What This Kit Is For

Hunters and precision shooters who want a semi-auto 6.5 Creedmoor with AR ergonomics.

Typical Kit Compatibility & Contents (package contents vary by dealer — check your product listing)
While exact kit contents vary by vendor and exclusive package, the SSRK65CRDLPK20BN is centered around the components required to assemble an AR-platform rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Typical inclusions and compatibility notes you can expect:
Typically included or compatible with the kit:
Barrel: 20" configuration indicated by the model suffix (PK20) — a length that balances velocity and maneuverability for 6.5 Creedmoor.
Threaded muzzle: 5/8"-24 tpi for brakes/suppressors.
Black nitride-finished components (barrel or gas system surfaces) for durability.
Handguard / gas system compatibility: Designed to accept common AR-style free-float handguards and standard gas systems (confirm gas length and headspace requirements).
Bolt/BCG and charging handle: Many TacFire kits include a properly headspaced bolt carrier group and charging handle; confirm with Sports South listing whether these are included or sold separately.
Lower parts compatibility: Works with mil-spec or specified lowers and receiver-extension hardware.
Stock/Grip options: May be supplied or left for the builder to select based on desired ergonomics.
Important: Always verify the exact contents of the specific SSRK65CRDLPK20BN listing at point of sale. Some exclusive packages include extras (optic mounts, muzzle brakes, magazines); others ship a core component set for custom builds.
Performance & Ballistics Guidance
Best use cases: Long-range target shooting, PRS-style matches, big-game hunting where extended range and flat trajectory are desired.
Bullet weights: 120–147 grain bullets are commonly used in 6.5 Creedmoor loads and pair well with a 20" barrel for balanced velocity and retained energy.
Accuracy potential: With careful component selection (quality barrel, match BCG, tuned gas system, and a properly fitted barrel/upper), the 6.5 Creedmoor AR platform is capable of excellent group sizes at extended ranges.
Build & Installation Notes
Headspace & fitting: If a bolt/BCG is included, confirm headspace and fit per manufacturer instructions. If using an aftermarket barrel or BCG, have a qualified gunsmith verify headspace and torque specifications.
Gas system: Ensure you select the correct gas length (carbine, mid, rifle) compatible with the barrel and handguard configuration to achieve reliable cycling.
Threaded muzzle devices: Confirm your muzzle device’s thread pitch is 5/8"-24 before installation; use proper crush washers or shims as recommended by the device manufacturer.
Lower receiver compatibility: Verify whether the kit is intended for use with standard AR-10, AR-15, or specific TacFire lower receivers; 6.5 Creedmoor builds often require a larger magwell/receiver than a standard AR-15.
Tools & skills: Basic armorer tools and firearms knowledge are required — if you’re not comfortable assembling an AR, have a licensed gunsmith perform the build.
Maintenance & Care
Cleaning: Regular carbon and fouling control in the gas system, BCG, and chamber will preserve function and accuracy. Use quality solvents and brushes compatible with nitride finishes.
Lubrication: Black nitride surfaces accept and retain lubricant well, but follow recommended lubrication intervals under heavy use.
Inspection: Routinely inspect gas rings, extractor condition, and barrel throat for wear — particularly if you shoot match or high-pressure loads frequently.
Legal & Safety Reminder
Always follow federal, state, and local laws when purchasing, building, and operating firearms. Ensure you comply with configuration and registration rules in your jurisdiction. Practice the four universal firearm safety rules at all times. If you plan to add a muzzle device, suppressor, or any regulated accessory, verify legal requirements and obtain necessary approvals.
