Here is my parts list for my first 6.5 build.
- Mega billet ambi matching upper and lower
- Saturn 20" SS HBAR contour (1.00" under handguards, 0.750" under gas block to threads) Teflon coated and threaded either 5/8 or 9/16 (which is better?)
- wanted a Noveske SWITCHBLOCK but they don't have a 6.5 one so going with Seekins adjustable gas block
- Midwest Industries 12" Gen 2 T- series FF Rail
- Geissele SSA trigger
- Ergo Sure Grip
- Bravo Company Mil spec buffer tube
- MAGPUL ACS Stock
- Diamondhead BUIS
- Harris HBRS 6-9" bipod w/ Rota-Pod w/ Schuster quick adjust lever
- YHM black plated rifle length gas tube w/ pin
- KNS anti rotation pins
What I have not sourced are the following:
- SS bolt carrier
- buffer and spring
- upper receiver parts kit
- lower parts kit (preferably less trigger)
- thread protector (later replaced with AAC blackout 7.62 suppressor mount, when I have a suppressor)
- Mags
Please let me know what you think and if I am forgetting anything! I want a true 1/2 MOA gun that is not so heavy I cannot carry it for rare hunting trips. Saturn suggested I would want a medium contour with either a .750 or .875 gas block, any thoughts if what I am wanting is better or worse than their suggestion. In addition, they told me the wait on a barrel is 6-8 months. I want a cut rifled barrel that's why I am going with them over AA, but are there makers as good (or better) with less wait times? One thing I was also thinking about was having the barrel target crowned (suggestions on angle welcome) as I will be using a thread protector for now but switching to a flash hider for a can in the future, will this be any benefit?
Thanks everyone for all of your input! I promise pics when as parts come in and range reports!
