Been kicking around getting a new ar. So I decided to build one my first and it's gonna be a Gerndel 6.5 :tup: Just orderd the 18 inch 1-8 twist beaded barrel an upper from AA. Any tips or Ideas are always welcome. I want this little tack driver for deer & predators.

Unless they told you they had it on hand, get ready for a year and a half wait. My brother and I got drug along for 18 months along with two other friends when we ordered ours. AA is not delivering even close to the time frame they originally gave is, which was three months. We all dropped our orders and purchased else where.

congrats! youll love the grendel! Bill at AA is a wealth of knowledge also!

Black Hole has an 18" 6.5 on the shelf ready to go.

Black Hole does a good barrel, especially in 6x45. :tup:

I sold Carl one of my lathes....kinda surprises a guy when he walks into that shop....lol. I have not owned or shot one of their barrels, but the tooling and inspection equipment is top shelf.

A friend of mine that I work with is in the "being drug along" stage right now with AA. I think he is going to order a barrel from Black Hole so he can build his now.
He blames me, as my wife has one and that is why he got interested in that caliber. I told him from the start to go with the Black Hole barrel, or just get a 25WSSM upper.
You will love your 6.5 Grendel. My wife sure loves hers. Neither coyotes nor antelope are not so fond of it however.
I am looking at building either a 6PPC (I believe the parent cartridge of the Grendel), or a 6 DTI, (6.8 SPC necked down) for my next project.
