I am thinking of going with a JP bolt kit in 6.5G because the BCG I'd like to get for is a SOLGW but is a hundred more and I already have a spare bolt carrier.

I probably should try to score some cases of Hornady Black to stash, use some, and farm brass with. This won't be a high or medium volume rifle, just a spare upper option for my SBR 11.5 in 5.56. This will be done as a mini recce companion upper should the need for a small and handier rifle with more range is needed.

I put a 24” Bartlein 6ARC barrel in my buddy’s seekins rifle for him. The duramags he bought functioned a lot better than the E-Landers if I recall. Always some type of feeding issue occurred damaging the, at the time, precious brass.

That rifle was stacking holes at 500yds easily

I’d like to do a 16”-18” 6ARC in place of a 16” 5.56 I have. I’d like a 16” for compactness but I was looking at some velocity data and an 18” keeps the 108s in the low 2600fps range which still has some ass to it. 2400fps range might not be ideal. But a 16” Proof carbon fiber would make a nice gun to carry around in the woods
