The Affordable NGSW

For those of us that can't afford the Sig Sauer M7, here is an "affordable" Next Generation Squad Weapon for the civilian on a budget.
for this build we start with the Aero Precision M5 lower receiver and use the Dead Shot 6.5 creedmoor 12" barrel.

Could this be the affordable alternative to the XM7 sig Sauer Spear used by the US military in the NGSW Program?
In part one of the Short Barrel 6.5 Creedmoor Series, we see if the 6.5 Creedmoor short barreled M5 can engage targets at 800 yards.

Video Summary:

In this video, the creator discusses their attempt to build a civilian version of the military’s Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW), which is currently being implemented with the Sig M7 chambered in 6.8x51mm (or 277 Fury). Since civilian access to 277 Fury is limited, they opted for a 6.5 Creedmoor platform, which is more accessible.

Here's a breakdown of the build:

The rifle is based on the AR-10 platform with an Arrow M5 lower receiver.
It uses a 12-inch stainless steel heavy barrel from Deadshot chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor.
The setup is topped off with a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x magnification scope, similar to the optic used on the military's NGSW.
A Dead Air Nomad 762 suppressor and Dead Air Key Mount muzzle brake are used.
The rifle has a SB Tactical SBA4 brace (replacing the original SBA5).
The video includes a live shooting test at 800 yards, where the creator successfully hits targets with the 6.5 Creedmoor setup using a 1-8x magnified optic, even though they were shooting from a less-than-ideal position on a truck bed. They note that while a 1000-yard shot might be possible, further testing is needed to evaluate its effectiveness at that range. The creator also plans to upgrade the optic for more precise long-range shooting in the future.
