    New 6.5 Grendel build suggestions

    Building my first, after buying multiple factory 5.56 AR's in the past. I have a new billet lower already. Looking for suggestions on stock, lower parts and trigger. Looking at a complete Odin billet upper with 20" barrel, BCG and charge handle. I'd rather buy a complete quality upper than build one honestly, so if there are any others you'd suggest I'll look into them. Any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.

    Larue. For the price it’s a no-brainer. And having the UU kit will hold its value much better than a comparable Frankenstein build.

        The heart of any build is the barrel. If you want to buy a complete then Larue or Odin build good uppers.

        I like to build my own as I go with much better barrels. I like the Satern Cut rifled barrel.

        But to build a match grade upper you will be spending more money. Barrel alone is $600 and then you add in everything else. Total cost for the one I just built for my dad was about $1200.

                That's what got me as well but I talked to Larue on Monday and they told me 6-8 weeks on the UU kit. I told him about the shipping time deal and he said they should probably put some kind of notice on lead times and not shipping times. Heck I have a pile of ammo, magazines and new glass just sitting in the safe waiting!

                    My 2 cents: Krieger Barrels are the best of the best the end. Bought my complete upper from Precision Firearms. Have been extremely happy with it.

                    Not cheap, but the quality is rocksolid; has impressed anyone who's shot it.
