Armed Eye Doc Posted April 20, 2019 Report Posted April 20, 2019 Here is the result of trying to get @98Z5V to buy a Grendel barrel. I got distracted by a 450 Bushmaster barrel. I resisted until I saw a complete upper at bear Creek armory for $259. Here you can see the 450 bullet next to a 45ACP I won't get to shoot it for a month or so.
sketch Posted April 20, 2019 Report Posted April 20, 2019 ata boy, buy more stress less! looks like fun to be had!
Armed Eye Doc Posted April 20, 2019 Author Report Posted April 20, 2019 At least I now have a rifle larger than a 35 caliber. I think that is what @Boot_Scraper said was necessary to call yourself a man.
98Z5V Posted April 20, 2019 Report Posted April 20, 2019 I am LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW... <<< My sides hurt. That took 2 minutes to type, I'm laughing so hard... Well done, though, brother - you certainly didn't fuk about with making a whole gun out of a barrel sale... 😁

Boot_Scraper Posted April 20, 2019 Report Posted April 20, 2019 I just repeated it! NICE! I've been eyeing that upper all week! What's your thoughts?
Armed Eye Doc Posted April 20, 2019 Author Report Posted April 20, 2019 It seems to be well made. It's a little on the heavy side. It was almost 5 pounds alone. It will cycle factory rounds with ease so the chamber is smooth. I read that some had burrs and required polishing. The mags I bought at the gun show (no name that I can tell) are a bit tight and difficult to insert when loaded. I'll have to order some better ones.

Rsquared Posted April 21, 2019 Report Posted April 21, 2019 Good lookin rifle Doc. AND, the fact that enabled yourself right into it is even funnier.
Armed Eye Doc Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Posted May 26, 2019 I shot it for the first time today. With a single round in the mag and it did not hold the bolt back. It will hold manually with empty mag. It will eject the empty round but not pick up the next round most of the time. It did pick up the round a few times but would not fully chamber it. It could be a magazine issue. I was using unbranded 450 Bushmaster mags from the gun show. All did the same thing. However, they will hand cycle through the whole magazine. I will get some better ones ordered. I do believe it is likely a gas issue. It could also be the buffer. I am using an H1 buffer. I can't get my video to load where I am.
washguy Posted May 26, 2019 Report Posted May 26, 2019 Doc Ron That's a big ol round.....surely theres gas to be had ....gotta hold back on one round as you know Wash

I must be getting old because anything closely related to "Metal" makes me go duh and will hypnotize me thus rendering me useless. Humm,maybe I always was useless and just never knew it. Carry On
suzukiray Posted May 26, 2019 Report Posted May 26, 2019 Ron, is the .450 the same as the .458 Socom in that you can use the .223 mags? I've NEVER had an issue with my .458 and all I use is .223 mags in it.

I've NEVER had an issue with my .458 and all I use is .223 mags in it. It is a standard AR15 lower. You can change the follower on a standard mag and make it work. I shot it a few more times today. It actually cycled a few times. It may need some more shooting.
MikedaddyH Posted May 27, 2019 Report Posted May 27, 2019 I think this may be my BIGGEST problem ...LMAO ! Yesterday I drew a gun on paper that looked cool as hell then I asked a couple of friends if I could build it and they said it was basically illegal. So I will file it next to the belt-fed Pistol drawing .

MikedaddyH Posted May 27, 2019 Report Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) I would build a gun chambered in 10mm Magnum if I could get enough brass ... And some of those armor tipped uranium core projectiles ! Edited May 27, 2019 by MikedaddyH Standard issue M41A pulse rifle
