So I have been really looking into starting a build for a 6.5 Grendel and I’m not much of a AR build pro so I really don’t know where to look for good deals other than Midway, Brownells and local places or the lovey GunDeals.com email I get from time to time. One thing that started my interest is I can get a PSA upper complete through gundeals and they’re close to $340. Whether these are good or not not sure. So here are some of the questions I have if you seasoned vet gun builders and 6.5 G gurus may have some pointers.
I have a 223 AR, this is going to supplement my occasional need for an AR platform for a all around cartridge and my RRA 223 will stay at my moms for her to use for coyotes and such.
6.5 Grendel questions:
Are the PSA complete uppers OK? Don’t need a 1000 yrd tack driver. Just a killing machine.
Barrel length? Thinking 18”? Pros/cons?
Twist? Seeing 7-9 but not sure what to get. I would rather lighter bullets than heavy.
Parts shopping? Good places?
Aero/Anderson? Decent stripped lowers or should I go more toward Spokes?
I’ll get more as I go along. This should help kick start this thing.
