This build is under construction ...

The Hornady Marketing train left the station on 6.3.2020 and I’m still waiting on the platform to get on the train......

Thus far I have ordered the following:

(Ordered June 11th) 18” McGowen AR-15 mid-length gas 1-7.5 twist stainless steel 416R barrel, .750 gas journal, .078 gas port size, 5/8x24 threaded with an 11 degree target crown.

I have on hand:

100 rounds of Hornady Black to break in the barrel and use the brass to reload 

3 ASC 25 round mags - I need to tweak and tune the feedlips and mag spring -  I tested one brand new out of the package with a known good working grendel rifle and it was a jam-o-matic

Ares Armory enhanced - low friction Bolt Carrier

Bear Creak ARSEnal 6.5 Grendel bolt

AR15discounts NBS slick side billet upper and handguard

Superlative Arms adjustable gas block 

1000 cnt Speer Deep Curl 90 grain bullets

New unopened Hornady die set

An existing lower with a LaRue MBS 2 stage trigger and full length rifle stock

Will update here when I get on the train !

P.S. - I see Hornady reloading handbook and Hodgdon’s reloading tool folks standing on the platform with me ......  dang Hornady marketing team got an early jump on this one.

What is the Warning level thing?

I'm new to AR's in general and still waiting on a LaRue UU in 6.5 Grendel.

I have discovered two things:

1. I do not make enough money to support my new hobby!

2. AR's really are like potato chips. I bought 1, then another, then another...

I really like the look of the 6ARC. It is on the short list of things I want.

Good video on 6mm ARC reloading by Ultimate Reloader.

Hi Everyone! Jakal here from 65Grendel.com.  Thanks for the board BFT! 

Looking forward to the knowledge contributions, as this site and the 6mm ARC mature!
