Thanks Lastrites for your input

Found one more to think about? http://www.model1sales.com/index.cfm...ategory_ID=653

Hey Lastrites I do like that muzzle brake VG6 Precision Gamma 65 looks nice, Thanks

[VASCAR2]

I'd pass on the Model 1 Sales if I were buying, barrel is 1:9 twist and Model 1 has had issues in the past, basically rack grade barrel with variant chamber. I'd put an upper together myself before buying that upper.

If you look at the drop down menus there are a lot of upcharges and makes this upper much to expensive for what your getting. I'd buy another J&T Distributing/Double Star if I was going to get a 1:9 twist barrel at least J&T uses SAAMI spec barrels.

Thanks VASCAR2, I think it's boiling down to two to choose from https://www.dsarms.com/p-16633-dsa-a...ss-barrel.aspx http://www.opticsplanet.com/odin-wor...ver-ybasr.html 20" with KeyMod

LWP your links above seem to be not working, the DSarms 20" complete upper for $600 is a solid choice when you consider that Odin sells the barrel, gas block and bcg for about $400 with the difference being a nice hand guard, gas tube and upper receiver. That should easily reach out beyond 1000 yards with decent glass. The only thing on it that I would consider replacing from the get go would be the muzzle device. I found a deal on the new generation Griffin flash comp that should be delivered by the end of the week, really curious with how it will perform, we shall see.

I believe this is one you were looking at above.

Yes you are correct Lastrites that's the one with a DSA receiver. Not sure why the other ones that I posted would not click on and go to for you. This is another promising one from Optics Planet.ODIN Works ODW-URC-CUR-CU-BL-15-KM-20-6-5-R-ADJ-GB: Billet Complete upper Receiver 15.5in KMod 6.5 Grendel 20in Rifle, Black/Stainless Steel, Complete Upper. http://www.opticsplanet.com/odin-wor...ver-ybasr.html

I'll have to wait until the next 15% off (or more) comes back before I buy.

[Lastrites]

Easy choice for me bwtn those two as they are basically the same but one is $300 more dollars and each using the same heart of the upper being the Odin barrel. I'd shell out for the DSA/Odin combo and have enough coin left over for ammo or buying into some reloading equipment.

Vascar - I have built two Grendels with Model1 barrels and both proved to be excellent shooters. The first was a 24" SS just like the one in the link and was the first Grendel that I built. Shot 3/8" groups all day long with 123AMAX at 100yds. Just recently parted with it. To your statementm I am now just getting 8" or 7:1's for my builds but had no complaints about M1S.

For what its worth ive been MORE than happy with my 16" Odin barrel/BCG kit. Well made, and functions perfectly.

Ive sold a couple of the 20" barrels to customers than have been extremely happy with them.

Thanks Guys I appreciate any and all comments about which complete upper to buy.
