Deezil: It sounds like your news is getting better and better now. It's good to hear and let us know how she shoots once you get the chance.

Seems like the dealer is trying to make it right, hopefully is was an honest mistake. Soon you'll have a shooter in you hands, have fun.

OK, back! LOVE IT, HUGE HUGE thank you to Bill Alexander / Alexander Arms! Ran like a champ, put 1.5 boxes of fun through it, sighted in, playing with the different ammo, and just getting feel of it, never had or shot an AR before so its all new to me. Hornady box Amax 123gr was best group at under 1" at 100. Look forward to reloading and seeing if I can tighten them up some more, hopefully. Bone stock AR lower, I can tell this thing is LOUD, other people at the range were impressed with its shooting and they seemed to have heard of a Grendel but never seen one yet.
Cant wait to take some game with it, and get a turrett scope on it!

Awesome!!!

Some cases are dented a little in the body, all are scratched some, but she's a worker!

The little dent in the case body is harmless and helps to act as a counter for how many times the case has been loaded.
If you get dents in the case mouth then the Velcro fix will stop those.
New grendel, wont fire - Deezil - 01-28-2012
not the mouth, middle of the body. maybe I need an adjustable gas block? It doesnt throw them far at all, so maybe thats just how it is

Glad you got your Grendel running. I can see the addiction is starting to set in.
New grendel, wont fire - Deezil - 01-28-2012
yep, but Im building the next one from all parts, probably get an AA longer barrel
New grendel, wont fire - BjornF16 - 01-28-2012
Deezel, I'm getting the same dent on the main body...I'm starting a new thread in this section to discuss.
New grendel, wont fire - Deezil - 01-28-2012
10-4, Ill be looking, Im guessing its bouncing off that bump behind the opening, but not sure, I need to video it with my HD cam and slow it way down probably.
New grendel, wont fire - Whelenon - 01-28-2012
Got your rifle shooting, that good to hear. They are definitely more fun when they boom. Good luck hunting.
HD videos of ejection, I look forward to that.
