I managed to pick up most of the parts on sale for around 15% or more off.
I built it as a hunting and LR rig. As it weighs in at a healthy 12# , I have a TAB Gear biathlon sling for it.
Function is 100% but I'm still tuning the gas system to eliminate some case head swipe, as it's a bit over-gassed. No shots for groups yet but the first range trip was very encouraging.
Another AR 10 in 260 Rem.

Good looking rig. I had a 6.5 Grendel built recently but have been to hobbled up by back stuff to shoot it yet. Have high hopes.
Re: Another AR 10 in 260 Rem.
The AR Grendel I own is an Alexander Arms complete upper on a Rock River lower with a Geiselle trigger . That one shoots better then my AR 260 ! Incidentally my Grendel upper has a fiberglass free float forend , I think I wanna do that on the AR-10 I’m in the process of putting together .Bill in Oregon wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2019 4:02 pm Good looking rig.

Thanks!
I do Like the A1/A2 stocks best. I don’t really care for the 5/6 position adjustable stocks. I would love to have a Magpul PRS stock on it but at their asking price, they really don’t want to sell it to me.
In this case, I went with the A1 stock. The large frame AR receiver is 5/8 of an inch longer than an AR 15 receiver, so the A2 stock would have made the LOP too long for me.

Re: Another AR 10 in 260 Rem.
I lucked out at a gun show, guy was sitting on a PRS , it was a demo stock with lots of finger prints on it. I picked it up and offered him 175. He said sold.cnjarvis wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2019 8:59 pmThanks!

Re: Another AR 10 in 260 Rem.
I don't like the 6-position stocks at all.
I replaced the entire lower on my Grendel with a Rock River, A2 stock, ambi-safety, winter trigger guard.
It's a great hog and coyote gun with my predator light mounted.
