Here's a couple of Grendel builds I put together and some shout outs on some of the parts.
The first one is a 20" SS HBAR, 1:8 twist with SS comp. The upper came from AR15Part.com and I'm amazed by it. Got 0.45" group at 100 yards with 123 gr Hornady A-Max factory. The scope has changed to a Vortex Crossfire II, 6-18x44 riflescope. The lower is a RRA receiver with a Timney 3 lb trigger, Magpul ACS-L stock, and Hogue Overmolded grip.
The second one is a 16" SS HBAR with flame fluting and a YHM flash hider. The barrel came from Deadshotbarrels.com, made custom. So far, it's been pretty impressive, but I haven't had a chance to put it through its paces yet. It's also built on a RRA lower with a Hogue grip, RRA two stage competition trigger, RRA Operator CAR stock, and YHM diamond free float handguard.
So far, I couldn't be more impressed with these weapons. I'm getting started reloading some Sierra MK and Hornady A-Max to see what I can dial these two into. I'm looking to get 1000 yard performance out of the 20" barrel, which should be achievable even with the Hornady factory loads.
