I'm a little curious about a 6.5 Grendel SBR OR maybe a 16".

Who makes these type uppers or sells their barrels and Bolts etc??

Would a shorty 6.5 be worth it?? It seems you'd have a sweet short rifle with much better punch than 556.

I sent off my paperwork and also my Lower to be engraved... now i need to make the final choices!

Thanks for any thoughts!

AA sells a 10.5" Upper and Satern Machining might be able to make you a SS barrel for a SBR...the following has a write up about the 10.5" Grendel http://www.65grendel.com

Scenars run at 2180 fps from the 10.5" and Bill has said that it can reach out to 600 yards like pretty easy.

You might want to check with Terry Williams at Superior Arms. Superior Arms makes all sorts of AR-15 uppers when requested. You can reach Terry @: 319-523-2016 or e-mail them @: sales@superiorarms.com . Superior Arms makes a super nice S-15 rifle which is another way of saying AR-15/M-4 rifles. Superior is located in Iowa north of Burlington, Ia. Superior Arms also makes parts and pieces for other firearms companies and proto-type firearms for the military to test.:)
