I get a lot of DMs asking for things that have been published in the open for many years, basically what barrel to go with, what barrel length, accuracy vs cost considerations, to which I like to emphasize reliability and accuracy checklists that have been listed repeatedly.Why keep good info to dms? I'd love to be a fly on the wall for said conversation
I usually post photos of the barrel extension de-edging, blending, and polishing, then cover extractor considerations, gas tube alignment, barrel bedding/fitting to the upper, upper face squareness, nut and muzzle device torque windows based on barrel weights.
Dudes will often start out with one idea of what they think they want, then bounce around from economy to higher-end build, rack-grade barrel vs the upper-mid to higher tier pipes, will such and such vendor be able to deliver by hunting season, etc.
Most common use is for hunting, followed by TGT shooting steel or combo of both.
Lots of suppressor questions/considerations that play into barrel length/performance/portability.
Reloading and magazines are 2 other common sources for questions.
Grendel has been here for just over 20 years now, with 127 current SKU factory loads as of the 3 new AAC ones that just dropped.
