Have you tried Bill Alexander?

Re: Good AR Smith for a custom 6.5 Grendel Build

Might want to check Bill Alexanders track record log on to 50beowulf.com and check the time frame and crappy weapons they ship(growing pains?) Great calibers BUT let someone else build your weapon or do it yourself. Its really not hard to build AR15 type weapons plenty of how to type dvd and books. couple of basic tools you will want for the build and up keep.

I firmly believe you can do this with out a smith. I am in the process myself and have gotten alot of great support from the folks here on the hide. Search my post "so....grendel it is" for some great links and info. I am going to go with Les Baer matched receivers and a LW barrel through CSS that will come with a matched bolt. All of the non bore specific parts are completely interchangable with the .223 platform right down to the receivers. I will also be going with a "heavy" buffer combo and a RR two stage because you simply can't beat the price. I am figuring a price tag of around $2500 before optic, but there are savings to be had in areas like free float tubes and stocks.

His guns do...If you should decide to go the build it yourself route give him a call as well. Great guy and I think he has 6.5 Grendel barrels in stock (at least he did at last check).

Take care, Craig

Finding a better than factory rack grade barrel, for a Grendel, can sometimes be harder than getting the gun built. I would suggest before commissioning some one to build your gun make sure, you or they have a barrel in hand, that you will be happy with.

Hit Scotty up. The last 6.5 Grendal he built was stupid accurate. Great guy and great rifles.

Re: Good AR Smith for a custom 6.5 Grendel Build

I hear you Mike. Maybe you should stop messing around and have Scott build you one, Lord knows you need all the help you can get.

Here is one of Scott's Grendal groups he sent me when he started making them. It was something like .104

Re: Good AR Smith for a custom 6.5 Grendel Build

In do time grasshopper. A 6.5 from Scott is next on my list. Right after I finish the 260 bolt gun.

I never really entertained the caliber before I saw Scotts. From that day I have been planning my build.

Re: Good AR Smith for a custom 6.5 Grendel Build

Thanks for the endorsements, I just hired a new guy to do my website and we'll have some good pictures up of all the calibers. I'm doing a lot of predator hunting uppers/rifles, but am still doing tactical/long range ones also.

Thanks guys.

Re: Good AR Smith for a custom 6.5 Grendel Build

One year ago this weekend I recall George Gardner of GAPrecision walking the prize table at NorCal, and guess what he picked up.........one of Scott's uppers:

Good smiths know good smiths.................

Little known fact about that picture was that Vu and Scott were actually holding hands.
