My Grendel Hunting Rig - Old_School - 03-16-2021
Started with a handful of used parts I bought off a guy who decided the Grendel wasn't for him (Sabre Defence 16" bbl, unknown bolt & gas block, a couple of mags and a muzzle brake). Picked up an Aero upper, added a Seekins NOXS 15" FF handguard, and used an old S&W bolt carrier. Once assembled, I installed it on a Sabre Defence lower I already had, including a LaRue MBT-2S trigger. Although I recently added a PA 1-6X FFP optic, this photo and all my range time has been with an old Burris 4-12x R/A in a cheap Chinese Picatinny mount.
With Hornady American Gunner ammo, it will keep all shots within 1 MOA. This is it's first kill, a feral sow that was 180-200 lbs. Although not a hunting round, that American Gunner put her down on the spot from 60 yds.

Sabre Defense sold a lot of 6.5 Grendel barrels until they were forced out of business. They sold quite a few chrome lined barrels which were popular. Nice build and glad to see your getting to use it.

As I've mention before, I had a chrome-lined, pin and welded 14.5 with mid-length gas system that shot well. I don't know what possessed me to sell it. Dumb.

Looks good and works just as good as it looks. What more could you ask?
