Like many, first 6.5 Grendel

[FLshooter]

If you don’t follow FLshooter’s advise I’d recommend a Wilson Combat 22 inch 6.5 Grendel barrel or a Criterion 22 inch barrel from Brownell’s. Either barrel is right at $300 and it is not difficult to find someone to assemble an upper. The heart of any AR-15 is the barrel, trigger and optic. The Criterion and Wilson Combat both have top notch reputation. If you still want an assembled upper I suggest you check out Lilja. rebby on this forum can build you an upper using a Lilja barrel. rebby is running a group buy on Lilja barrels on this forum. rebby can order a barrel directly from Lilja and assemble you an upper.

Spot on with the Wilson combat and criterion!I own both of those barrels. Several criterian. If you don’t want to wait 20+weeks with Mark and no replies,,one of those pre-fit barrels will work well. Every one of my Wilson and criterion are sub moa shooters.
