BANG BANG!!

So the uppers came in FDE?

[Slappy]

Yes they have uppers now in FDE from Aero or I should say they did have? On a side note I bought two of their Melonite gas tubes and these were the easiest gas tubes I have ever worked with they went in and stayed in the gas block and did not turn nor spin which made it easy to pin them in the gas blocks. BANG BANG!!

Fortune has smiled upon you, Slappy. Are you gifting one or two of these or are you preparing for life after the election?

This is the lightest rifle I have ever picked up. If no rain/storms in the AM at the range we go!! BANG BANG!!

The barrel is the Faxon group buy barrel? POW! POW!

[Slappy]

Yes sir. FAXON group buy. I changed a couple things on this one. Mil spec trigger and guard, and regular buffer and spring, and mod 3 charging handle and no plastic door on this one either. Oh ya I like the ease of the O2 :ite hand guard I put one on here too. BANG BANG!!

[Kilco]

I am seething with jeleousy

[ATTACH=CONFIG]8137[/ATTACH]#2 mine!!! FAXON barrel group buy! Bang bang!!

Go/no go Guages ran through and all checked out there. Jacked a round or two into it and all looked and worked great. The gas block the best I could tell with my bad eyes and a micrometer is that gas block at least the Titanium one I put on both rifle ran up against the ridge, now let us hope I got the up and down corectly????. One thing I did or in this case did not notice is operating the charging handle and moving the BCG is that there were no wear marks inside the feed ramps or anywhere in fact less than usual. Things went together very well the fit was tight and everything lined up perfectly. My hands and eye are not 25 yr old anymore so I do what I can and take a bit more time these days getting something done. Was surprised how well everything went together. Range in the AM so I will take some pictures of the target if things operate well. BANG BANG!!!!!!!!

[Redomen]

Very nice!

[jim_bob]

Nice builds Slappy! Looking forward to some groups.

[Texas]

Wow, 3 New Grendel
You are fortunate

[Slappy]

WE are on stand-by due to rain delay!!! BANG BANG!!

[BluntForceTrauma]

Slappy you don't waste no time!

I would have liked to see how the gas tube looks in relation to the "bull chamber" section, without the handguard. If you think of it on the next build, maybe take a picture of it?

[Slappy]

According to the meter and my abilities it was right up against it, and in checking everything else out like the placement into the upper and into the key it all lined up and seems to be in place. Those O2 Lite hand-guards are very easy to take off and I do have just one set of those plastic pins and out of that set only one fits into the the gas hole in the rifle so I tried it without using them. I am fairly confident I have teh front back in line I do not know about the left right if that makes any sense. Its killin me that they are just sitting here and it is pouring rain at the range. Now I have to wait till Wednesday when the range opens again to go. So I have 2 more days of waiting to find out. I have my fingers crossed. If someone come up with something different please post it so I/we can see what is what?? BANG BANG!!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]8140[/ATTACH]Range Report. Could not stand it so jetted over there and shot in between rain storms. FDE rifle cycles and shoots great, black one shoots great but does not cycle. The FDE has a JP Scapture Spring in it and is a heck of a lot smoother. The black one regular buffer and spring and it is a clangy noisy thing compared to the JPSCS. I will take the black gas block down and pin it with the positioning plastic pins and call it good and put a JPSCS in that one also and the problem should and will be solved. Now mind you in a hurry with a 4x16x44 non expensive scope firing as fast as I can between down pours. These little rifles are very accurate and will get better when I get some more rounds down the tubes. SO,,,,,,,,, Bottom left of the bullseye is the FDE one fully functional at 100 yards. Bottom right of the page is the black one single shooten it at 50. Tried to adjust the block but no difference and I should have put the JPSCS in the black one but was in a hurry and thankful that everything worked great and I did not blow my self up!!! Lined the black one up just like I did the FDE so I am thinking it is the buffer and regular spring but will use the pin in it and like I said put a JPSCS in that one also. Those are just way way so much smoother and do not bang the shoulder so much. BANG BANG!!

Already realigned the GB and it went back to where I had it so it is good to go with the addition of the JPSCS system to it. Makes a heck of a difference.
