    Upper Receiver recommendation

    Looking for my first 6.5G build. Actually this would be my first build f any kind. As I look through the offerings they seem to be all over the board price wise. I am looking at a forged receiver and just looking for something that will give me a problem free build.

    My last two builds have used Anderson and a couple before that were PSA. A Friend has a lapping tool but the last two Anderson uppers needed very little lapping. I’ved used DPMS, RRA and Double Star without issue other than lapping the end of the upper so I have a square surface for the barrel upper fit. I usually buy upper and lowers on sale, I can remember when stripped lowers were much more expensive than today.

        I've switched also, nothing but BCM. The fit on every barrel I've tried is very snug, or requires heat. I also like the dry film lube on the inside, they seem to fit better on most of my lowers also. No lapping needed and they are square.

                The 18" Faxon barrels are in the final stages of production and should be shipping within the next couple of weeks.

                Gentlemen, Esteemed Warriors, and Vile Unwashed of the Horde, here is the official kick-off for our group buy of mid-length 18" 6.5 Grendel barrels manufactured by our esteemed partner, Faxon Firearms. Hunters find this length a great compromise between velocity and handling. These barrels feature a medium-light profile


                I believe the group buy bolts are also being shipped.

                  T-12 you're not going to find a better deal for those than the GB's - IMO.

                    I love my group buy bolt.

                    I wrapped it in a NIB WMD carrier I pieced out from Primary Arms.
