Hi all,
For my next project I am interested in building a relatively lightweight 6.5 Grendel AR. I want to use the rifle for target shooting and varmint hunting (coyotes).
I just looked at the Alexander Arms website and they have some pretty cool components in their 2010 catalog. I like the monolithic upper. I live in NJ so I need to build a post ban rifle which includes a fixed stock and a muzzle break (no flash hider). I like the Ace skeleton stock.
What length barrel would you choose? Will I be giving up too much performance with a 16 inch barrel not including muzzle break? Which barrel maker would you choose? What length monolithic upper would be best? What length gas system?
My goal is to have a rifle under 10 pounds with optic.
Please provide me with some input. Also any photos of your Grendel with the attributes I outlined would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
CB
