Grendel build
Posted: October 10th, 2017, 11:24 am
The goal for this build was a sub-7# low recoil, rust proof deer rig. My wife has that acidic sweat and never wipes guns down after using them. Tired of scrubbing rust, I decided to build one she couldn't ruin. 6.5 Grendel ballistics match well with the old .250 Savage. I hear that one works well on deer at the ranges she shoots. Total cost was slightly less than a Howa Mini sent out for nitriding. And as little as she shoots, I don't expect to ever even have to clean it!
Build list:
New Frontier polymer lower with MFT Minimalist stock (triggers aren't bad and safety is reversible, btw)
MFT pistol grip
Mil. spec. charging handle
Mil. spec. Forward assist
Toolcraft BCG with Grendel forum Monster bolt
Faxon light contour nitrided barrel 20"
Faxon nitride gas block and tube
ebay thread protector
Smoke Composites barrel nut
carbon fiber tube handguard
Aero Precision scope mount
Old heavy scope she likes for some reason
It did OK with Hornady factory 123gr SST loads.
