Yeah, another "but this one is mine" thread, lol. This will be my first Grendel. I had intended to build it around a Criterion barrel but when BA put their 20" DMR Premium Series stainless barrels on sale for $228 bucks shipped with a free upper, it was like Pavlov ringing the dinner bell. I couldn't get my credit card out fast enough. I have one of their 16" midlength barrels on a 5.56 build I did. It's a great shooter so I'm hoping for good things out of the 6.5G.
Anyway, I'm on a pretty tight budget like a lot of folks but I don't want a cheap rifle either. I've been shopping the sales and so far the parts list looks like this:
BA 20" DMR stainless barrel (rifle length gas)
BA upper
Gamma VG6 762 muzzle brake
Seekins adjustable gas block
Toolcraft black nitride bolt carrier
"Monster" bolt
Aero Gen 2 lower
mil spec buffer tube, standard rifle buffer and chrome silicon spring
Magpul PRS stock (Gen 2) and MOE grip
Still need a hand guard, trigger and some E-lander mags. I'll be scavenging an optic off another rifle to function check this one but ultimately I think I'll go with something from SWFA. I've read such good reviews of their stuff that I've been looking for an excuse to buy something from them. The longest range I have regular access to is about 500 yds so I'm thinking something like their 3-15X42 would work nicely.
Like I said, this is my first Grendel build so any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated
