Considering Piecing together a 6.5 Grendel..your thoughts - tangodown - 04-11-2018
If I was on a budget I would use mil spec upper and lower. You can find a Blem upper for $35 and a Blem lower for $45. The blems are mostly coating issues just ask them and make sure. You can find a blem BCG for $50. Now I can get you a Elftmann trigger for $180. Its adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds with a allen wrench. Then I would put a Carbon fiber wrapped barrel on it. They should be around $550. It will save weight when humping it through the bush. Charging handle blems from Anderson cost $7.50. If you want more info PM me .

Where are you finding a CF barrel of quality that cheap?

I don't know if you would call this cheap, but for the performance I would.

Key word there was "Quality". BSF has yet to forge a reliability, just another company trying to push a CF barrel that has been Swiss cheesed.
Proof Research is the one to meet or beat. They have the reputation, and they don't have to put a bunch of cooling ports in the CF wrap to keep it cool and rigid.
There was another thread on the BSF not too long ago.

CHRISTENSEN ARMS Is who I normally deal with when it comes to CF barrels just thought I would toss up the one I found on Brownell's. If you want quality then money is of no question. Everyone always seems to want that happy tipping point of money(quality) verses not breaking the bank.
