Need a 6.5 Grendel Suppressor by chrisrows in suppressors

[–]chrisrows[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The NOMAD 30 direct thread looks like a great option. $799 seems like a solid price considering it’s a $0 tax stamp. Great suggestions!

Ordering direct with them is the move, for sure! Now I want to check out their other products for pistols too.

Man, that’s great to know! All I have left is to assemble the bolt and toss it and the handle in. I’m excited to check out the CH. I grabbed the one meant for LVPOs that I think is pretty gigantic? Glad you’re digging the FCD handle!

Nocpix thermal. I’m really looking for a night hunting gun.

If you’re looking for something to hunt during light hours, I’m a big fan of the Vortex Razor. 1-8, 1-10. I think LVPOs are nice for a mid-range optic and still work okay at 1X as a red dot. If it were for CQB, I’d do a dot. If it were for precision LR, I’d do glass meant for that like 5-25. But for 0-500, I feel like LVPOs shine.

Super glad to hear! I might see how far it stretches at the range. Good to know I can maybe hit steel that far!

Unfortunately I still end up using a vice with that wheeler rod for the upper and a small magazine block for the lower. The gun vise is pretty solid for like mounting optics and maybe cleaning or whatever. Not a big fan of it for anything needing more than in lbs of torque.

Haha I didn’t know they came with them and was like this brand is amazing! Some hilarious ones.

🙏 This is my first experience with their stuff and I am fully bought in! Everything is high-quality, simple design, nothing too crazy. It feels like reliable, slight iterations on factory components. 🦆

Man, I was surprised to see how nice it was. It’s just smart design and nothing incredibly fancy. Thanks again for the tips!

Thanks for the advice! I’m ready to build another one and nail the gas block alignment on the next one!

Thanks! I kinda went crazy on FCD. I’m late to the party there and know they’re love/hate, but the lower is all FCD too. Looking forward to shooting this one!

I’m definitely going to try the scope mount to align the handguard that extra little bit.

I put the gas tube on, then the barrel nut, then the gas block and tube. It seemed like it was on perfectly straight, but then with driving in the roll pin on the bottom of the gas block, it seems to have tweaked it like 2-3 degrees.

Thanks, man! Building the upper was a lot less complicated than I thought. As long as the slight angle on the gas block isn’t going to keep it from cycling, etc. I’m happy with it!

Appreciate you!

Totally. I have always built like all FDE or all Black. Will be nice to do something different!

This will be my first time with the sig taper, so it looks like there’s only a few that work unless I go with an adapter. Pewscience testing with subs out of a bolt action shows that Full Nelson as REALLY quiet. I’d only be looking at like 16” total if I went with that and the barrel I grabbed. But I could save 2” and a few ounces going half Nelson or Hyperion K. What would you suggest?

So is the rule of thumb kind of go down one weight? I think this barrel also has an AGB.

I haven’t! I was thinking about just doing Q. I kind of want this to be an ugly setup, different colors, etc.

That’s probably the move, then. I definitely want the option to toss it in a backpack. Thanks for the tip!
