Christensen Arms CA-10 G2 SS 6.5 Creedmoor 20″ KMod Bronze Rifle CA10292-3137231

Christensen Arms’ CA-10 G2 series of modern sporting rifles is feature-rich, utilizing CA’s trademark carbon fiber in critical components to reduce weight and increase structural integrity. This is particularly relevant to AR10-type rifles such as these, which tend to be front-heavy due to the use of long, heavy, metal handguards. Barrel mass is also a consideration; in a traditional AR10-type rifle, the shooter must balance their desired muzzle velocity with the weight that will be imparted by a longer, heavy-contour steel barrel. The CA-10 series, in general, alleviates this issue by offering models with a composite barrel (button-rifled, 416R stainless steel, wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber). The result is a target-contour barrel that weighs considerably less than shorter, all-steel barrels of the same (or even thinner) contour. Select models are available with stainless steel barrels. These features yield a light-weight, high-precision semi-automatic rifle which is, in the case of the G2 series, available from the factory chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Win. All G2 rifles have a sub-MOA guarantee.

In the CA-10 G2 series, Christensen seems to have satisfied a checklist of features that they felt were important in an AR10-type rifle, such as:

• match-grade trigger (breaks at 3.5 – 4.5 lbs.)
• Black Nitride finish applied to the bolt carrier group
• Receiver made of 7075 aluminum
• Adjustable butt stock (BCM Gunfighter)
• Slim-profile handguard, made of Aerograde carbon fiber, available in KeyMod or M-Lok
• Match-reamed barrel chamber
• Button-rifled, 416R stainless steel barrel or barrel insert
• Threaded muzzle (5/8″ x 24 tpi)
• Flash-hider (stainless steel on the all-steel barrel versions; titanium on the CF/Steel barrel versions)
