Switching a 300 blackout to 6.5 grendel

[Briano23]

Hey all, I have two 300 Blackout's 1 is 16" upper and the other is 10.5" upper both shoot very well but I thought of sacrificing one to become a 6.5 Grendel. I like the 10.5 because of it's weight.
If I convert the 16" I would need a barrel bolt face or bolt and depending in the barrel a gas block and gas tube.
So with a budget of less than $400 what could my options be.
Thanks

What gas length and what size gas block does your 16 inch use?

Look at the group buys, think there are a couple sizes available.

You can reuse the gas block but you will need a barrel, bolt and mags.

I suggest the 16 inch barrel from sixfivearms along with their bolt as well and buy CPD/ Duramag's to feed it.

What do you think of the Monster barrel accuracy and barrel length for hunting.
