Bigger AR type rifle

ahh yeah, I can see where that would be weird for you.

Im looking seriously at an Alexander Arms grendel upper 16" More than I wanted to spend really, but feedback is great.

[JohnVH]

AA is 2+ months out on uppers and barrels 

searching other options now...

Looks like Ill probably purchase the J&T 16" upper assy with the heavier barrel. Internet search is great feedback, accurate.

Very Nice!

Thanks! I should see the upper tomorrow, not sure when the lower build parts or mag and ammo will arrive, either way, by next weekend we should be sighting it in hopefully. I just have to figure out how to build a lower now.

Brownels has a nice step by step video series that is very helpful you might want to checkout. Its free on there site. Youtube also will have some stuff.

Thank you guys!

[Biggerhammer]

Thank you guys!

Great score!  To start off, get yourself some Factory Hornady 123gr A-Max loads. See how it shoots. It is increadably accurate out of the Grendels I have shot. I have found it for as low as 18.00 a box. Hard to beat that price loaded and then you will have brass for reloading.

[JohnVH]

Thanks Big!

Yep, got two boxes coming already! I think I got it for around 19/box. I will be reloading for it in the near future, so Ill work up a pet load that touches itself hopefully!

What's the build total cost?

[JohnVH]

man, I was trying not to think about that, haha, but I think were about 8-850 completed rifle? That pic shows the upper on his lower, I dont have it in my hands yet, nor have I built my lower. I think the only thing I dont have is scope rings.

That's actually not bad from what it looks like you got. Gonna be a sweet looking rig
