My Grendel FrankenGun

[Old Bob]

I built this rifle two years ago but only shot it once. Some medical problems delayed any more shootin' for awhile. Now I'm ready to start up again.

My parts....

Barrel: 20" Odin with a standard low-profile steel Gas Block & rifle length Gas Tube... both new parts but of unknown origin
Muzzle Brake: Wilson Combat Q-Comp
Upper: CMT Side Charger & Bolt Carrier
Lower: Spikes Tactical with lower parts I had on hand from various sources
Bolt: AA .136" head space checked (barrel came with an Odin bolt)
Trigger: Giessele 2-Stage
Hand Guard: Mid West Industries
Stock: Magpul with a David Tubb flat profile Buffer Spring
Grip: BCM
Scope: Vortex 4x16

I only shot this rifle once with Hornady 123 grain SST & 123 ELD-M factory ammo. Got groups right at an inch with the SSTs & ELDs. I think this gun is gonna be a shooter. I'm anxious to get started working up some loads.

Good for you, glad your medicine issues are behind you.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Nice set up. In for the range report.

Those Odin's are supposed to shoot nice, my 16" does and yours is a good looking rifle.

Thanks CJW, shooter545 & Lastrites...

Found receipts for this build. The gas block & tube were Brownells branded parts. I don't know who makes these parts for them. AH HA... another discovery! I found 4 boxes of Hornady 123 grain AMAX ammo in a cabinet in my work room. I'd completely forgotten I bought them 2 years ago. Can't get 123 AMAX ammo anymore...
