Well, I hope you enjoy your .223 BSF!! My grendel BSF is due to arrive sometime tomorrow. I am quite excited for it considering the mysteriousness and lack of reviews they have. I know from doing my own research the .223 barrels are gaining quite the followingto procrastinate... tomorrow!!

With all the Faxon Heads in the horde, how come no one ever brought up the Faxon Streamlight Carbon Fiber? Just ordered the 15" from Brownells. 8 oz including barrel nut (upgradable to Ti nut to save 1/2 oz). Slightly lighter than the 13.5" Lithium Aluminum V Seven, big enough to not have to worry about a 0.936 gas block fitting underneath but not overly wide. Flat where the M-lok slots are so no worries about trying to stabilize a round tube on a barrier. Not cheap but not really more than other options out there. And Brownells has $50 off $400 today so I added an LPK and V Seven Charging Handle so done deal. And since its Brownells, if the handguard doesn't work for whatever reason, back she goes.
fixin, I can't see why their Grendel would shoot any different than their 223s. Except for maybe a little less CF dampening due to the bigger bang and slightly lighter contour
But this is a Grendel forum. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. I'll circle back when Rubin's done for closure and a BSF report.Let's go Brandon!

The thing your going to like the most is how well it will likely shoot factory ammo. And how well it will shoot the "off node" charges when you do load development. You may get shotgun groups from those, but it will be like it is through a really tight choke. I don't think OBT is the be all and end all, but it is a factor and CF goes a long way towards significantly mitigating the impact of vibration on accuracy (as well as mitigating barrel whip). I admit that I didn't understand their design when they first came out, but it now it obviously makes sense to me. I'm not expecting it to cool like a Proof, but it won't run into the problems there are with Christenson's CF acting as an insulator and keeping the heat in.Let's go Brandon!

i just purchased the 2a upper and lower set. and a titanium muzzle device. wow, they are costly!!! but i want a very lightweight 12" grendel pistol. i will try both a
x-caliber barrel and a mcgowan barrel and choose the one that shoots the best and the lightest. hope they are both the same. lol i also have a sb3a on order.
should be one lightweight shooter.

But if the X-caliber and McGowen shoot the same, you're going to have to try a BHW to see if it's better!
Randy, I like to watch my impacts - and with a dialed in 223 with a good compensator, it is "watching", not "seeing"Let's go Brandon!

x-caliber and mcgowan are local companies. so is proof, fulkor, and several other manufacturers are all located in the flathead valley of montana. we have a few inside sources that are helpful in getting quality parts. i will get my shorty with the balios 2 receivers and x-caliber barrel assembled and tested this week.
