When you say "do not like" what do you mean? Bad accuracy, bad cycling, or something else?
My build list is almost done. I bought the lower today. The local shop didn't have anything I liked except a forged anderson lower. Luckily it's well reviewed and the matching upper will be cheap if I can ever find it in stock. Probably going with slick sided upper probably with dust cover (can get with no dust cover too).
Looking at smoke composites stock. Can't help myself it's so light weight and sexy. Figure 9.5" stock ok for a 5'8" person? Alternative length is 11"
Getting carbine buffer and spring and going to try that first, then I'll try it with more and more of the buffer weight replaced by wood dowels. I read competition shooters do it when using adjustable gas and a low mass carrier like I'm going with. I think they use rifle length stocks and rifle buffers and springs though (no weights or about 1 ounce total in the rifle buffers).
BTW the OAL for Grendel II can be longer right? If so that's better for reloading because you can make the OAL longer and put more powder in?
