If it shoots as good as it looks, for $349 (Upper w/ BCG & Charging handle); I will be very happy.

Adj gas block, very nicely machined Midwest Industries rail, BCG is laser etched with "6.5 Grendel" which is a nice surprise.

I slapped it on my Punisher SBR lower and put a SpitFire AR I had sitting around on it.
I am thinking of making an all FDE pistol out of it with a Maxim brace and a 1-6x ACSS Scope down the road....
But, it does make a great addition to my 18 inch for sure as it sits.

Very nice, looks like yours came with an adjustable gas block. Be sure and post how your PSA shoots!

Congrats! It certainly does look nice. And I'll echo Vascar; we need a range report!

I'm interested to see how yours cycles with 90gr TNT Federal AE if you have any.
With my Maxim PDW brace and the powerful action spring it has, they will cycle the action suppressed, but not unsuppressed in my Faxon group buy 12" barrel.
I suspect there is a chance they will work with a standard carbine spring and buffer.
Mine runs the 123gr American Gunner all day as if they were made together unsuppressed.
It runs everything so far suppressed, including 120gr Federal AE OTM Match.

I don't own any 90gr AE.... stuff if harder to find than a rainbow colored unicorn around here.
I will run some Hornady SST, Black, and American Gunner thru it this weekend though.
I have the H3 buffer and flatwire buffer spring in this SBR lower right now.
Eventually when I build my pistol lower I will opt for other parts I am sure.

I have a 12" Grendel (faxon match series gunner) and run 90gr TNT in it without any problems. It has a SLR AGB and a Geiselle Super 42 buffer/spring. SBA3 brace.
Wasn't the gas port a touch smaller in the GB barrels?

I looked at these as well but didn't order one. Thinking about getting the Faxon barrel and building an upper but that price look good.
How does it shoot?

That is a good write up. Thanks for the link, although it is probably going to cost me more money!
