[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1292872, member: 12995"] Yep, I've got 2 Rainier barrels (14.5" 1:7 5.56 / 16" 5R Polygonal 1:8.5 .300 BLK), and 1 Satern (of the 3 uppers I built) that's a 24" 5R 1:8 6.5 Grendel II. My LWRC has an LWRC CHF 5.56 1:7 barrel on it. For a carbine-length upper with an EOTech, that thing is a tack-driver. My 2 Rainier barrels are insanely accurate, as well (like you said, Shilen blanks). The Satern (my 6.5 Grendel) hasn't been shot enough to get it dialed-in yet, so I can't give a report on it, but it shows promise.
