It is done!
Guys, I made it,...my gun made it into the German CALIBER magazine! The February issue will have an 8 page special about the gun I build up. As soon as I am allowed to post pics you will get them!
Just for your information: the best group we were finally able to produce was 8 mm wide!!! Cheers to Dave Manson from Manson Reamers, he made it possible!

Excellent news, and congratulations!!
We'll be waiting with anticipation for your pictures. Does CALIBER have an online presence? I was unsuccessful in looking them up.

Excellent job!! For my fellow 'murricans that have not spent years in the company of our Euro brethren that is 'bout 1/3 moa.

Incredible. Truly one for the ages. I love the use of the Grendel logos: on the mags, the muzzle devices, the bi-pod, etc. Very nice!

That is really awesome. Very nice. Very cool to have a write up in a magazine.

I got a PVD Titaniumnitride coating for my barrel extension:
I got that for all my ARs. If you know a small manufacturer ask them to coat the barrel extensions this way!! It really improves the barrel extension! The cleaning is 100% improved due to the no-stick feature of the Titanium.

Great to see that rifle turn out the way it did! Very beautiful work from Germany! Kohoki spared no expense on this project.

Hi Guys,
it´s "zee German" again...I can give a few infos on performance now:
The gun is running very smooth, now. I had to solve some extraction issues but a D-Fender Ring cleared that out. The gun is able to realize 5 shot groups (100m) of 17,8 to 21,3 mm with the following reloading setup:
Brass: Lapua
Bullet: 136 grs. Lapua Scenar-L
Powder: 27.0 grs N140
COAL: 57.10 mm
My results with 123 grs. A-MAX bullets are quite disillusioning - all my loads with different powders vary about 25mm (1")

What chamber did you end up with?
My first 6.5mm Grendel Project - after 3 .223 Rem AR-15s - Kohoki - 11-02-2015
It has been chambered with a Dave Mansion Reamer which is compliant to SAAMI specs. I got it inspected:

Hey guys,
Just wanted you keep you up to date: My Grendel has performed up to 600 rounds by these days. The best performance was achieved with LAPUA SCENAR-L 136grs bullets. These guys realized 5 shot groups about 10-15mm on 100m. Unfortunately Berger Bullets are really hard to buy here overseas, I´d really like to try these out.
