Yes, I do the Cerakoting all myself. I start by stripping the parts bone dry, and spray them individually in a paint booth on hooks, then transfer them to an oven for curing at higher temps. It's pretty tedious, especially as you don't often get a solid coat the first go-around, even though it looks like you do, so you have to touch up areas and re-bake them to get 100% coverage...which get's real fun when doing patterns.
I have only about 50% of the projectiles available for the Grendel, if you can believe it. There's a complete thread on it in the reloading section, called "Updated Grendel Projectile List". You can see what I have and don't have on a spreadhseet put together by Rickoshay. Several forum members have been very helpful by sending me projectiles they may happen to have-just 1x samples is all I need for the photo.
The handguard on the 16" is an Apex Machine 12" free-float rail, which has integral QD sling swivel sockets already built into it, and an aggresive checkering machined into the handguard surface, as you can see.
I'm also really diggin the lightweight MI 12" Lo-Pro handguard, seen on the all-FDE carbine.
Two of the grips are the new Magpul MOE+, rubber-coated MOE grips, and they feel great.
