Bigger AR type rifle

[JohnVH]

HAHAHA, Im new, but not that new!

There seems to be a batch of mismade chambers for ar-15's floating around from various makers. I'm wondering if they all made a big increase in production and let standards fall?

[JohnVH]

not sure, I cant speak for the standard AR15 with this being a 6.5 G, I have never fired an AR15 yet.

[JohnVH]

Alexader Arms got it today, they looked it over, the 'shop' I got it from had the wrong bolt in it, so after some calling and butt chewing, Ill have a working upper, after AA fires it next week then ships it back to me.  What  PITA! 

[wraithen]

That is a garbage thing to happen! I hope you are the first and only that has to deal with that! I thought AR-15 implied the overall design, and has nothing to do with cartridge. Am I misinformed?

You are not misinformed.

6.8 spc and several short magnums or supershort magnums.

.450 bushmaster and .458 socom.

The 6.5 Grendel walks all over the above mentioned out to 600 yards, when it comes to taking game and proven accuracy and it's a conversion that only needs a bolt, barrel and magazine.

Nice ARs.

I've been won me over on the 6.5 G versus 6.8 SPC, all around.  But for close-in brush hunting for larger game where long shots are less than 100 yards, comparing the 6.5 to the big bore ARs is comparing apples and oranges. 

Any recommendations on 6.5 G loads for a 16" barrel?

[JohnVH]

how big of game we talking? Bigger than a buffalo?

OK, Got it back and together! LOVE IT, HUGE HUGE thank you to Bill Alexander / Alexander Arms!  Ran like a champ, put 1.5 boxes of fun through it, sighted in, playing with the different ammo, and just getting feel of it, never had or shot an AR before so its all new to me.  Hornady box Amax 123gr was best group at under 1" at 100. Look forward to reloading and seeing if I can tighten them up some more, hopefully.  Bone stock AR lower, I can tell this thing is LOUD, other people at the range were impressed with its shooting and they seemed to have heard of a Grendel but never seen one yet.

Cant wait to take some game with it, and get a turrett scope on it!







Factory 123Gr hornady 100yds


5 shot group of some reloads the seller of the upper sent me 100yds

Glad you got it back and its running good When you think about upgrades I would change that stock out in a heartbeat. That and a trigger kit is the 2 best things you could do later on

[JohnVH]

yeah, the trigger sucks, and Id like a better stock too, soon.

[carpsniperg2]

I just put in a spikes enhanced lower parts kit in the one I built a few days ago. It is a nice kit and I also like the kns pins. The Nickel boron trigger and sear and hammer are slick and feel nice Spendy kit at 150.00 but well worth it. If you bought all the stuff seperate it would be about 200.00. Also has a nice trigger gaurd in the kit. I am trying to decide if i want another one of them or the rra 2 stage in the other one I will be working up.

[JohnVH]

I dont know about the 2 stage triggers, Id prefer a smooth simple one i think.

[carpsniperg2]

Yeah that spikes is a single stage and nice. The 2 stages are fine once you get use to them. I don't like them on guns that I am using for like yote hunting because with gloves on it hard to feel them come down to the last stage before the shot breaks. In a deer hunting rifle or something like that they are nice and can really improve accuracy.

I luv my AR Gold trigger... it is so smooth
