6.5 Grendel build inspired by the military SPR Mk12
#65
Six dark covid months have passed since I last posted. I'm fully vaccinated now and back at my RO duties at our local rifle range.....HOORAY!

During that "down time" I reworked my rifle and shaved a full pound off of it down to 8 pounds 13 ounces. Almost half of that (6 ounces) came from replacing the Magpul rifle stock with a carbine stock. I tried the lightest Magpul and a new one by Thril:

They both weighed exactly the same so I decided to try the new Thril shown on the bottom:

I started out with these components for the buffer tube:

The Timber Creek buffer tube was a mess. It was full of FDE overspray. After that crud was cleaned out look at the inside surface finish of the thing:
