I live on a dairy farm and we have a serious coyote problem. The first AR I built in 5.56 is accurate enough but the ballistics over 500 yds leaves something to be desired. I look forward to building this new rifle over the next few months and then bagging some more pests.
Hi Joverman from Raleigh.
I shoot at the Durham Pistol and Rifle Club in Mebane. If you want to meet up there sometime and try out a Grendel, let me know and we'll set it up.
If you still want to shoot 5.56 and save some $$$ you can get a Fast Rail from Templar Consulting. You can put their barrel nut on your 5.56 barrel and get a Grendel barrel and bolt from him and and shoot both calibers from the same rifle. Swapping barrels takes about 2 minutes. It take a few more minutes to swap out the bolt.
