  • Hello from Washington

    Just wanted to drop in and say hi, and thanks for the forum! I have been kicking the Grendel idea around for some time, now with Alex dropping the registration, I'm in! My first plan is to rebarrel my 20"
    DMR from a 5.56, to a Grendel, not sure if I'm going to go with a 18" or 20"'yet, but isn't that half the fun? Thanks again!

        North Central Washington, just north of Chelan, in the
        Columbia River where the Methow River connects, in a little town called Pateros

          I know Pateros well. Used to spend a couple days a week up in that area in the late 80's, early 90's.

          One of my favorite areas of the state!

            Wow, most people say where the heck is that? So what brought you here? Where are you from?

              Moses Lake. I used to own an insurance agency that specialized in Health, Life, and Retirement planning for farmers and orchardists. My territory was from I-90 to the Canadian border, and from Spokane to the Cascades.

              I spent a lot of time in the Waterville/Mansfield/Brewster/Pateros/Omak/Tonasket area.

              Lots of Grendel owners in Washington.

                  Well I don't have the Grendel built yet, I have always wanted one but never got on board, now then I'm in! I'm going to rebarrel my DMR from a 556 to a 6.3, figured it's a good base as it has all the right stuff except a barrel. I need to get a 20" stainless barrel though, and Im not sure who's?

                    Dang, I know those towns well, that's the advantage of being a small town raised kid, from the "B" leagues. Do you still reside here in Washington?

                      Yep, still in Moses Lake. Too bad you missed our "Meet and Shoot" with Bill Alexander a couple weeks ago!
