    Hey man the PF BCG will come with the maxim bolt assembled with the PF extractors.

    Great looking build list! If you have the budget the Vortex 1-6x is a great choice. A little heavy, but it's an excellent optic and has a red dot that's awesome for quick acquisition.

    I've got a SLR 10" Solo Series Keymod Handguard for a near future 5.56 SBR build. I'm extremely impressed with how light and solid it feels.

      I just bought the bolt carrier for now.... How is the glass in the razer II? I've had Nightforce and US Optics and down to Nikon Buckmaster .

        I think it's a little better than the NXS.

            I'm gonna probably use a Jp scs if not then it'll be a Jp tubbs spring and a spikes T2. Plus a adjustable gas block to fine tune it with the silencer attached.

              Nice list. I think you will be very happy with that barrel length. I am with mine. I finally got to shoot mine at distance this past weekend and was knocking down Larues out to 500. Great balance between size and ballistic performance.

                    Well the barrels are probably almost done, then it's off to PF for sandblasting and nitriding!

                    Still need to get a FF Rail, Bolt and finalize what can I want for sure

                      Looks like a great build. I'm sure your as excited as I was! I thought I would pop when I got my barrel. These barrels should be awesome! I think the SBR grendel will take off now.

                        For sure! People start seeing reports of what the sbr'd Grendel will do especially on game. Everyone will want one, lol! It'd be nice to have a steady supply of wolf steel case, Wolf gold and the PPU Grendel ammo. After I get done with my build I need to start putting together equipment to reload.

                          I heard that! For a 12" barrel the performance is really unbelievable to me. Reloading is the way to go for me, I have enough bullets in different weights and powder to last me at least a year maybe more. But I'm always on the look out for good deals on both.

                            Order'd my rail went with the SLR Rifleworks Solo Lite M-Lok at the price I got it I couldn't go with the KMR. Plus KMR was out of stock. I want to paint the upper, lower and rail FDE and the other parts black. But I think I'll have to wait and do that after Im all done.
