    All of mine are tight, usually I have to find something to poke the pin out enough for my ape hands to grab it. I can’t use my fingernails to start it.

    My 6.5 Grendel MS weighs just a touch under 6lb. with scope, bipod & sling 7.8ish lb. I've fired about 400 rounds through it and it's about a 1.25moa gun with factory ammo.

    I used a 20" Faxon 6.5 Grendel barrel, JP enterprises 6.5grendel bolt & the JP enterprises aluminum bolt carrier. Also a JP enterprises Silent Capture spring system Gen II standard weight with the normal spring (this will work with .223 perfectly fine). An adjustable gas block is required if running a lightweight carrier. I'm using a SLR rifle works titanium clamp on gas block.

    Light weight is expensive. A 7lb rifle could easily be done for $2500-$3000 all in. I'm over $5500 into mine ($1250 optic, $500 bipod). Concentrate on the big items first for weight savings. Barrel, Handguard, Bolt Carrier, Stock, Optic. All the small items (Pins, FA, port door, magazine catch, etc) don't add that much more weight but can quickly bring the price up.

    Sooner or later I'll get around to making a post about it. I've just been waay to busy with work and other commitments, I've only been home 8 days in the last 3 months. With work slowing down, this winter I should have lots of time to make a detailed post.

    I’m also planning a 6.5 grendel: Proof carbon fiber barrel and JP BCG, Fortis switch rail etc

    Where are you guys getting your 6.5 components or ammo? I haven’t figured that out yet

    Many options for barrels, we can make a barrel any contour or length or twist you wish, we can also supply Proof or BSF CFW barrels.
    For bolts JP seems to be 1 of the best but we are also seeing good success with the Brownells bolts. The JP silent captured buffer system works extremely well but the standard AR15 spring and buffer also will work. The 223 standard buffer system is all that is required.

    If I wanted some spare FA uppers, how long would the wait be? Is it the same as the lowers?

    To our valued customers:

    Due to the overwhelming number of daily inquiries on progress of Modern Sporter receivers we are not offering updated estimations of delivery on individual orders. The drain on our limited manpower is causing delays with having to respond either by phone or email to every inquiry about when a specific order might be shipping.
    The second production run is over 700 units and will start shipping within the next week or so and will continue shipping out over the next few months as receivers are ready.

    If you are in the third production run (ordered after April 15th) then your receiver is anticipated sometime in the late spring / Early summer of 2020.

    The day your order is ready to ship we will be in contact.

    Your patience and understanding in this is appreciated.
    Thank you.

    hoping to get this answer in the next couple of days. I've got literally 2 inches of paperwork sitting on my desk after TACCOM. The answer will be revealed once it's all been entered in.
