    6.5 Grendel Build

    A buddy of mine. Bought an Armalite .308. Then put a FFP Vortex on top of it. I sighted it in. He shot it. Then said it was too heavy to hunt with and that it would probably be relegated to the back of the safe. How sad. But. He wanted a lightweight woods gun. So. He decided on a Grendel build. I picked all the parts. He ordered them. Here's the final product. I had never shot a Grendel. Recoils MUCH LESS than what I was expecting. This gun is probably half the weight of my 20" build. I even shocked myself. Haha

    I love it. It was my first time ever dealing with a Lantac product. KW900A actually pointed me to it because it was on some crazy sale. I love my JP Enterprise rail, but this Spada-S...I would buy one in a heartbeat. Lightweight. Skinny. Has a nice anti-rotation tab that goes on the gas tube against the receiver. Neat little setup. I know they make what, an M designated rail as well? I’ve never even looked at one of those. So I don’t know the difference. I thought KW and I were talking and maybe the S was just an older, discontinued model according to him. Maybe you can shed some light on it? Definitely impressed though for sure!

    Hmm. Feel like I forgot that was a grendel you built. That handguard is nice, kinda wish I bought one then too. What mags did you end up using?

    Thanks FortTom!

    KW-they’re metal mags. Two Alexander Arms 24-rd mags and 2 10rd mags of some brand that I don’t remember. Bad thing is. When I went to sight it in, my dumb ass forgot to take the mags. Hello single feed, every, single, round. Haha.
