Hi everyone:
This is my first post, first build, first AR, and need some help on completing my rifle. Tried this on the more generic AR forum but got no response.
I went with 6.5 Grendel as this will be mainly used for Whitetail & the occasional nuisance coyote. I've completed my lower with the following:
Spikes Forged Lower Receiver
CMMG Builders LPK
BCM PNT Trigger
Brownell's Generic Carbine Buffer Tube Assembly
Magpul CTR Stock
For the Upper, I recently purchased an AR15 Performance Predator 20 inch SS barrel and ARP 910 Super Bolt and anxiously awaiting their arrival. http://www.ar15performance.com/inc/sdetail/38016/36799
I wanted to get the Spikes Slick side upper but they've been out of stock for months and now there is an 8-10 week backorder. So I heard that the BCM Upper usually fit well with my lower and they worked well for getting a nice snug fit with the barrel. Also out of stock. After searching for Uppers in stock I've found the Bootleg upper in stock from a couple retailers. Anyone here have any experience with this upper? Like fitment to lower, color match, overall quality etc.
So I'm looking for suggestions on an upper receiver and BCG for the barrel and bolt mentioned above (that is in stock somewhere). I want to get this unit completed before the Michigan early antlerless season which is mid September so I can fill the freezer with venison.
Any input or experience good or bad regarding my choice in barrel is welcomed. It was the only 20 inch 6.5 G barrel I could find in stock and I've heard a lot of good things regarding ARP's 6.8 barrels.
Thanks in advance.
