Description
The CROSS SAWTOOTH 6.5 PRC is a precision pistol that blurs the line between a rifle and a handgun. Built for the hunter or long-range shooter who demands rifle-like ballistics in a compact, packable platform, its integrally suppressed design is what sets it apart from anything else in the case.
Key Features
- Integral Sawtooth Suppressor: The barrel is permanently threaded and shrouded by a 6.5″ stainless steel suppressor, making it a quiet, compact system right out of the box. No tax stamp wait for the can.
- 6.5 PRC Chambering: This modern cartridge delivers flat trajectories and serious downrange energy, performance you typically only get from a full-sized rifle.
- Modular Chassis System: Built on a rigid aluminum frame that accepts AR-style grips and has an M-LOK forend for mounting lights or bipods. It’s highly configurable to fit your needs.
- 20-MOA Picatinny Rail: Provides plenty of elevation for mounting a magnified optic and pushing this pistol to its effective range limits.

Honest Assessment
Pros: The biggest advantage is the integrated, non-NFA suppressor. It’s incredibly handy and eliminates paperwork. The 6.5 PRC is a legitimate long-range cartridge, and the chassis design is solid and adaptable. After decades of testing similar concepts, this one feels purpose-built and not just an afterthought.
Cons: This is not a cheap setup. Ammunition for 6.5 PRC is specialized and more expensive than common rounds like .308. At nearly 7 pounds, it’s a heavy pistol, and you’ll absolutely need to mount an optic, adding more cost and weight. Recoil is more pronounced than in a rifle.
Who Should Buy This
This is for a specific shooter: the backcountry hunter who needs a compact, powerful tool for taking game at extended ranges where a rifle is too cumbersome. It’s also ideal for the precision shooter who wants a unique, suppressed bolt-action platform for challenging themselves on steel targets out to several hundred yards. I’ve seen firsthand how a rig like this can open up new hunting opportunities in thick cover or from a tight blind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this considered a suppressor, and do I need a tax stamp?
No. Because the suppressor is permanently attached (integrally manufactured), the entire firearm is transferred as a single pistol on a standard Form 4473. There is no separate NFA tax stamp or wait required for the silencer component.
What kind of accuracy can I expect?
With quality 6.5 PRC ammunition and a good optic, sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) accuracy is a reasonable expectation. I’ve run thousands of rounds through various precision pistols, and a rigid chassis like this, when shot from a supported position, is capable of impressive precision.
Can the grip and forend be changed?
Yes. The chassis uses a standard AR-15 pistol grip pattern, so hundreds of aftermarket options will fit. The forend has M-LOK slots for attaching accessories like a bipod, which I highly recommend for stability.
