First grendel build

[js8588]

Available in side charge?

Your options there are:
Young Mfg.
Bear Creek
Eisenach Arms
CMT
Mega
Lantac
For reciprocating right side.

ASA and JP are left side non reciprocating. Some people prefer that setup.

Bear Creek and Eisenach also offer left side reciprocating.

Who do you think makes the highest quality? Any benefits to the left side charge? My girlfriend is left handed so that maybe better for her if she wants to shoot it...

Holy smokes.. based on your parts list I'm really excited to see this build come to life!

Let's hope it's the Ferrari of Grendel's

If you use an image hosting site like image shack, Flickr or other site put a link in your narrative to the url image link. I used Photobucket for many years till they blocked everyones linked photos and are now charging a high fee to post on forums.

Most of the side chargers also have slots in the back for a rear charging handle so if your girlfriend prefers left hand charging, she can used that. I have Geissele Super Ambi charging handles in 3 of my builds (and one in my Barrett REC7 DMR) and I really like the peace of mind the side and rear charge setup redundancy affords.

The Mega is the "nicest", but it doesn't work with all handguards and fits undesirably tight with most lowers (I have it paired with a Seekins SBA15).

If you want to order it now, get the Eisenach. If you can wait, get the CMT. The Lantac is great, but you want to save weight.

The manage attachments part doesn't come up for me?

Since Photobucket went to the dark side I've been using Imgur. Start an account at IMGUR, simply drop into your photo's on the home page and they load. From there on the right side are a couple of options and select the one for message boards and it will light up green and you copy it. Then simply copy it to your post.

I shall make one today. The handguard is a Christensen arms carbon fiber.
