How do you like the jard trigger? Pull weight? Any issues with bump fire or safety overall?

Love them. This is my second one. Both at 24 oz. woulda went lighter, but they're both on hunting rifles that will be used in winter with gloves on. No issues. They be skookum....

I built a 16 in 6 ARC bolt gun--I love it---I regularly shoot 103, 108s and 115s out of it--it kills and suppresses beautifully
what kind of velocities do you get?

Looks incredible. What kind of paint did you use and what velocities are you getting out of what bullet weights? Thanks

Thanks huntsman. That sounds good considering barrel length. Been wanting to try a sponge job on my 5.56 gen 2 ranch as well.

another sponge job on a gen 1 grendel
I was fondling one of these at Cabelas this evening. I know they shoot well, but I was not a fan of the gen 1 for some reason. The gen 2 looks pretty nice. The stock seemed flexy though seemed to have generous float so maybe not an issue? I know inexpensive gun so not going to be perfect, but Anybody shoot these with bipod have any issues?

I'm really enjoying my gen 2. It shoots everything sub moa pretty easy. I just hate the heavy trigger.
