So I started my first 6.5 Grendel build a little while ago, and it's progressing, but right now it's just a matter of waiting on the barrel and forearm. I ordered one of the 20" BHW barrels and a couple of mags from Mark at PF, and a 15" AP Customs front end. Hopefully everything arrives before the end of June; I've been waiting for some stuff to finish a 300 BLK SBR for coming up on a year, and it's pretty frustrating. The Grendel build started out as more of an afterthought when I ended up with almost all the spare parts to build an upper, and now I'm more excited about it than I am the Blackout. I sold the forearm I initially intended to use since the gas block I have wouldn't fit underneath, and ended up getting a different upper than my spare, so it's costing a lot more than I initially planned, but a little OCD never killed very many people.
I'll be using a Seekins billet lower that I already built out for another rifle as a host, but I'll probably migrate the new upper onto a dedicated lower at some point, assuming my wife doesn't kill me for going over budget first. This forum has been an amazing resource, thanks to everyone who contributes.
