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.
