Sorry folks for an embarrassing simple question but here it goes.
I have this Bushmaster XM15-E2S in 5.56 but I want to convert it to either 6.5 Grendel or 6.5 ARC.
I’ve never done a conversion before but is it as simple as buying an upper assembly with a bolt carrier group and just getting 6 ARC mags? I know nothing about the guts of an AR except removing the BCG to clean. Don’t know anything about gas blocks etc.
I’m a reloader, bolt action guy but considering turning this Bushmaster into a box blind, tree stand deer rifle.
