Have had it in safe for a longggggg time. Very little use. Originally, wanted it to be a super duper long range stable heavy gun for ringing steel way out there.
But it was never that accurate. I loaded for it from 52 grains to 77 and never found a really great accuracy. Now i just take my 14.5" pencil bbl that is capable of sub moa and shoot medium ranges with it. 300 -400 yards and it is quite fun. I was thinking I could change out barrel on this 20 inch 1in9 twist 556 hbar, to a 24" grendel. Or a friend recommended sbr it. But I'm not crazy about sbr laws and registration and hassle. What say you ...

I took a lower like that and went 6.5 Grendel and put a 22 inch barrel on it. It became an 800 meter nail driver.

I have an ALG handguard on it now and it shoots much better than when it wore this houge pos. Still just a DPMS bullet hose.
 Attached FileMy point is that a boring old 20" can find new life as a bump saw. |

Do a 13.7" with a pinned and welded BE Meyers 249 flash hider to be 16.1" (photos off google) they handle like a SBR but have the barrel size to not legally be one.

Stick with the original concept and use this as an excuse to go Grendal. If it were mine I'd look at something between an 18" and 24" barrel.

You could sell it and buy a new lower for an AR pistol build with one of the fancy SB tactical braces to avoid SBR laws.
Or turn that one back into a pistol if it was built that way first. |

Make it a Grendel of at least 14.5" and throw at least a 1-8 or 3-15 up top.

You could make some minor changes, Cerakote it and do a block II build. I should have mine finished up soon.
