1. Assuming I should go with an adjustable gas block even though I will not be shooting suppressed in the immediate future. If so, whats best for the Grendel these days?
2. Looking for a light-weight, free-float rail system. Got to clear a .850 gas bock OD so keep that in mind. Any suggestions?
3. Should I consider any type of recoil tuning stuff such as JP SCS & VMOS bolt carrier? If maybe just upgrade my recoil spring?
1.). The 20” 6.5 Grendel with rifle length gas system is about optimum for the 6.5 Grendel and don’t normally require an adjustable gas block unless using a suppressor. I put a JP adjustable gas block on my 20” Shilen and have never touched the AGB since the first time I set it. I’ve shot 85 grain to 123 grain 6.5 Grendel ammunition and has been gtg.
2.). I used an ALG defense EMR V-0 and it is pretty light. There are so many hand guards on the market it is bewildering. Odin sell a lot of package deals, barrel, bcg, gas block and hand guard. Odin gets good reviews
3.) If you decide to use an adjustable gas block I think JP are gtg but there are so many on the market I can’t keep track of the current best. If you do use an AGB you can adjust the gas to work with any spring and buffer combination.
Personally I have never used the SCS. With a 20” 6.5 Grendel a carbine buffer tube, carbine spring and buffer or rifle length tube, spring and rifle buffer should be gtg.
