$4,480.00
Lightweight, compact bolt-action rifle chambered in 8.6 Blackout with a 16-inch threaded barrel, folding stock, and AR-style controls. Built for precision shooting and suppressed performance.
The Q The Fix 8.6 Blackout 16in Rifle, Black Accents is a purpose-built bolt-action precision tool that ditches unnecessary weight without sacrificing accuracy. Chambered in the hard-hitting 8.6 Blackout, this 16-inch threaded lightweight stainless barrel cycles subsonic and supersonic loads with equal authority. The one-piece receiver and folding stock reduce packed length dramatically, while AR-style controls and a two-stage match trigger keep operation familiar and crisp. This is a rifle engineered for shooters who demand modularity, suppressed performance, and repeatable precision from a compact package.

Key Features
- 16-inch Lightweight Stainless Barrel, Threaded – The 1:7 twist rate stabilizes heavy 8.6 Blackout projectiles out to 300+ yards. The threaded muzzle accepts direct-thread suppressors or Q’s Cherry Bomb brake, keeping the overall length compact and suppressor-ready.
- One-Piece Receiver with Folding Stock – The monolithic receiver eliminates bedding inconsistencies and guarantees a stable zero. The folding stock reduces overall length by roughly 8 inches for transport or storage, without disassembly.
- Q-SERT Free-Float Handguard – The handguard attaches directly to the barrel nut, not the barrel itself, ensuring zero point-of-impact shift from sling pressure or bipod load. Full-length M-Lok slots let you attach accessories exactly where needed.
- Two-Stage Match Trigger – A clean, predictable break with minimal overtravel. First stage take-up is light, second stage breaks at approximately 2.5 lbs, giving you the control needed for precision shots on steel or game.
- AR-Style Controls and SR-25 Magazine Compatibility – Ambidextrous safety, bolt release, and magazine release mirror your AR platform, so muscle memory transfers directly. Accepts standard SR-25 pattern magazines for 10+1 capacity out of the box.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the precision shooter who wants a lightweight, compact bolt gun that runs suppressed with maximum efficiency. It suits the hunter who stalks in thick cover and needs a short, quiet rifle. It fits the long-range enthusiast who shoots both subsonic and supersonic 8.6 Blackout loads at steel out to 300-400 yards. It’s also for the tactical competitor who appreciates AR ergonomics in a bolt-action platform.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Extremely lightweight at ~6.5 lbs; folding stock for compact carry; two-stage match trigger; suppressor-ready barrel; accepts common SR-25 magazines.
- Cons: 8.6 Blackout ammunition is still relatively scarce and expensive compared to .308 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor; the proprietary Q-SERT handguard limits handguard swap options if you want a different profile.

The 16-inch barrel has a 1:7 twist rate, optimized for the heavy 300-grain projectiles typical in 8.6 Blackout loads.
