Just to share my feelings on this. My most experience with rifle shooting is in the benchrest world about 12 yrs (in the 80's & early 90's). I've always loved to shoot so I turned my attention, after benchrest, to pistols shooting. When I retired about 3 years ago I wanted to get back into rifles again so I bought my first AR15 a rock river 5.56. Not happy with 4-5 inch groups @100yds, an internet search sent me here to this forum and the Grendel cartridge. When I decided to build this rifle from scratch the only part I knew that would be of top quality was a Lilja barrel. I knew Dan Lilja from my benchrest days and the quality of his barrels. His barrels have won their share of matches. He is one of the top 10 barrels makers in the US. So I got in on the group buy. The rest of the parts needed for this rifle I knew nothing about. I learned that LRRPF52 was close to my home so I made contact with him and ask him if he would help me on this. He advised me on the parts to buy and agreed to assemble the rifle. The short time I've known LRRPF52 I can honestly say he is one of the most knowledgeable individuals on the AR platform. The quality of his work and his attention to detail is nothing but first class. The proof can be seen in pictures he posted. By the way he also knows how to shoot. I watched him shoot that first group (picture #1) in a 10-15mph wind all shots in less than 4 seconds. Thanks LRRPF52 for a job well done.
