The Grendel Is Alive - TwitchInForest - 10-30-2018
Just finished my first-ever AR-15 build. I built on a Sharp's Bros Hellbreaker Gen II lower. The upper is a DTT Customs "Javelin" - Aero Precision upper, 18" HBAR stainless barrel with a 1:8 twist, 15" Trinity Force keymod handguard, Magpul PRS Gen III stock, and a Vortex Strike Eagle scope. Not pictured is the Atlas bipod that was added last night.
I haven't shot it yet. Hopefully this weekend. I want to bore-sight the scope first, and give it a good lube-job.
Let me know what you think.

Very nice this post not complete without range report.

Thanks!! I'm pretty darn happy with it.

Agreed! Saturday will be the day, most likely. I'm not sure if this happens to everyone, but since this is my first build, there is a part of me that will be hoping everything is correct as I start to pull the trigger. ;-)
It passed all the function checks. I'm waiting on some dummy rounds to arrive so I can test it with some actual (inert) ammo. I'd rather be aware of a problem before I put live rounds through it and risk having it blow-up in my face.
I'll let you guys know how it shoots. I have 160 rounds of Hornady Black 123 gr. just itching go downrange.

I know the feeling. I've built a Grendel as my 2nd AR and it's been done for a month. Still haven't shot it! I'll be doing so soon enough. Deer season is here! Good luck
