Hey guys! I picked up a Ruger AR556 reasonably cheap, and would like to convert it to 6.5 Grendel for hunting purposes. I'm building another from the ground up, so I don't want to "go nuts" with this conversion. Can I simply buy a barrel, mag and bolt, swap them in then presto? Would have to change it to rifle length instead of carbine, but will the MI low profile gas block and gen 2 ss handguard work with a grendel barrel? I'd also like to get a barrel and bolt with correct headspace.. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!
