Got this one put together. 6.5 Grendel 12" barrel. Does anyone know a specific chassis that may clear the suppressor and short barrel?

JTAC industries elf owl. I’ve got an 11” forend on a 14.5 barrel. They make a 9” and will build you whatever you want. It did take a long time to get but I think they’ve been going through some supply issues. It’s really well made though and the folding butt stock locks up tight

What's the weight on that?

Rented PTG uni throater from 4D.

I currently have the mini capable of loading 2.475ish. I hopefully can push that to 2.55” when I’m done with it.

Decided to stop here, with the 77TMK near optimal loading, and the 88’s around .1” longer.

Figure if I pull off the longer COAL function, I can still seat the 88’s .050 off or so. Plus I want to wait for the new 88tmks before going further.

Basically added .100 freebore to whatever was there on the Shaw .223ai reamer used.

Feel dumb taking a cutting tool to a barrel shooting great. But life is short!
