gun looks great, upper and lower look very well finished. i really like that larue stock and i am going to try one of those 60* safety levers. nice setup

I think you should try that RAT Stock, brother - it's on sale right now from $115, down to $39.  Only $39 bucks for that stock.  Add the $12.50 for the cleaning rod setup, for it.

Here's the deal:

Here's the cleaning rod thing...   Use a bullet tip to pop the stock off - push in detent, push stock pad down.

This is what's underneath:

Use the bullet tip in the front of the stock to push those cleaning-rod-holders back, so you can grab them:

Then SNATCH 'EM!  :laffs:

Here's the setup - use the bullet tip to push the rod sections out of those plastic holders, put the rod together, and screw it into the stock buttpad - and that's your leverage.

It's pretty damn smart.  :thumbup:

$39 + another $12.50 gets that setup.  $51.50...   Like Van Halen...  :banana:

Thank you, my Brother.  

Now that this thing is wrapped up - even though I shot the piss out of the cartridge already, in a torn down other gun - I know what the cartridge can really do.  I'm excited to get it back out there, in the chassis it was supposed to be in from the get-go.  I'll re-zero the scope, if necessary, and do the final setting on the elevation zero-stop.

I've got 160 pieces of once-fired Hornady Match brass in the tumbler right now, so those will resized/deprimed, and then primed back up tonight.  Saturday, I'll make my initial test loads for the 108 ELD-M projectiles and Accurate 2520 powder.  We'll find out what it likes the best, come Sunday morning.  After that, it's game fukkin' ON!   :thumbup:

 

So, now...   After I built that first 18" Grendel SPR-ish rifle, and it knocked my socks off, the 2nd Grendel built was a 12.5".  The capability of that thing blew my mind.  I'm on the hunt for a 12"~12.5" ARC barrel.  Precision Firearms lists one, but I haven't seen anybody else list anything that short yet.  If you guys see something like that pop up, before I see it, make sure to let me know. 

One down, next one is on deck...  

EDIT - I'm gonna be $472 into the 12.5" barrel that I want, from Precision Firearms.  If you guys spot something, spill the beans...  This might HURT!...  :laffs:

 :hail:  I found those guys last night - they're in the running, brother.  Last night was a search-frenzy for ANYONE that can do a great, short 6 ARC barrel. 

They're up there, for sure - and they're local to me.   :thumbup:

This fat hooker finally got some paint today.  My custom Cerakote mix.  I call it SHIIT BROWN.  It's amazing in the sunlight...  :thumbup:

Oh, let's not stop there - lets just paint the Athlon scope, too...   :banana:

It's FINISHED now.  Proper dirt colored, and it's right.  Everything is good in the world.  :thumbup:

That's the Shiit right there! :thumbup:

I see what you did there...   :banana::lmao:

Now that it's got a proper Cerakote base to it, I can use the ex-wife's lacy underwear to add a decent Krylon pattern to it...   :thumbup:

Not having an ex I may be behind the curve here, why would one keep those? :laffs:

I have one pair sewn into the inside of my hat - so the pus$y is always on my mind...   :thumbup:
