Another option for a solid entry-level Grendel is to buy a complete OEM AR15 barreled frame with LPK, RET, buffer, recoil spring, BCG, basically a firing frame without any furniture on it.
You can get a Colt or Aero OEM AR15 for $499 to $739. https://www.brownells.com/firearms/r...prod81838.aspx
Pull the 5.56 barrel and bolt and sell them. Aero uses BA QPQ Nitrided barrels, whereas Colt uses Mil-B 11595E 4150 steel with chrome lining. The Colt barrel, bolt, barrel nut, gas block, flash hider, etc. typically sell really well.
Check the receiver face for squareness, square it up if it's off.
Install your choice of 6.5 Grendel barrel/bolt combo from a proven supplier using the build techniques discussed here, paying attention to gas block alignment, gas tube alignment, torque specs, etc.
Add the furniture of your preference.
Top it with optics.
Feed it with quality Grendel mags and enjoy.
