Hey, everyone. Not new to shooting, but new to gas guns. Never much liked them. But the kid likes them, and it's a good activity for bonding. So I've built my first (3) gas guns, and they're all Grendels. Warning: I'm a huge JP fanboy. Also, I have everything purchased, almost nothing yet in hand 
Gun #1 - JP SCI Chassis. Wanted a semi-monolithic set, so I built my first on this platform. Put a 16" Custom Krieger, with a rifle length gas system, JP adjustable gas block, Magpul PRS Gen 3 stock, Trijicon VCOG 1-8x. I opted for a long handguard, and a Hera linear comp, as a place holder for the suppressor, when it's not in use.
Gun #2 - JP PSC-11 billet upper, JP CTR-02 billet lower, Proof Research 18" barrel, Seekins Precision Switchblock adjustable gas block. No stock or optic yet chosen. This will be mainly run suppressed. I think I'm gonna go with a more traditional optic on this. No electronics, just glass. Stock... no idea. I'll know it when it finds me.
Gun #3 - total break from previous convention. Cross Machine and Tool UPUR-3A dual charge billet upper, with a Young Manufacturing right side charging bolt carrier. Still trying to procure the barrel for this one. Going with a 12.5" length medium/heavy profile, with mid-length gas system. I think I'm going to use an adjustable gas key, in this one. Using a Maxim Defense CQB with the JP silent capture spring. Will most likely put an Aimpoint PRO on this one. Just a nice shorty for stuff that likes to run.
Also just purchase a Thunder Beast Arms Ultra 7 6.5, which of course, will be in jail until it's eligible for parole, god knows when.
We have been commissioned to cull feral hogs. The plan is for one of us to be shooting prone from under the truck, with the other shooting off of a tripod out of the bed of the truck. No sweeping one another, but lots of chances to pick up the runners.
Eventually, I plan to add a clip-on thermal. But until I get some hardware in hand, I'm just gonna chill out.
I've been in love with anything 6 or 6.5mm since I started shooting. Formerly, I built 1000 yard bolt guns. (mostly hunter bench rest class) Before I discovered the Grendel, I never looked twice at an AR. Literally, this is the only caliber that I'd ever want in a small AR platform. So, here's to new adventures.
