Looking for the following in either 6.5 Grendel or 6.8 SPC (224 valkyrie distant 3rd):

1) 20 inch barrel (or greater, preferably)
2) <$500
3) Complete upper

I’m possibly open to other calibers, but I’m not a handloader so factory ammo availability (in like a year) is important to me. I want bigger bullets and more energy than 5.56. A quality barrel is by far the most important factor to me.

I do have some decent trade fodder:
1) Ruger American Ranch in 5.56
2) FNX Tactical 45 (local to Western CO preferred)

Finding a complete upper with a quality barrel for under $500 in today's environment might be a real challenge. Heck, even before all this started that would have been a challenge. I sold a complete upper in 6.8SPC with an ARP barrel for $1500.

But if you find a 6.8 and need ammo, let me know. I've got quite a bit.

I have a 6.5 grendel barrel, bolt and ammo that should get you a good build south of 500. Check out my recent posts

I will certainly look further into Accuracy Systems and consider your package.

Given the market I'm not expecting to find something premium for $500, maybe something used that is better than what I could get new at $500. I'm also not opposed to going over $500.

Which/how much 6.8 ammo are you selling?

I have opened my mind to a 20 inch 556/223 Wylde at this point.

Im also not dead set in $500 but probably wouldn’t spend more than $650 shipped.
