Product description
AT3™ 6.5 Grendel 20″ Assembled Forged Upper – 2A Basics ASAL 15″ Handguard – No BCG/Charging Handle – Faxon Barrel
Built to Order – Ships Within 3 Business Days
This assembled upper delivers a precision-oriented platform for 6.5 Grendel builds focused on long-range accuracy without breaking the bank. This is the foundation for shooters building a hunting rifle, long-range precision setup, or competition gun where you need the ballistic performance of 6.5 Grendel with a budget-conscious handguard that still delivers on quality. The 20-inch Faxon Firearms Match Series heavy fluted barrel maximizes velocity and accuracy, while the 15-inch 2A Basics ASAL handguard provides M-LOK mounting on all sides with a patent-pending Anti-Slip/Anti-Lift attachment system that ensures a rock-solid fit.
The Faxon 20-inch Match Series barrel in 6.5 Grendel features 416-R stainless steel with 5R hybrid button rifling that reduces projectile deformation for superior accuracy. Salt bath nitride finish inside and out provides durability and corrosion resistance, while the rifle-length gas system delivers smooth cycling and reduced recoil. The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes heavier long-range projectiles, and the polished 11-degree target crown ensures consistent accuracy. The heavy fluted profile adds rigidity for precision while reducing weight. The 2A Basics ASAL handguard weighs just 10 ounces without mounting hardware and features M-LOK slots on all sides, anti-rotation tabs, and a shaved Picatinny top rail for weight savings while maintaining full functionality.
Built on AT3’s forged upper receiver with forward assist and dust cover installed, this setup pairs a low-profile .750 steel gas block and stainless gas tube for reliable function. The AT3 birdcage flash hider effectively reduces muzzle flash and gives the muzzle a clean, finished look.
Note: Does not include bolt carrier group or charging handle. The upper is shipped fully assembled.
