Nice looking rifle at a decent price although I'd rather see a CTR on the tail instead of a MOE.

Nice!!!

quick question, which chamber are you guys using?

SAAMI, 264lbc, Grendel II ect...

and does this rifle have a proprietary grendel bolt (.136 recess), or a 7.62x39 bolt (.125 recess)

great looking rifle by the way, cant wait to see some of these in the wild.

Gorgeous ...!!

Cool. Any chance for sbr/pistol uppers?

Nice. That logo looks sick for the Grendel BTW.

I'd be interested in a 16" or 18" barrel by itself (or preferably with a matched bolt). Any chance of seeing those in the future?

Are they in stock or built to order? I'm interested in the X4 6.5 Grendel.

Nice. I wouldn't mind having one of those.

USAR_DS,

We are using the proprietary 6.5 Grendel bolt and SAAMI chambering. Thanks

M6Z,

We are not planning on any SBR or Pistols for the Grendel

GUNNUT284,

We are planning to offer a kit that includes the barrel, bolt and mag. Only in 18" and 20" currently though.

PHIBEROPTIK,

The TAC 6.5 rifles are built for stock but all HARDCORE rifles are built to order and ship one week after order placed. If you are ready to order shoot me an email and I can walk you through it and answer any questions you may have. Thanks

This has my interest. Are the threads 5/8-24?

very clean looking rifle. I LOVE 6.5g

As others have stated that logo is awesome. Whoever came up with that needs a raise.

I'm not even a fan of roll marks and logos, but that thing looks sinister.

BadAss rifle guys. I will add this to my "need" list. lol

Make that a STR! Something that has a use full cheek weld. The MOE and CTR are useless in that regard IMO. Throw in a MOE + grip too

This group was shot at 100 yards with the HARDCORE X2 6.5 Grendel Rifle with 120gr. PPU HPBT.

Are you making your own barrels from bar stock?

Posted: 11/5/2015 6:18:35 PM EDT

[#27]

Thank you Quad for the thread pitch info.

I've got a couple brake/FH units sitting in the safe and I already know which receiver set will get built.

Now I just need another KAC URX3 Rifle Length or URX 3.1 in 13.5 for this build.

M4GER, No problem at all! Sounds like a plan!

ZIARIFLEMAN, Yes sir we do! We start with twenty foot sticks of 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel mil 11595B. We craft the barrels entirely under our roof!
