    I hoped it was going to be perfect but planned to cut it if needed..... no cutting needed so assembly will commence right away! LOL

      It is a crying shame the longer barrel buys don't gain steam.
      I thought the Grendel needs a longer barrel to achieve it's full potential (velocity)? If I build a pistol I don't think it will be a Grendel but a pistol cartridge like the 300 Blackout.

        Longer barrels will lead to higher velocities but with the 129gr ABLR, the 12 inch barrel will still reach out to 500+

          6.5 Grendel is the SBR cartridge to beat. Nothing else compares well with it.

          Suppresses well
          Remains supersonic longer than any other factory chambered AR15 out there by a long shot
          Has Wolf steel case support
          Has the longest effective hunting reach of any other AR15 cartridge
          Has more energy at 400yds than a 20" .30-30 with 150gr RN at 400yds
          NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

            Technically speaking, that can be said of most any cartridge.

            All SBRs give up velocity, true, but sleek 6.5mm bullets help retain it. (Not that most get an SBR thinking long-range, but it's the correct concept for a military application, for example, with a compact weapon facing variable engagement distances.)

                Looking at that info told me that 12.5" was the short barrel sweet spot

                    Thanks BFT for all your hard work.. Got mine today too down in Texas. Will put it together tonight.

                    Same question as him. I bought a bolt too a while back.

                      Yeah I even bought a PSA CHF 300BO barrel and sent it back and got two of these. Grendel will put the little 300 bo to shame!

                          Wasting no time! Some kind of prize needed!

                          Any of you guys get chrono data, it'd be greatly appreciated to average it out over several barrels to add to the knowledge of The Horde.

                            Barrel is beautiful, every different type of factory round I have drops out like they should. Time to order more parts and steel case ammo.

                            Thanks John, it arrived in perfect condition.

                                Can these barrels be attached to pistol lowers with no special permission from the authorities?
