Mmmmm..... Swiss Cheese. Makes me think of a Rueben. Which makes me think of Rubin & Cherise on an absolutely perfect Colorado afternoon. Perfect name for this build. He will be Rubin to start and become Cherise when I swap and put a tactical optic on it. Or should it be Cherise and Ruby Claire? [please let there be one person out there who gets that!]
With all the Faxon Heads in the horde, how come no one ever brought up the Faxon Streamlight Carbon Fiber? Just ordered the 15" from Brownells. 8 oz including barrel nut (upgradable to Ti nut to save 1/2 oz). Slightly lighter than the 13.5" Lithium Aluminum V Seven, big enough to not have to worry about a 0.936 gas block fitting underneath but not overly wide. Flat where the M-lok slots are so no worries about trying to stabilize a round tube on a barrier. Not cheap but not really more than other options out there. And Brownells has $50 off $400 today so I added an LPK and V Seven Charging Handle so done deal. And since its Brownells, if the handguard doesn't work for whatever reason, back she goes.
fixin, I can't see why their Grendel would shoot any different than their 223s. Except for maybe a little less CF dampening due to the bigger bang and slightly lighter contour
But this is a Grendel forum. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. I'll circle back when Rubin's done for closure and a BSF report.
Let's go Brandon!
