Finally got around to shooting my grendel. - Etijsma - 08-19-2018
I have been slowly building this over the past 6 months for a hog hunting trip in Texas this upcoming October. Already have a 450 bushmaster but wanted another semi auto to take so I decided on a grendel.
The build consists of the following.
-aero upper
-aero lower and trigger kit - LaRue Tactical 2 stage on back order
-aero buffer tube kit
-toolcraft BCG
-odin 18 stainless barrel and adj gas block/tube
-eBay handguard
-ATN xsight 4k
-Uniquefire IR light w/QD Mount
-HM stock
-hornady 123gr SST
Got to take it out the other week to get the ATN night vision a try along with a couple of different IR lights to see the difference. Its been a long time since shooting a standard trigger and didnt realize how horrible they feel when you are used to a 2 stage. With that said I feel I did ok at 100 yards in the dark with have to center it up on the target vs aiming at the actual bullseye.

My oldest thinking about shooting.

Since my 450 bushmaster has a RRA 2 Stage trigger, I swapped lowers yesterday and did this. Overall Im ecstatic it did this well at 100 yards.
