First Grendel build, still waiting on an Alexander Arms 16" Lite Barrel & bolt. I'm going to match the color of the hand guard, on the grip and butt stock. looks like it will come in around 7lbs, if the weight of the barrel is correct, minus the mag and optic of course.

I like it! My first AR was a dpms sweet 16 with the heavy match barrel. I fell I love with those A2 buttstock's simple and very effective. And good looking if you ask me.
Love those alg rails too!
Good looking grip to, who makes it?
I like the ALG hand guard but their colors are strange, this one is advertised as Gray, so I thought matching the color to use on the stock and grip wouldn't be a problem. Well I work at a Home Depot paint department and tried color matching, but no go, four different attempts not even close. It's kinda bronze gray in color and has a little metallic sheen to it, and our spectro just cant get it right.
So know I'll have to come up with plan B.
It is gray but it's certainly a unique one. My spikes receivers on the 22 Nosler above are factory Cerakoted Combat Gray. I went with ALG in gray to see how it would look figuring I could have it Cerakoted combat gray if I didn't like it. I like it and for whatever reason I seem to get more casual "what are you shooting today, 223?" than normal at the range. The non 223 answer is a great conversation starter. It does stand out. I really like the ALG barrel nut and handguard attachment - definitely contributes to the accuracy I getting on that build.
I would give ALG a call / email and see if they can point you in a direction to go with matching the color.
