mini14 SCAR 18" 6.5 grendel

[thinder]

I never followed up! well long story short. It was a bitch. Lots of work. Everything was trial and error but here is the finished product.



i started with a 6.8 mini so I could put a taper on the nose of the bolt and open the boltface on my own and not have to accept ruger's tolerance. Barrel is a douglas. I bought the gas block from ASI and had some gas bushings made. I run a .040" bushing and with the suppressor it slings brass pretty good, but un suppressed it drops the brass about a foot away. I use promag 6.8 mags and they have a little trouble when fully loaded. Im still chasing that problem.
