    6.5 Grendel Build

    I have been wanting to build a 6.5 Grendel for a while. I originally thought about putting a 6.5 upper on one of my M&P 15 Lowers, but i have decided to sell the M&M 15 instead. I am about ready to pull the trigger on the upper and lower and thought i would got some opinions about my choices here. I am thinking about a Spikes Tactical Warthog w/enhanced kit M4 lower, and a Grendel Hunter 22" 6.5 w/16.5" free floated KeyMod hand guard. What do y'all think?

    I have 3 Spikes guns and love them......I am pretty shocked a complete lower is $525.00. Wow.
    I run a key mod rail on my Spikes ST22, the gun is a tack driver.
    Question everything!

    I gotta agree with 'Rude on his assessment. But, Get what makes you happy.
    My 6.5 isn't a Grendel It sure puts a smile on my face though.

    A friend of mine has a Grendel upper he might sell. It's all high grade components though, so it will be high!

    See ya

    Go for it, You can always add a better trigger group and parts later. I would go with their bolt with the upper though.
