My First Grendel Build

[jjjefferson]

Spent the last couple of months hunting down the parts. Put it together and my first 3-rounds were touching at 100 yards. Tweaked the cheap scope I put on it...and I was getting dime sized groups! She shoots very easy :-)

How do you like the Syrac gas block?

I like it. I have a 5.56 with with a JP Enterprises adjustable gas block and I have the Syrac. What I like about the Syrac is that it has a built in "detent" on the adjustment screw and it adjusts from the front so you can put it under a full length rail. The JP doesn't have a detent and the adjustment screw is on the side. I had to put some blue locktite on the screw in order to get it NOT to move too easily. The JP has a rail on it for a flip up sight and that works best for my 5.56 build which has a wood furniture kit so there was no need for a low-profile GB. I like the Syrac for this "under the rail" application. It fit very tight on the barrel. I had to sand it some to get it to squeeze on there. I am confident its not going to move at all! Make sure you note whether the model Syrac GB is with or without the detent. They make both types.

You got a shooter right there. Very nice build and groups. Time to stretch the legs...

Outstanding looking stick.

[Nevada Shooter]

Real nice build and a shooter. Love the side bolt concept. Good clean job !!!

VERY COOL! All black usually appeals to me less, but this one's a charmer. Diggin' the side charger...that's the way I think I'm goin. Old school guy. And thanks for the group pics...that's even more important! Now I'm getting an understanding of how accurate they can be. I hate it when I end up with a hot chick but her personality stinks.
