First post, finally made the jump and bought a Grendel upper--closeout LH complete 18" from Stag Arms, minus BCG. Have 4 rounds through it (breaking in/cleaning in the dang cold, yeah I know I know...) and I'm hooked.
Have looked at this forum for a year until I jumped in, have been intrigued by this little cartridge for a few years now. Previously have only hunted deer in ag fields in NE Arkansas using flat shooting bolts, primary being 270 Win and 257 Weatherby. Well finally moved home to NW Arkansas God's country and bought 70 acres out in the mountains and now doing only woods/mountain hunting. My 270 works fine but have been carrying my AR 5.56 hiking the hills due to weight and wanted something more substantial than the 62 grain Fusions to anchor better. (Still haven't shot a deer with a 223/5.56, just don't want to track one far.)
So here I am, 4 rounds in and soaking up every piece of info I can and I'm a believer. Y'all have a great site here with a wealth of information.
Only question I do have for anyone out there is regarding LH parts availability, vendors that offer LH specific products, etc. pertaining specifically to lefty AR-15 platform in 6.5 Grendel. I had to find a left hand BCG and it was a little difficult. Ended up buying one for $140 from Pro2A in Georgia. Fit/finish looks decent and their customer service was great as a small business. Pretty impressed with Precision Firearms offerings after looking at their website--anyone know if they chamber barrels in lefty config?
Have a good night all!
