Smooth as fk. The GRS is very nice to shoot with. I swapped the faxon handguard with the code because i like the look better. Also added the stream light from the GPC9 because this is my main and will be what i grab in case of emergency. Gun shot perfectly, no malfunctions or oddities. Still accurage. I did have to remove the barrell nut so a benched zero would probably be good but it was still very accurate from the previous zero.

Added the additional weights in the buffer to make it a full GRS buffer system. Ran very smooth. Re-zero'd the optic and practiced double taps at 15 and bill drills at 7. This is still my favorite build. I added some rail covers and a small handstop. The handstop is small and works very well. The rail covers are for aesthetic purposes.

Added the Kaw Valley linear compensator with a pin & weld and this thing shoots beautifully. Only issue today was using Sig V-Crown, which did not feed. For self defense, Sellier & Bellot rounds will be in the magazine.

Flat-nosed Winchester 115gr ammo is ass, never buy again. Flat face makes feed reliability bad. Otherwise smooth, very accurate, and a joy to shoot.
