My Grendel Build - Uker - 04-01-2011
[ATTACH=CONFIG]34[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]35[/ATTACH]
Here is my Grendel project. It took me about 2 years to get everything assembled and put together.
Specs:
-Started as an AA overwatch upper (24")
-Spikes Tactical lower
-Magpul PRS stock
-Monopod
-MIAD grip with extra bolt and firing pin (incase I shear off a bolt lug)
-BCM Chargin Handle with extra large release
-Adams Arms piston kit
-Troy rifle length rail (to accomodate the piston kit)
-Leupold Mark IV 4.5x14x50 with flashkill
-LaRue mount
-Custom built suppressor for 6.5mm- Freedom model from Liberty Suppressors (libertycans.net) Note:I do not shoot subsonic rds and the suppression at the rifle is reduced almost enough to shoot without earplugs. Let's just say my buffer spring makes the most noise now.
I'm shooting reloaded SMK120s and Berger 130 VLDs. At 200 yards I can drive the rounds almost through the same hole.

Uker -
That is truly one fine piece of equipment you have there.
You may have just posted something that could be considered 'gun porn'.
What's your 130 VLD load?
My Grendel Build - Uker - 04-03-2011
Thanks. It's been a labor of love to bring it this far.
As for my 130 VLD recipe: 28.8g BL-C2 (its dirty as hell, but works great), COL 2.265, CCI#450, Lapua brass. Chrono'd averaged 2370FPS. That's spot-on as per the AA recommendations. I would like to switch to an alternate powder, but I'm reluctant to change something that works.

Awesome. Camo job is very good. Not too much, not too little. Good job!
Now finish that tile job!
My Grendel Build - Uker - 04-03-2011
LOL, thanks for noticing (the tile)! I stopped there because I'm building a bookcase- someday.

Uker,
In the the target picture, is that bullet hole at the top 2:00 O'clock your POI change with your suppressor? I would like to use my Gemtech Quicksand on my Grendel. Need to pull the barrel and have it rethreaded.
Until that day,
Darkop
