6.5 Grendel

[dennishoddy]

Bang for the buck this guy sells great barrels, bolts, and other parts. He's an old time wild cat builder/designer. Most of his barrels are Melonite/Nitride hardened inside and out. He designed a much better bolt for the grendel and can help you scratch the itch

I am in no way affiliated with his company beyond having bought more than 20 barrels from him and a large stash of bolts.

Nice link!

Well, I got Goldilocks together this weekend and shot it. I haven't shot it for accuracy yet (still mulling over which scope to use), but did fire a few boxes of ammo through it to check for function. Works great, zero malfunctions. I probably shouldn't have let my wife shoot it though, she is trying to stake her claim on it now.

I wanted a good "all around" rifle and I'm pretty happy with the results. It's built from a Colt Competition rifle that has been cerakoted Burnt Bronze. The barrel is Faxon - Button rifled, hybrid 5R 1:8 rifling, "bull" chamber, black nitrided (bolt and barrel matching type 2 from 6.5 Grendel forum group buy). The handguard is Parallax Tactical Super slim, lightweight M-Lok, also cerakoted Burnt Bronze. Trigger is a blue drop-in unit.

Now I need optics.

Thanks! I had every intention of going to Pryor today to visit my mother and drop by your store, but I had other things come up. Maybe tomorrow.

Where is the can?

Nice. What muzzle device is that?

Where is the can?

Dude, you read my mind! I was just discussing a likely "Christmas present" with my wife.

Nice. What muzzle device is that?

A cheap, generic birdcage that I'm basically just using as a temporary thread protector. I think that I'm going to go with a VG6 Epsilon, at least until I can get a can.

You better hurry and be very very good or you may get a January Christmas unless you buy from a good friend that chaperones your Christmas party.

Cool. I was going to say I've seen bird cages hurt group sizes by over 1" at times but it wont matter if its temporary.
