holy crap. that, sir, is a beautiful machine. i would normally think that the only thing missing would be a pair of perfect breasts but really, where would you put them? aside from that dilemna, it's a beauty. great job, sir.

They would go great in the back ground...but i might get kicked off the forum lol. Thanks for the compliments.

Since this is part two of your build, does this mean they are double GGs? Very nice build. Is a range report in the future?

Just the one Grendel for now. That's the same rifle on my previous thread, i just broke it down and upgraded it. Definitely a range report to follow as soon as i get a day off of work. I'm curious to see how much the matched parts will factor in, the rifle already shot fantastic.

While you're working, I could do the range testing for you. All you really need to do is ship it to me, and the rest will be taken care of...simple. I'll even take pics of everything for you, and you can post them yourself.

That rifle is sexy-sleek. You spared no expense on the components for sure. What loads will you start with?

Haha sure no problem, I know you'll take good care of it...


Honestly hand loading is my next project, I still have to buy all my stuff and do the research. I have some friends that have it down to a science so I'll definitely consult with them for advice once I start. The rifle loves 123 gr A Max, i can cut holes with it...or could before the upgrades. I don't see matched parts hurting it any but you don't ever know until you test it. Thanks for the compliment!

That handguard is rowdy! Let us know how she shoots

Thanks guys!

Great looking rig! I'd be very curious to see what kind of velocities you get from a 28" barrel. It might be close to a 260 Rem. out of a carbine length barrel. Keep us posted.

That is truly one awesome looking build!

If i remember correctly, last time i put it on the chrony while it was on the old upper it shot 2816 with 123 gr Hornady A Max. I'm going to do some testing with the adjustable gas block and see if that has any effect on velocity.
