Well, I decided to sell one of my Grendels. It was a tough decision, but I sold the one that has the stainless steel barrel from BCA. It hurt to let it go, especially since it was my best shooter, but it leaves me with the challenge to work with my upper with the Monster barrel to shoot consistent sub MOA. I also decided to try to build other Grendel uppers and sell them once I get them accurized, broken-in and shooting really well. I figure it can be a win-win. I like building and tinkering with things, I enjoy shooting the Grendel, and I like the challenge of getting them to shoot really well. I can find good deals, put together nice Grendel uppers, I can go through the trouble of breaking them in (which is expensive when you add up the ammo costs) and fine tuning them, and then I can sell them to those who just want a great shooting Grendel at an affordable price. We'll see how that goes, but that's the plan for now.
I built another Grendel with 20" Nitride fluted barrel (pic to come soon). I'm putting it through the process and it is coming along fine. Had some sub MOA groups, but still need to do some more work to get consistently tight groups.
With my stainless steel BCA upper gone, I put more rounds through my upper with the Monster barrel. It is shooting pretty consistent now, although not yet shooting as tight of groups as my other, but I think I can get it there.
I shot the 0.6 group first and was in a bit of a rush on the other groups. I was just seeing if I could consistently hit close to bullseye on my 4" targets at 100 yards. I was successful with that. Next time I go out, I'll work on tightening up the groups. But, honestly, my goal isn't to shoot tiny groups at 100 yards, but to hit exactly where I am aiming at various distances. But I do like to "prove" the equipment (and my abilities with it) first, then take it out to longer distances.
But back to the comparison of the Monster group barrel to the BCA barrel - as of now, the BCA barrel is the winner from my very small sample group with multiple variables involved. But I'm not counting the Monster barrel out just yet. We'll see!
