My first AR. I have shot bolt/lever guns and reloaded for many, many years but new to the AR.
My son encouraged me to build an AR and we worked on it together using the following components.
Barnes Precision lower
Ballistic Advantage premium 18" fluted barrel
Ballistic Advantage bolt group
Alexander Arms 6.5 Grendel Marked stripped upper receiver
BCM Gunfighter Ambidextrous operating handle
STNG 15" VYPR handguard
Vortex Diamondback Scope 4x12 mounted in an Aero ultra light mount
Magpul Stock/Grip
I plan on upgrading the trigger but otherwise I am pretty happy. The rifle shoots better than I do... I plan on reloading for it so look forward to reading through the forum's collected wisdom on reloading for 6.5 Grendel.
I don't hunt anymore so this is primarily a range gun.
