Hello from Connecticut - chrisexv6 - 05-11-2021
Hello from my not-so-free state of Connecticut!
Interested in Grendel as an alternative to building a larger format AR10. Have some AR15 format receivers lying around and figured why not try it out.
Pardon any newb questions I ask in the next few weeks or months
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum chrisexv6! I opted to build a 6.5 Grendel instead of going to the AR-10. I now have numerous 6.5 Grendel AR-15s as they are addictive.

I love the idea of the Grendel but noticed that parts seem hard to come by (well, even harder than most other stuff). Im not in a huge rush, but any tips on where to go/stalk/spam to end up with decent parts at decent prices?

Brownells sell Criterion and Faxon 6.5 Grendel barrels along with Brownells house brand which recently were manufactured by Faxon. Brownells has been getting barrels so a good idea to get on the email notification. The Grendel Monster logo barrels manufactured by Green Mountain are made to Blunt Force Traumas spec and sold on SixFiveArms. I bought a 12 and like it plus have a 16 & 18 Faxon barrels from earlier batches. There are 6.5 Grendel bolts on order and will be delivered any day. These are high quality bolts at a very reasonable price.
Here is a link to the SixFiveArms section where you can read about the 6.5 Grendel bolts and barrels from Green Mountain that are on order.
