well herre is the start of my grendel build. its a 24 inch AA stainless barrel, Mega machine shop billet side bolt upper, Midwest industries SS free float tube, adams arms rifle length piston conversion. I drilled the BCG and built the charging handle at work on the lathe. milled the barrel nut for the free float to work with the tube. what do you think. [Image: IMG_20110131_164306.jpg]

It's gorgeous!! That is very nice looking build you got going on. You read my mind! I want to do exactly that...as far as the Mega Side Charging Upper goes anyway. I know AA has one, but you can save a bit of coin this way. Don't know if anybody has noticed, but the AA Side Charging Billet Upper looks IDENTICAL to Mega's. Meanwhile, I don't own a lathe so I'm going to have to buy my side charging carrier....unless you want to help a fellow Grendel lover out? I would, of course, be glad to compensate a person, but I am thinking that I would have way more options on a carrier if I were to get it drilled myself. I'll have to look into that locally! Thank you for the great idea!
