98Z5V Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Geissele Hi-Speed National Match (Match spring set) is in it already. Odin Works 6.5G black nitrided BCG arrived. Gun Pusher calls me this morning while I'm at work. He says, "I've got a customer that needs me to order up a Ballistic Advantage barrel, and I KNOW you need a barrel..." That bastard... I told him to go ahead and throw this one in his cart and just get it coming already... http://ballisticadvantage.com/18-inch-65-grendel-spr-rifle-ss-premium-barrel.html My last experience with the BA match series SPR profile barrel is on the Mod 1, and ho-lee shee-it do I like that barrel! VERY impressive results with it. I figured I can't go wrong with another one of their match series SPR-profiled barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 More baby steps. Gun Pusher didn't get the BA barrel order out, due to more incoming barrel orders - he's stuck. I ordered the Faxon Match Gunner barrel in the meantime - which was always a plan. See, originally, the plan was to fit the SPR-profile barrel to this one, and get the Faxon Gunner barrel eventually, and build a lighter-weight full-on Grendel for Kim. Well, THAT ain't happening now... Anyway, here we are, in shooting configuration. I snatched that $79 deal on the Bushnell AR 1~4 scope, had a spare PA extended 30mm mount, and we can shoot this thing now. Alexander Arms E-Lander 17-rd Grendel mags are on the way. As soon as LaRue has more of those mags in stock (2 wks), I'll get 5 more of them, and the LT-158 mount in 30mm, then finally pick up another PA 4~14 scope for this thing. I've got two slings from Jacob and one of them is going on this - when I get the sling mounts sorted out. Only at that point, will it be "finished." Until then, though, it's "shootable" now.

Was just wondering that as well, curious as to what you guys think of the more vertical grip style, haven’t seen one here to try one out. Very sweet looking rifle, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Yep, MOE K2. It's all I get, anymore. Love 'em. I was getting the MOE K2+, but over time, I don't like the rubber coating. Now I just stick with the plastic ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 For my hands the K2 works for me too brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Another vote for the K2. I like the feel of the rubber on the plus version when I am pulling the trigger but it gives me issues when I go to manipulate controls, won't let my hand shift unless I really relax the grip on it.

Honestly gloves make it worse for me, they are sticker than my hands alone and remove the feel. I suppose I could use some cheap jersey gloves that slide easier but hat will just lead to other issues when manipulating the weapon.

98Z5V Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Text from Gun Pusher this morning... (Picture of a carboard box was sent) "I think that's a 6.5 barrel..." My response: "Oh Damn. I will bring you a stack of green dollar bills. Let me go count the stack of ones, the stripper money..." Sure enough, he had the Ballistic Advantage SPR barrel. Guess what I just installed, and just removed... then I installed another one... 6.5 Grendel Mk 12 SPR profile, heavy stainless, rifle gas, measured out a 0.100" gas port diameter.

How does the Rifle feel with the Heavier Barrel on it now ? No worries on the port diameter info - good that it's there. There's a definite difference in it now - that BA barrel is about a pound heavier than the Faxon barrel. 26.88 ounces (1.68 lbs) for the Faxon, and the Ballistic Advantage is 39.3 ounces (2.45 lbs). You can definitely feel the weight difference. That BA barrel will stay in this rifle, for sure. That Faxon barrel will turn into a lighter-weight hunting rig. Just what I need - more of them... Faxon Firearms 6.5 Grendel gas port info: Match Series- 18" Gunner, 6.5 Grendel, 416-R, 5R, Nitride, Nickel Teflon Extension - Gas Port diameter = 0.077".

98Z5V Posted February 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 So Aero Precision just released a Service Edition builder set for the 5th branch of the service - the US Coast Guard. I gotta say, I loved that Air Force set, and this one is a close runner up. This looks damn good. https://aeroprecisionusa.com/m4e1-em15-coast-guard-builder-set.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
