Grendel Build Question
Quick question regarding a 6.5 build. Everything I've read has led me to believe a 6.5 upper can be build with standard AR-15 parts with the exception of the bolt and the barrel.
Then I ran across this site. Quote:

Barrel and bolt is all that is required. 5.56 mags work fine... just not as many rounds for a given size.
About $300 is all it takes to get the 2 parts... dependent on the maker and barrel length, you may need a new gas block, new muzzle brake and gas tube too. That last bit is pretty obvious though. Cheers, C
