I have a 6.5 grendel with Aero upper/lower, geisselle, UBR, 22" JP barrel and bolt/bolt carrier. Really accurate set up. This is a well put together very accurate rifle, also an absolute perfect set up for a youth hunting rifle. I have 200 pieces of unopened brass and a set of dies as well as some 130gr hornady eldm. I can set you up with a complete turn key package if you wish. Seems I find myself more interested in these wood and blued beauties these days plus getting ready for my first trip to Africa so sacrifices must be made. Looking to sell or trade. $2000

That's a sweet looking package. Is the barrel carbon fiber?
 
No, it's a JP regular steel barrel with black ceracoat. 22" kind of. Medium contour, I would say it's about .80 at the muzzle maybe a tad smaller. It has the red JP heat dissapator under the handguard
 
6.5 Grendel is a fantastic round, really performs much better than one would expect. This is plenty for deer, hogs and other easy to kill stuff.

Could you get to 2600 with those 130 eldm's? I would guess you can get close with that 22" tube.
 
I would say so. My other was an 18"and I was pushing 2500 with it. I have had really good luck with CFE223 and if you have a dillon or any other progressive press that stuff meters awesome.

I love CFE223. I bought a few jugs before the craze, wish I bought a lot more.

I don't need another AR in something other than 5.56, but this is really a nice setup.
 
I'm hoping some body is interested. Id like to sell or hell I would swap for some rangefinding binos, partial trade on some good African styme shooting sticks. Reloading stuff in the 375H&H or 458 lott, 460 weatherby flavor. Good low power variable scope. Stuff like that
 
We switched from .308’s to 6.5 grendels for hog control. Much lighter package and plenty of punch for the hogs we’re shooting. Mine is a custom rig on an AR platform much like what is being offered here. Mine shoots 1.5” five shot groups at 300.
 
They are dandy rifles and a great caliber really. Even with a shoet barrel they are impressive. Running a rig like this with 2 uppers. A long one and a shoer one so you can swap up depending on the mission would be an ideal set up. Even ab 11" barrel grendel has enough to get out to 7 or 8 hundred yards for target shooting purposes.
 
Agreed. Good luck with the sale and the African plans. Someone will be pleased with this rig.
 
Open to offers as well
If I may, I suggest checking out the Mad Dog Weapons systems forum. I believe there is a minimum post count requirement for posting classifieds, but its a good place to sell/buy oddball AR-related items. Built 3 Grendels so far myself. Fabulous round
 
Yeah I have it on snipershide and long range hunting. No big hurry but I would like to get it sold eventually.

Also interested in trades for most any safari related gear as well as reloading components. Bino's, 458 and 375 caliber bullets, shooting sticks.
 
I can’t believe that this hasn’t sold. Surely someone has some hogs that need to eat dirt!
 
I know. I found a rifle that I absolutely need. Ha ha and I got to get this thing sold. If you're interested let me know. I will certainly make you a good deal on it.
 
I have 200pc of brand new brass and I think a couple hundred 130gr hornady eldm as well as the reloading dies. Turn key package
 
Sorry, wish I could help but I am very happy with my Grendel. I have been thinning the herd a bit myself.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
