Interesting concept.
Perfect solution for a yet to be invented problem.... Too much time on their hands....
As soon as I read the title I thought, why?
So what does a bolt action AR do better than a box fed Remy 700? More tacti-cool shit on the rail that you won't need because you'll never be able to engage in a gun battle because you HAVE A BOLT ACTION AR!

I'm thinking a bolt action upper for an existing gas gun lower.
Much quieter with a can...subsonic ammo maybe?
I can see spending big coin on a lower if i can use it as a bolt gun also.

Go back to sleep! (Also, just emailed you about the PCC match).Gun battle...yea, that's at the top of my list of reasons to buy toys.
Ryan you let me know when you get your bolt action AR built so we can get together for me to not shoot it...

I had a 26” barreled AR upper made by White Oak Precision one time. Left side charging knob threaded into the bolt with the upper machined to match. No gas system at all. It was a straight pull bolt gun for all intents and purposes.
I could see having a short 300blk upper done with one of those, but I have weird tastes.

Your giving me ideas Chris.
The only show stopper on the design you mention is the bolt not actually camming into lock.
I'm a lazy basturd who likes to neck size when possible. I'm not sure that slingshot bolt will do the trick.

familiar ergonomics
readily available - and much cheaper stock options without needing a chassis system
readily available drop in triggers (I assume)
I can see a bunch of reasons this makes sense.

My question- Is it still REALLY and AR? Or perhaps the mutated love child between an AR15 and a Cooper Scout rifle?
More seriously, I can see the appeal for one if the upper will drop on to a standard lower.

If you have a SBR Lower, this could work well for a several of those type applications like Slackers 357 build.

Smith & Wesson is a religion of peace.
I think its a neat concept. With the AR platform being very modular and easy to modify to fit different shooters and their needs, I think making a bolt action based on the design makes good sense.

Yep. There's a single shot and a 5rd mag version that attaches to a standard AR lower. I was looking at them last week.
Savage or Mossberg?
That is awesome! What’s the barrel length on that bad boy?Mossberg.

You can't take ammo home!
Kind of cool for its ability to be shooter serviced in terms of barrel wear/caliber change. Too bad I not only have to wait for more calibers, but for a lefty version also (probably will not ever happen).
The question is if the accuracy improvement outweighs the speed advantage of semi-auto. Given the accuracy of full on AR platforms now, I am not sure that accuracy justifies it. Give me time, I will find a way.
It would decrease the rate at which my son can burn through ammo. There, I did it.

Just throw a ~12oz buffer and heavy spring in so it won't cycle. Boom... single action.

Loud though.
That locked breech really makes it movie quiet. Plus the benefit of having no gas system to lead up.
Let me pay extra for a broken AR. I don't get it, when see posts about people needed help to get an AR to run, now we are going to for one that doesn't work.
