Found a pretty good deal on a 6mm ARC barrel and I already have a 6.5 Grendel bolt carrier group. Should be a nice project while I'm at home helping the wife with her recovery.

    good on you

    what do you mean not be able to keep it long?


    I think I have 3 maybe 4 stripped lowers saad I am not sure but bought them a few years ago and just tucked them away in the safe and uppers I am sure one or two mostly assembled . just falling behind on motivation just waiting on another kick in the butt to get back on them for now too many summer and fall projects I am way behind on . I know they will be 5.56 maybe 300 black out . at this stage in my life I do not want to start another caliber and the whole rounding up ammo for it LOL after I kick off my sons may make change them to what ever new wiz bang new kid on the block ammo 😁

    AR barrels just 'show up' here now and then. I have a 'price point' that triggers a buying reaction. Right now, I'm down to 2(OK maybe 3) stripped uppers and 2 BCG's awaiting barrels. I'm done with the long, heavy, cumbersome uppers and mostly focus on the lighter 'pencil' barrel profiles. I'm not looking for high volume or extreme range but more into light, handy 300 yard capable carbines.
