Here's my first Grendel build
20170507_105828_HDR-1328x747.jpg20170507_105355_HDR-1328x747.jpg20170507_105503_HDR-1328x747.jpg
And the parts list:
Upper, lower, trigger guard, scope mount and handguard are cerakoted in midnight burnt bronze. Los Angeles cerakote did an amazing job. The only "gun smithing" I had to do to put the build together was run a .156" reamer through the trigger pin holes in the lower. All other interfaces went together, no problem.
Rifle weighs just a hair under 10 pounds with scope, without bipod and without a mag.
Muzzle velocities with factory hornady ELD-M at 56 degree F were between 2470 and 2510 FPS for the first 130 shots through this 20" odin works barrel.
Shoots awesome with E-Lander 10 round mags and hornady ELD Match. I think the 100 yard groups are about 1 MOA. Next time I get out to the range I'll dial in zero to perfection and shoot some groups. After zeroing, (as much as I could see through my scope and in the rain) I calculated for a 610 yard shot with strelok pro and hit 15" steel first shot! It was giggly fun plinking 15"round steel at 610 yards (doped 16.75MOA)! I think it it has less recoil than my carbine 16" 5.56 AR.
All in all, super happy with my second AR build ever.
