Help me build this Grendel!!! On the cheap! - Sniper338 - 12-12-2014
Ok fellers.... understand i already have my own dang near $3000 grendel AR build thats SWEET!.... but this is the opposite. Im starting a build for my uncle where he is just buying a part at a time as money allows over the next year or so... As with many of us he cant just go out and buy everything at one time, and he doesnt care about anything fancey at all.. As long as it shoots an inch at 100 yards hes happy really...
So the goal here is to make a cost efficient grendel for the most part... it will have aluminum free floated hand guards... where i know thats not the cheapest route.... adjustable stock where a young kid can shoot it is a must...
Starting out... i found a new aluminum lower receiver for $45 this week i got headed my way..
if you know where to find parts for cheap, or find good deals post them on this thread please!!!!!

In the end this gun is being built for a 5 year old that is ate up with hunting, but still way to small to fit a youth rifle or regular length rifle.

Brownells has the Grendel barrel too it's cheaper and you can find coupon codes at times to save even more. What part do you have?

PM me, I have a 14.5" barrel and flash hider that can be pinned on. It needs a new home and it will be cheap (not perfect cosmetically.)

Check out Joe Bob's Outfitters as they have good prices on AR-15 parts with free fast shipping if you spend $90. I buy most of my RRA NM LPK from JBO. Palmetto State has the best prices and frequently run specials and at times offer free shipping. I have also bought optics and parts from Primary Arms and Hamlund Tactical. These companies are all GTG.
I have a couple of friends who bought 6.5 Grendel barrels from Brownell's from the first batch which were marked 6.5 Grendel. These two barrels are good shooters and Brownell's stand behind what they sell.

I am going to help in the best way possible! Free parts, as I am Santa Claus! I have most of the small parts you need and I have a Carbine Commercial tube, grip, buffer and spring and I will keep digging for more stuff. But Santa is going to Vegas till Monday to have one last weekend off before Christmas. I usually pick up the tab for someone at Walmart that appears to need some financial assistance around the holidays and pay for their entire cart. This year I'm starting right here! We can PM and work out the details! Merry Christmas to all!!!

If you need them I have a bolt release, pivot and release pins, a safety too. On the barrel talk with Mark at precision firearms. He has a low end barrel he uses for one of his uppers maybe he'll sell you just a barrel and bolt and he uses a 6.5 Grendel chamber!

I can pitch in an AR15 Build Box to help keep everything together, as well as some other parts. I have a lot of extra parts that just sit around.

Hey, Sniper338... It may help if you update us on what your dad still needs to fill up that build box. After things settle down a bit, why not take stock and let us know. I have some odds n' ends, as well, and I just may have that missing left handed muzzle device with sand colored finish.

I havent received anything yet, only have a lower receiver i got in yesterday, and a grip with the grip bolt that i had laying around.
