This is what I use on mine and I love it. Zech uses the Blackhawk version. About half the price of the Ergo brand. I might try it out on my next build. Looks like it's more aggressive texturing so not sure I'll like it

The barrel and adjustable gas block are JP Rifles. The barrel is $530 and gas block is $80. I bought earlier than I planned so as to take advantage of Black Friday 10% off. The 6.5 Grendel is pretty good for 400 yds and less on whitetail sized game. That is my intent with it.

By far my favorite grip. I tried some of the more name brand grips and I went back to my el cheapo grip every time.

What bolt and upper receiver?
Bolt came with the barrel; matched set. Upper receiver was one I bought from @Anathollo . I do not remember the name; nothing uber fancy though. The rest of the bolt carrier group is a Palmetto State Armory Nickel Boron BCG. I am probably going to order an aluminum BCG to drop some ounces there too.
If accuracy is not up to par I will go with a "better"upper receiver but honestly I would be amazed if this thing does not shoot beyond my needs. In the end I will have a dedicated magnesium lower receiver for it. At that time the lower will get the "lightweight" works so as to try to get the whole thing at 6 lbs or less.

JP Supermatch™ barrels are manufactured to our highly exacting specifications for superior performance and optimal fit with our components. These barrels are turned from the finest 416R stainless steel and then lead-lapped, button rifled using state-of-the-art equipment and air-gauged to ensure minimal bore diameter run out for peak accuracy. We also make a point of cryogenically treating all of our rifle-caliber Supermatch™ barrels for cold bore shot predictability, minimum thermal drift, outstanding accuracy and extended barrel life.
All Supermatch™ barrels (excepting 9mm) come with an individually head-spaced JP EnhancedBolt™ assembly and can be purchased in either Black Teflon® or one of several stainless finish levels.

My buddy shot a 1" group at 200 yards then a 1.5" group at 300 yards with .223 77gr Black Hills with his JP barrel IIRC. I've been drinking so I may be off a bit but I was amazed at the time. He has a full JP rifle build.

Lower is assembled. Had to order a few more parts though. One was a new bolt catch release button. The one that is on it I don't care for. LOL Second the BCG's fucking firing pin catch cotter pin dealio.. It won't go back in the fucking hole. I can get it in the outside hole using some needlenose but no matter of fucking with it, twisting whatever, will get it in the otherside. I pulled it out and now its starting to spread out a smidge. So I ordered 3 new ones (spares) and one of these PERMA Pin Firing Pin Retaining Pin and one of these http://www.tacfireinc.com/firing-pin-retainer-5-56-9mm--p-809.html Figure if I like them I'll move one to another BCG.
But its all cleaned and assembled. Do have an issue with the selector switch, its not indexing? Its got the spring and detent pin pointed the correct position. But its not catching. I need to take the grip off and fuck with it. Just don't want to do it at the moment. Not sure what I did wrong as it appears correct, probably something simple.

What brand is the selector switch?
And it sounds like you pushed the firing pin in to much when trying to put the cotter pin in. Either that or you need to throw that BCG in the trash...

I bet it put it in backwards!
Its the cotter pin.. I can see its bent out from the first or second time I tried to muscle fuck it into place with some love taps.

Yep.. I guess when I had the receiver upside down I got bass-akwards. Now it works fine.
Ok I thought it was a radian but wanted to make sure (I have one). So that was the advice I was gonna offer since it's a dual position safety.
I got this beauty in the mail! Didn't have much time to play with it as I was unpacking. I know it's expensive (as much as a complete PSA AR) but I'm gonna run the piss outta this. This Variable Mass bolt carrier is meant for AR pistols and suppressed applications as well as 6.5Grendel builds.

Ordered the final bits for my new AR. Picked up a BCG, a nicer charging handle and a Vortex red dot. Found a good deal on it at Brownells. Only thing left are some flip-up BUS... I think. Then of course to wait on Santa to deliver the upper.
Dont know if you bought some already or not.
Magpul Gen2 MBUS Front & Rear Back-Up Sights Set $49.99 w/ Code
I always recommend spending just a little bit more and getting the Magpul Pro's. I've had both sets and definitely prefer the Pro's.
