I finally have my 16" 6.5 Grendel upper completed using the 1st Faxon group buy barrel. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it on paper just yet, nor have I finished it's dedicated lower. (I'm still waiting to purchase a SOPMOD stock)
Parts List:
MEGA Arms Upper Receiver
Tear Drop shaped forward assist
Faxon 16" barrel
SLR Helix 15" handguard
Nitrided gas tube
Vltor clamp on gas block (Should have used a SLR Sentry adjustable, but I had the Vltor on hand.)
Vltor A1 style flash hider

I bedded the barrel using blue Loctite 243 and bedded the gas block using red Loctite 263. I used rocksett on the flash hider to keep from stressing the barrel.

I have a ~18" and a 11.5" Lilja barreled 6.5 Grendels. I'm interested to see how this 16" tube from Faxon performs. (I have little doubt it will out shoot me.)
