Black Friday budget Grendels - Jeepster18_88 - 11-28-2019

I'm not sure how they'll turn out but I've been putting together 3 Grendels and the Black Friday sales sped up the process. I ended up getting 3 Saturn 16" MLGS barrels, KM Tactical Low Mass bolt carriers, Aero uppers, a Radical Firearms 15" handguard and two other 12" but can't remember who's. I'm going to order 3 adjustable gas blocks, bolts, and linear comps from Grendel Hunter. I wasn't planning on buying everything right now but I couldn't pass up the deals. Hopefully everything works well together.

Your most important component for accuracy is the barrel.I would try to get the highest quality barrel I could afford.Budget upper/lower recievers ,BCG,parts & handguards always worked for me.And then there is the trigger.A light crisp trigger helps w/accuracy too.

I had forgotten about the bad blood against Satern/Liberty among some of the members here. These aren't meant to be 1k yard builds, just lighter weight 200 yard max hunting rifles. The main goal is to get my dad and stepmom set up with a semi auto that doesn't weigh as much as a traditional semi auto 243. I would have just saved money and bought BCA or similar but the one I have shoots insanely terrible so I decided to take advantage of all the sales and see if I could get the job done myself. I've talked to a lot of people lately who have been having great success with the liberty line barrels. If it doesn't work, it seems anyone can make a 7.62x39 shoot well with factory ammo so I'll rebarrel for that. I'm slowly building myself a long range Grendel and it will definitely cost me when I get that barrel. I'm actually building two, one light and one heavy.

I’ve got no “bad blood” or resentment against any barrel.They all serve a niche.I was just stating a fact.

Was referring to you. Just went back and did a search. It's been awhile since I've been on here. I agree with what you were saying though.
