So I have finally started collecting parts to put my 6.5 together. I have dies and brass on the way and am very close to ordering the barrel after I decide exactly what I want. I can't decide between 20", 22" or 24" at this point.

I seriously need to steal my camera back from my sister because the iPhone doesn't take great low-light pictures.

So far I have a
- TNW billet upper and lower
- YHM diamand rifle length rail and end cap
- Noveske Switchblock
- YHM QD flash hider for my Phantom 7.62

I will continue to post up pics as I get more parts and hopefully finish this thread off with final pics and range report. Be patient though it isn't going to be a super quick project as it gets expensive fast and I'm saving cash for each phase.

To be honest I'm afraid to think about that just yet :)

I'm doing most everything match grade and high end so a lot. But, I also get some good deals here and there.

I'm guessing before optics and not including the suppressor somewhere in the $1800 range to include dies and brass to start me reloading for it.

I'm almost for sure I want a nightforce 5.5-22 on top of it.

My plans at this time that are subject to change:
Harris bipod with Larue QD
Magpul Miad grip
Magpul PRS stock

not sure on trigger group yet
I'm almost ready to order the LW barrel with 5/8x24 threads.

I'm building the upper first because I can always throw this upper on my AR as I save to finish the lower for this.
