So Ive been putting together list of parts im going to use to put together a 6.5 grendel hunting manual action only side charger (yes I know that makes it kinda not an ar but I have reasons)
Gist of what im trying to accomplish further:
Quiet as can be action when riding bolt forward
As accurate as possible for deer killing (mmm meat that isnt upset by a wound before death)
As easy to use for me as possible based on the fact I run aks
So far:
Parts Ordered:
Barrel: X Caliber Specs below
Configure Your Custom AR-15 Barrel
Barrel Steel: 416R Stainless Steel
AR-15 Chambers: 6.5 Grendel Type II .136"
Caliber & Twist Rate: (6.5mm) .264 1:9 Twist 6 Groove
AR Barrel Length: 22" [+$20.00]
AR Gas System: Mid Length
AR 15 Contours: AR 15 Heavy .980, .875, GB, 850
AR-15 Muzzle / Crown: 5/8"-24 (.243-.358)
Finish: Matte [+$15.00]
AR 15 Fluting: Thermal Fluting Rifle Length HBar or Heavier [+$250.00] (luckily they have a refund discount going on atm so getting 76% back)
Cryogenics: Cryo [+$80.00]
Parts Decided on (unless people have reason good reasons for otherwise):
Hopefully the best stock to help with accuracy and not weight a ton
Hopefully to help quiet the action a bit
In the 13.5" Since it should hopefully look good short with that long barrel and give it an almost barret look?
Parts Decided on style but not exact piece (parts I need help picking out):
Some kind of linear compensator as when hunting none of us use hearing protection
A drop in trigger group with 4ish# pull and 1mm or less uptake before the glass break
Side charging upper. I am caught between a Mega and an Eisen. I thought I had decided on Eisen but then I found Mega which is slightly thicker and thus stronger. Which should I pick? Or another? (I want reciprocating )
Parts I need fully help deciding on:
Lower, Needs to fit perfectly to the side charger chosen, I am a southpaw so ambi or left friendly is prefered. Also if I can get it customized with an engraving, even better. Serial number would be icing.
Whatever small parts I need still?
Bolt and bolt carrier pieces and whatnot (again trying for smooth and quiet) also this would need to be one that will work with either mega or eisens side charging
Not sure what other parts there are past this? My first ar after all
