What exactly makes a lower a pistol lower??? I've got a few extras laying around. How would I go about getting those registered as a pistol lower.

But I agree with Stanc...I'm surprised no one has selected the Grendel. 95 grain V-Max (sd = .195) versus 55 grain V-Max (sd = .157). What is the mv from 10.5" Grendel barrel with 95 grain V-Max?
Well I guess I'm no one. HAHA

If I need to go outside the house I'd rather have my 5.56 with Nosler 64gr Bonded Performance. I live in a subdivison.
Hostage situation I'd prefer the 5.56 load mentioned above.
Now if I lived in cartel country or didn't have nearby neighbors and the ones I had were spread out, I'd probably develop a load for 16" or shorter grendel with the Hornady 140gr HPBT. At 2200 fps it's sonic to 1010 yards. (wow I wasn't expecting that when I looked it up.) I wish Nosler would make a 6.5mm bonded performance round, one of my most accurate rounds in my 5.56.
On a side note: I believe I'll picking some 140gr BTHP projectiles up to see how it shoots in my 24" PF Grendel.
Well I kind of picked it, just not in my current living situation. In my ideal living situation it'd be my first choice once I stepped outside.
