Got the MOAG working fantastic. Thanks for all the help with the gas block problems and to all who gave me the constructive criticism. THUMBS UP THE VIDEO and Subscribe Now ! www.youtube.com...
hahaahaa we kinda talked about that last night... just like anything takes a lil practice... none the less, you are a bad ass in your own right with the 3gun and uspsa stuff for sure !
Raised So Cal LA/Compton left 1968 joined Army where I was introduced to firearms the M-14. It wasn't until I married a lady from Minnesota family into the gun thing the fishing the camping everything outdoor. I started reloading 30 years ago 223 to 450 Marlin cartridge but my favorite 6.5 CM, 30-06, 300WSM, and 300 WEATHERBY. ALASKA is home, the Army carried me here got out and stayed 41 years.
I just ordered 6.5 Grendel barrel for my oldest son. It was dirt cheap. Bear Creek. I've saw some people had headspace issues with them but they say their customer service is good so. We'll see what happens.👍
Hey there mr. Dan, long time no see. I believe I'm going to have to try one of the Bear Creek 24-inch myself. Hope you are doing well and at least picking up your Longbow once in awhile
@@kevinroberts9580 LOL the last time I picked up the Longbow was the last video I made with it. Something tells me I can still hit a water bottle 6 out of 5 times at 20 yards.......? Wait a minute.....? Maybe that is 5 out of 6..... Oh well 5 out of 4 people have trouble with fractions. We are doing great brother. How bout you?
@@UncleDanBand64 glad to hear you're doin great, I'm trying to get ready for a tournament next weekend... can't let these young guy's put me out to pasture quite yet! God bless you and yours brother
Grendel is very easy to get at least.6” next time try using a rear bag I noticed you ware holding the stock with your left hand and the bipod was pretty high legs were extended way out I enjoy your videos keep it coming
Hornady has a retail finder on their website. May help you track down some of the Hornady Black. It's still the best, most accurate ammo I've shot in my Grendel uppers. Also, get one of the world's cheapest trimmers off ebay. Best 23 bucks you can spend if you're loading.
@@alabama2uz its just sold out in my area... im in so cal... so there are another 300000 people with the same hobby as me... maybe one 1% want grendel.. still 3000 people.... Im gonna make my own and tune them to the rifle... stay tuned ! cheers and thanks !@
@@WTFSoCal A lot of your recipes are keto friendly or close, which is why I like them (not the damn cookies though!, those were GOOD). It's easy once you pass the first 2 weeks- keep the potassium, sodium and magnesium up). Reached goal weight in july and kept going. Tons of energy- physical and mental- no coffee needed. I hike with the plate carrier and (2) 11x14 plates now. Couldn't do that before. Fitness is one of the best Preps. Thx for your videos.
Glad you're getting the kinks worked out. Groups started to tighten up after that break. I bet with you loading the ammo you're going to be able to shrink the group size to well below MOA.
Nice job that you solved the issues as to me it happens to us all no matter how proficient you are at anything as we all have those moments....I was at Turners on Black Friday and dropped a mag behind the counter while holding a pistol because I accidentally pushed the mag release so I just put my head down and handed the gun back over as I felt like a million dollars and just laughed it off....Gotta love it sometimes....Nice shooting at the end and enjoy your times ahead....Good stuff...
I had to share. In ShotgunNews they had stainless grendel barrels, clearance. Won't say where but I picked up one for about 35 bucks, hit or miss right? I assumed it was just a pinker and I'd try David Fortiers short grendel setup, had it cut and pin and welded to 14.5. Jeez was I wrong. It was a laser pointer. Best rifle i own. My fave.
Hey brother! What you shared was just great info no embarrassment on your part. Learned alot also. Hey btw that range looks familiar. Is that West End GC?
I'm staying away from Factory ammo for now. After buying my Savage 7-08 I tried a factory ammo that felt very powerful. It was somewhat wide at 100 yards. The last 4 rounds I opened and find that they were at their max load, and a few were over board. I don't push any of my weapons that hard.
Having a yappy person next to me when I'm trying to record has happened sooooo many times, the funny thing is it's usually my buddy that I go to the range with...he doesn't have an "off" button =(
hahahahaahaaa I try to go to the very end of the bay so its a PITA to get to me... but that dude finds me everytime. thanks brother, hope your arm is getting better fast
I was going to mention the space taken up by the old style handguard 'plate' for lack of a better term....I saw it somewhere online, but don't remember where..you were right about the thickness being about equal to two thicknesses of standard printer paper...it was described as about the thickness of a standard business card...I'm going to hafta check with BCA on the same subject, post-holidays...on the subject of alignment...HB industries has a set of pins that assist the builder in aligning the gas port with the gas block: hbindustries.net/store/shop/ar15-gas-block-aligner-5-56mm/ Of course this is all 'after the fact' - you have everything set up and functioning quite well....perhaps some other builder will benefit from this...I forget where I saw the this tip, but if you get a piece of standard aquarium air tube (it's a bitch to do it) but take one end of the tube and attach it to the end of the gas tube coming through the upper and blow through it - if your port and gas hole are aligned you'll hear your breath coming though the muzzle....it worked for me when I installed a low profile gas block on my 16 in carbine...I also used a pencil and straightedge to indicate the location of the gas port as a reference when I installed the gas block...
What caused you to pick the Grendel, why not the 308 Winchester, I'm just asking? I built a Grendel also just something other than the 308 another 30 caliber rifle didn't want.
Cool. I got on the limited membership waiting list last month. Did it on line. Haven't actually been out there to see the range in person though. Looks like a nice range based on your video👍
Did I see you drop a magazine WITHOUT using a bullet button ?!? Is there something I don't know about California gun laws... Or did you move ? There's something I'm missing here....
Your worst group is my best, LOL Awesome rifle!

Incredible Groups Brother!!! Love a good Range Officer that Likes to have Chat Time on Your Time.....

there is a rear bag... watch as im loading ammo... Im also very tall... 6' 4".. so yea... not the best way but its comfortable.... thanks man !
Glad you got it worked out. Grendel is a badass round.
im enjoying it alot !

Glad to see it all worked out in the end. That was quite a trip!
PITA ! but im happy with it now for sure
I so like the new furniture! Now that last group looks interesting!!!!
interesting huh... ok LOL cheers brother thanks for stopping by
Impressive. My gas block issue was it wasn't for the spacer and moved it back enough to cause no cycling.
Definitely shows promise! Let’s get that rifle on the long range and see what it can do. I think it will be a good one!
I knew you would fix it, great shooting :)
thanks man ! hope you are staying warm in the slush !
@@WTFSoCal I still have power and the snow has stopped at about 16". I plan on going knee-deep in it tomorrow to film the "Christmas Special" :D
@@dirtroad5637 thats AWESOME !!!!
Missing your Big Meat Sunday videos. On keto for the last 11+ months (-60lbs), I've gone back and tried a few of your old videos.
wow thats fantastic... I need to start losing too, im a wreck !

Nice shirt buddy
oh you like that huh !

thats my thought as well ! thanks man !

yea, honest mistake.. no biggie. thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words
I had to share. In ShotgunNews they had stainless grendel barrels, clearance. Won't say where but I picked up one for about 35 bucks, hit or miss right? I assumed it was just a pinker and I'd try David Fortiers short grendel setup, had it cut and pin and welded to 14.5.
Jeez was I wrong. It was a laser pointer. Best rifle i own. My fave.
Some nice groups SoCal
Does that silly thing on the grip somehow keep school kids safe in California?
most certainly
👍👍
I have no issues learning from your mistakes, :) That last group was nice for sure!! They all would ground check a hog in the head.
for sure ! LOL
Hey brother! What you shared was just great info no embarrassment on your part. Learned alot also. Hey btw that range looks familiar. Is that West End GC?
yes it is WEGC, hardly any one there that day, the river crossing was pretty deep :-)
Looking at the Grendel as well is the proof barrel worth it as far as point of impact shift when it gets hot.
i dont shoot enough at once to find that to be an issue...
I'm staying away from Factory ammo for now. After buying my Savage 7-08 I tried a factory ammo that felt very powerful. It was somewhat wide at 100 yards. The last 4 rounds I opened and find that they were at their max load, and a few were over board. I don't push any of my weapons that hard.
really depends on the powder that determines max load... you could feasibly load a case full and still have a very slow velocity
Having a yappy person next to me when I'm trying to record has happened sooooo many times, the funny thing is it's usually my buddy that I go to the range with...he doesn't have an "off" button =(
hahahahaahaaa I try to go to the very end of the bay so its a PITA to get to me... but that dude finds me everytime. thanks brother, hope your arm is getting better fast
Awesome video man!
Nice shooting
Good stuff Brother!
Another day another lesson learned...welcome to life. LOL
taking the high road is always a good thing
I was going to mention the space taken up by the old style handguard 'plate' for lack of a better term....I saw it somewhere online, but don't remember where..you were right about the thickness being about equal to two thicknesses of standard printer paper...it was described as about the thickness of a standard business card...I'm going to hafta check with BCA on the same subject, post-holidays...on the subject of alignment...HB industries has a set of pins that assist the builder in aligning the gas port with the gas block:
hbindustries.net/store/shop/ar15-gas-block-aligner-5-56mm/
Of course this is all 'after the fact' - you have everything set up and functioning quite well....perhaps some other builder will benefit from this...I forget where I saw the this tip, but if you get a piece of standard aquarium air tube (it's a bitch to do it) but take one end of the tube and attach it to the end of the gas tube coming through the upper and blow through it - if your port and gas hole are aligned you'll hear your breath coming though the muzzle....it worked for me when I installed a low profile gas block on my 16 in carbine...I also used a pencil and straightedge to indicate the location of the gas port as a reference when I installed the gas block...
What caused you to pick the Grendel, why not the 308 Winchester, I'm just asking? I built a Grendel also just something other than the 308 another 30 caliber rifle didn't want.
i have 308s, 6.5 creeds and grendels and a host of other calibers, just wanted to try it out. i try to stay diversified :-P
Which range was that? Where is it located? Is it public?
its on the way to lydel creek, but no it is a private club. they are always accepting applications
You’re welcome
hahahaahhaaa thanks again
Rookie Mistake. LOL nice groupings all the same!
Eh young man what kind of trigger you using in your video....
I have a build video, but it was a POF flat face
sweet shooter on the bottom left......did you take the Howa ? you didnt mention it
Nope... thats an entirely separate epic fail video... been a bad month to make videos LOL
I make videos to make me look like a Jackass. I thought that was everyone's goal😂👍
especially mine ! LOL thanks brother
Ain't nothing wrong with those groups brother.👍
@@WTFSoCal lol 👍
What shooting range is this?
west end gun club
Cool. I got on the limited membership waiting list last month. Did it on line. Haven't actually been out there to see the range in person though. Looks like a nice range based on your video👍
its pretty huge facility, i have not seen most of it either. nice though, rarely ever crowded !
RU a member, WTF? Doe a membership provide enough benefit to make it worthwhile?
First, Winner yes
congrats Jonny !!!
Did I see you drop a magazine WITHOUT using a bullet button ?!? Is there something I don't know about California gun laws...
Or did you move ? There's something I'm missing here....
its called a featureless rifle.... so i cam have a mag button that works but cant have many other things that are normal to an AR platform
You talk too much :)
i know...
