My Grendel is Born! - Gamecock84 - 06-06-2013

Hello Hoard!

Thanks to Jim at Quality Arms of Idaho my Grendel was born in record time! I will be working for more than a week straight so no range time for a bit, but I promise once I do I will post results along with better pics. Green grip is there because it will be probably camo'd to my environment in the near future.

Main Parts:

Upper- Custom Quality Arms Side Charger Upper
Lower- Seekins Precision SP223 Billet
Bolt- Quality Arms Chromed
Barrel- Black Hole Weaponry 18" 264LBC Type II 1x9 SS P3
Forearm- Midwest Industries Gen2 SS free float 15"
Stock-ACE skeleton
Trigger- Geissele SSA-E
Scope Mount- AAD Mount from Aadland Engineering
Scope- Nightforce NXS 3.5x15x50
Grip- Hogue OD Green
Bipod- Atlas BT10-LW17

I have (1) 5rnd mag, (2) 10rnd mags, (2) 25rnd mags plus a few hundred rounds of various ammo.

Cannot wait to break this bad boy in!

Well i like it! First time ive seen someone on here with the aadmount other than me and jon. I like the seekins lowers to i used one for my beowulf build.


My Grendel is Born! - CPT.CRAZY - 06-06-2013

Let us know how it shoots. I am looking at that barrel for my next build, how long did you have to wait to get it?


My Grendel is Born! - Gamecock84 - 06-06-2013

Gun built and delivered in less than 1 month!

I do not want to offend anyone here but people are crazy to wait a year to two years for an upper from some of these companies!


My Grendel is Born! - Whelenon - 06-06-2013

Nice stick, great pics of your build. I like the side charger and the lower is cool. Look forward to you range report.


My Grendel is Born! - outlaw45 - 06-06-2013

How did you get the Grendel logo on the lower?


My Grendel is Born! - Keep The Change - 06-06-2013

Very cool in deed Gamecock.
I'm liking the hand guard, Midwest will be on my list to look at now.

Yes the grendel logo is cool. How did you get that on there?


My Grendel is Born! - lilharcher - 06-06-2013

Very nice rifle......looking forward to the range report in the future.


My Grendel is Born! - Gamecock84 - 06-07-2013

Jim at Quality Arms did the engraving with a pic of the image I sent.

Thanks again guys. Really looking forward to breaking it in.

Looks great. Thanks for posting. I am talking with Jim about getting a side charging upper. Also, I have the MI gen 2 hand guard as well. I am interested in what gas block was used on your setup? Do you have any problems with clearance?


My Grendel is Born! - invisiman - 06-11-2013

Nice set up. I have been thinking about that scope. I have looked through one several times. Addicting.


My Grendel is Born! - Gamecock84 - 06-16-2013

Just a non-adjustable low profile gas block
