[QUOTE="msalm, post: 559191, member: 8863"] I've been a big fan of the Grendel and have built at least 10-12 of them so far. Most were with shot out high-power 6.5-284 barrels (Krieger mostly). Take a 30" barrel and cut 6 inches off the chamber end and with the Palma and AMU tapers you'll end up at just over an inch diameter at the breech end which is perfect for the AR15's (1.050" is max diameter). The throats look like a new barrel chamber when done and ALL of those rifles I built on those barrels shot an easy 1/2 MOA when completed. Most of them were for hunting rifles and finished at 20-22". I know one of them has killed two deer past 300 yards with the 100gr Nosler BT. Performance was very good and blood trails were short, less than 40 yards. I get my bolts from Les Baer for the Grendel, barrel extensions from BAT (the best) and usually RRA or Armalite carriers. The carrier can be any good quality manufacture and will work fine. [/QUOTE]
