So I just priced up an upper because I wanted a 20in upper and i wanted some quality to it. Turns out I'll be spending about around 2k to put it all together! I don't think I have ever even seen 2k in person lol.
Here's my parts list:
Aero precision stripped upper $80 https://www.primaryarms.com/aero-precisi...r-ap501603
topographical dust cover hatch $20 https://trashpandatactical.com/shop/ols/...dust-cover
Forward Controls Design Forward Assist $50 https://www.primaryarms.com/forward-cont...ist-dimple
Breek Arms Warhammer AR-15 Ambidextrous Charging Handle $50 https://www.primaryarms.com/breek-arms-w...lter=1star
MAGNESIUM HYPER-LIGHT M-LOK HANDGUARD AR-15 $400 https://www.vsevenweaponsystems.com/magn...rd-ar15-11
"BARREL, 6.5 GRENDEL, RECON, 20"", FLUTED, STAINLESS, GLASS BEAD, 1-8" $305 https://shopwilsoncombat.com/BARREL-65-G...RCRG20FT8/
Wilson Combat Gas Block $40 https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Gas-Block-L...o/TR-LPGB/
Armor Tuff barrel coating $40 https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Armor-Tuff-...o/AT-BLGU/
Melonite Gas Tube $20 https://www.primaryarms.com/aero-precisi...fle-length
Aero Precision BCG $140 https://www.huckleberryarms.com/AERO-PRE...00725c.htm
Primary Arms SLx 3-18x50mm FFP Rifle Scope - Illuminated ACSS APOLLO .308/6.5 Grendel Reticle $500 https://www.primaryarms.com/pa-3-18x50mm...08-reticle
3-18x50 Sunshade $30 https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms...-dmr-scope
Warne scope mount $150 https://www.amazon.com/Warne-Scope-Mount...B00TZHQTSG
Streamlight 88059 ProTac Rail Mount 2 $120 https://www.amazon.com/Streamlight-88059...a82fda505f
I'm thinking about saying screw it and just getting the larue match upper but I really wanted a 20in barrel and I don't see as much praise outside of reviews on the website, or any other reviews for that matter. I'm also a little skeptical of the 1/7 twist rate for 6.5 grendel. Use cases would be for hunting and general use.
Any help on making a good upper or just telling me that the larue is indeed worth it over building it would be much appreciated.
