I didn't have time to hang around and drool (had to go to work--- BOOOO!), but I did rip the box open and toss the barrel on the scale before departing.
20.65 ounces.
I didn't get to do any kind of detailed examination, but what little bit I saw in "drive-by" mode looked gorgeous.

And I'm sure it'll shoot lights out cause its a Lilja but I'm curious to see how much more kick this little horse will have than your 'normal' Grendel build.
My only recoil nemesis is with handguns. Years ago I had a stripped down and non-ported 4.75" Freedom Arms 454 Casull. That thing was intense with full house loads. I tried to "man up" and get used to the recoil by burning up a fortune in ammo, but it ended up giving me a flinch instead. I still have a little once in a while. Rifles are unaffected though

Haha! Neener Neener! J/K!
I sent a barrel and an aac flashhider to a gunsmith to pin and cerakote the barrel a while back. A little miscommunication and he cerakoted the FH too. He said he liked to never have gotten enough material off of the FH to be able to cerakote it. I really wish he hadn't tried. I prefer that my ARs not be a solid color.

Originally posted by cory View PostI'd advise against cerakoting the barrel. Whoever does it will have to bead blast the out layer of the barrel of to get the cerakote to stick properly. It won't be the inside, so your barrel's life should be the same. However, you'll lose the corrosive resistant properties of the nitrite on the outside of your barrel.

Or find a applicator locally but I'm sure you'll still need to have forms filled out, atf F@&$!12.5" SBR Grendel - Need Barrel

Been a fan of the Grendel from the very beginning and haven't second guessed that choice one time.

I (admittedly) don't know anything about cerakoting, but I would have thought the current surface would have had enough "tooth" being as it's already bead blasted. I know it'd need a very thorough degreasing at least."Those who sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither." Benjamin Franklin
