges in a fraction of the time.

I guess its a mixture of elapsed time and accuracy.
 
go to a benchrest match, and watch a shooter 'run" 5 shots...you will be impressed with how fast a benchrest shooter can shoot...accurately...they stop at 5 or in unlimited at 10..but you are gonna be impressed...

Oh I have no doubt on what you say.

When we conduct tests I will not be the shooter. The gun already out shoots me.

But to the point, semi-auto is still faster than a hand opening and closing a bolt, even if just a little bit.

The project is not to set a new standard. The simple factor of weight and price eliminate that possibility. The project is just to prove (hopefully) it can be done if you want to do it.

Edit: And in all honesty its just simply fun to develop a weapon. Worse case situation? I have my very own custom one of a kind rifle that makes a great conversation piece. :)

Now THAT I can get behind :)

DOING IT is reward in itself, and if you break new ground it's bonus.

OK the data is in (aka I borrowed a postal scale from my parents) - fully loaded she comes in at 32lbs 12oz.

So basically right on the dot for a non-loaded Barret M107.
