    6.5G AR questions

    Re: 6.5G AR questions Yeah, RGuns shows them as being in-stock; I will give them a call tomorrow. I will most likely order their bolt and a few accessories, but am holding out for a carrier like the slabsider I got from Fulton Armory. I know, I know, I am being ultrapicky for a time like...

    midway shows flattop uppers in stock

    Re: midway shows flattop uppers in stock I called them a few days back and got no answer (5 or 6 times). Then, I called Brownells and got a real live person to answer on the first try. They said DPMS uppers are due in early February, so I ordered two and a few boxes of SMKs. Bullets...

    6.5G AR questions

    Re: 6.5G AR questions I gave up and bought a BHW barrel; 20" for <$300 from Tactical Ammunition. A month or two wait and not a true Grendel, but I got tired of waiting on AA. Thanks for the honesty Spearhead, I might end up "forcing" myself to get a 260 bolt gun with the blank just setting...

    6.5 Grendel barrel there's not on left on earth!

    Re: 6.5 Grendel barrel there's not on left on earth! I called blackholeweaponry; about a 2 month wait. They are 6.5/264LBCs though. It is the shortest waitlist I found after getting an "I don't know when we will start taking orders again" from Alexander Arms. Good luck on your build, and...

    6.5G AR questions

    Re: 6.5G AR questions Damn it, gunsmithing fees would cost more than a new barrel, if I use the blank for the Grendel AR build. I should have done the math first, but got too excited when I saw a 6.5 blank for less than $200. If you guys have any recommendations for a cheap way to make it...

    6.5G AR questions

    Re: 6.5G AR questions In between the $60 Pmags and $575 stripped lowers, I found a Lothar Walther 26" stainless blank for $180 out-the-door at today's gun show. I was thrilled and snapped it up quick, but now I need it drilled, crowned, threaded, etc. Any recommendations for a quick...

    Whats a Good Entry Level AR Scope

    Re: Whats a Good Entry Level AR Scope I got a Primary Arms mount and Millett DMS scope for about $250, and couldn't be happier. They also sell an offset mount for a reflex optic to be mounted on your scope. You can't beat it for less than $300.

    30 Round PMAGs Showing In stock Windowed and Non.

    Re: 30 Round PMAGs Showing In stock Windowed and Non. I wish I would have read further in this thread before I created an account with those douchebags. I saw "Pmags in stock" and ordered 10, went to check out and they wanted $100+ in S/H. I doubt their reputability as well, because if you...

    6.5G AR questions

    Re: 6.5G AR questions I found the ER Shaws on Model1's site, but >$400 for a threaded one? I figure if I have to spend top dollar, I should get exactly what I want. I don't know if it's snobbery; I think I'm just cheap. Also, do you guys recommend the 24 inchers? I have a 24" LR-260, so I...

    6.5G AR questions

    Re: 6.5G AR questions RGuns doesn't show any 6.5 barrels, but does show bolts and carriers. I went on Satern's site and they are asking about $450 for bolt and barrel too (Yet, they list the bolt as "Out of stock"). Next, I plan on looking at if ER Shaw is offering anything special. I am...

    6.5G AR questions

    Re: 6.5G AR questions Well, I ordered the mags (20 rounders) from AA, but it was their rifle barrel kits that they didn't want to share. As for CSS, they want >$450 for barrel and bolt; that's cut-rifling barrel money (I am thinking Krieger or something similar)! Any better options out...

    6.5G AR questions

    Re: 6.5G AR questions My Google-fu has turned up the following: Tactical Ammunition $285 for a threaded heavy 264LBC barrel; Black Hole Weaponry $300 for the same in a "match-grade" set-up; and JTD is at $355 with the 6.5 bolt. Let me know what you think is the better deal; or throw in...

    6.5G AR questions

    Re: 6.5G AR questions Appreciate the input fellas. I was about to "add to cart" when Alexander Arms decided not to accept any more orders. A minute or two from checkout, darn my luck; I was really liking the idea of a matched bolt and barrel. I called Les Baer, Model 1 Sales, Alexander...

    6.5G AR questions

    So, I am sold on the 6.5, especially in the AR platform. I just put together a 24" heavy-barrelled DPMS LR-260. I also have an 18" 5.56. Since ARs are like crack to me, I started to jones for a Grendel. Long story short, I got a Grendel-marked AA lower, LPK, mags, and ammo and then the...

    Rifle Scopes DPMS scopes??

    Anybody else receive the newsletter about their CQB 1-4X and other scopes? Either my Google-fu is getting weak, or there isn't much to say about them. For over $100 I guess it's not a BSA throw-away. Anybody have any experience/insight/comments on these? I wonder who is actually making them. -JA

    LR-260 buffer question

    Re: LR-260 buffer question Thanks, I will post them FS. I happened to pick up a nice buffer/spring combo on a Black Friday special. It's just a matter of getting all of the stuff I want to sell photographed, described, and posted.
