Hello - roto-prop - 03-08-2011
This is so nice to see this site up again. I started thinking about building my first grendel after poking around on this site before and when I was about to start the site went down! Just stopped by to check and surprise ! good to see it up I am a newbe to grendels and for that matter ar-15's. I am currently working with kim over at Satern Machine getting the details worked out for a barrel. They have been just super people to work with ! Good communications and always get back to me pretty quick. I have been thinking about a 18" barrel with 8.75 twist. not shure if I should extend the barrel out to 19" or 20". And I am not sure about fluting the last thing I want to do is possibly compromise the integrity of this barrel. This is the first barrel I have ever had made. I am not sure on the gas system mid length or rifle. I may want to add a suppressor in the future. I have a Mega billet upper and lower and a young carrier. I have ordered a ar-15 gold trigger. Any recomendations or thoughts would be most welcome. ( John thank you for all your effort for giving us such a great sight.)

Great to have ya, RP! I've met Steve and Deb Satern in person, and they're great folk and a lot of fun to hang around. Steve's ability with pints of Guinness is truly quite amazing, but I digress. . . . Anyway, I've got an Satern 18" fluted barrel that shoots like it's magnetically connected to the target! You'll enjoy. . . .
Any questions you have, choose the appropriate forum section and have at it.

This will be my first custom gun barrel. I feel like a kid waiting for x-mess!!! I have three children raised on a mechanics wages LOL. The two oldest are 22 yrs ,21 yrs now and the youngest is 16yrs. I can hardly wait to get it all done and try her out.
