Lilja AR740 Original GB... Shouldn't have sold her. - cory - 07-25-2014
As most know I sold the Grendel Rifle I built with the AR740. The gentlemen sent me these pictures after his first range trip.

4 shots at 100 yards, with factory Hornady 123 SST.
He's still awaiting activation, or it'd be him posting this rubbing it in. HAHA

Ouch!!
Talk about seller's regret. At least you have a Lilja SBR in your near future

Just got my Lilja AR740 last week, was told it is the correct specs. Will be finishing the upper in the next 2 weeks, have a crap-load of parts in process of shipping. Hopefully it will shoot as good as this one.

That is awesome! Would you mind giving some pointers on what you did to get those results? Did you need to lap the Seekins upper? Did you use the Geissele tool to put the barrel in or an ordinary upper clamshell clamp, etc.
Plus, condolences...but I am sure you will love the project you are working on anyway...and you will probably more than happy with that.

It went to a good home. It was someones first Grendel. That helps ease the pain. haha
No lapping. I did use a brownells tool. Wish I would have spent a little more and got the geissele tool. Nothing against the brownells tool, I just like to have the best tool available.
I did torque everything to spec. I used a barrel nut grease from (insert resident evil sounding company name here) AR building company. The name of the company escapes me.
I didn't break it in. Just shot about 25 at a range session, cleaned the barrel good, about 25 more rounds at another range session then cleaned it good again. All Hornady factory ammo.

Apparently the Umbrella stuff is unobtainium, but Amazon has the shell stuff but in a LOL 14oz tube.

For barrel nut grease, you can use Coastal Moly EP grease, obtainable from almost any car parts store. Napa, Autozone etc... A little dab will do ya and a 1 pound can will last quite awhile, unless you turn AR's out at an extremely high rate!

That's great. I hope mine can do that. I shot about 10 test fire rounds along with a buddy of mine that had never shot an AR. Put them at about Quarter size from 50 yards, without sighting in. Just haven't had time to push the distance out any further. Maybe in Aug sometime.
