Dudes With 6.5 CM Experience, Looking for Input

[diggler1833]

I've assembled (9) ARs to this point from the ground up, and generally enjoy the process. I possess all of the necessary tools and equipment for both large frame and small builds.

Where build #10 is taking me though is into new territory for me...specifically I have in hand a 6.5 CM, steel Proof barrel, 22", with +2" gas, and JP enhanced bolt. It'll be going in an Aero (ewww) M5E1 set with 15" enhanced handguard. I got the whole set for $360 because it is in a fugly color and was a blem...nothing a little Krylon can't fix.

If I'm running the (most likely) SA AGB, are there any concerns with certain buffers and springs that I should know of and avoid? I have zero experience with the Creed, but my last .308 runs like a champ. I do intend on running a carbine stock and not fixed.

Admittedly, it has been about 3 years since I fully assembled an AR. So if there are cerain parts manufacturers these days who stand out in a good (or even bad) way, I'd love to know where to look, and where to avoid.

Not looking for the most hard-core parts, but don't mind spending a little more to get higher quality materials.

Much appreciated for any insight.

JP has some heavy tuneable silent capture buffer springs that i run in mine however mine is not carbine tube so idk on that .

Don’t buy a carbine length receiver extension. Go with the Vltor RE-A5 extension which will allow you to use standard carbine length buffers with a rifle spring. Use an H3 buffer

A JP high pressure bolt is almost a must have for a 6.5 creedmoor. Beyond that, as far as function, all DPMS pattern or all Armalite pattern and the rest sort of handles itself.

Yup high pressure JP bolt and springs you will be aight

Sweet. Appreciate the input gents. I did the JP bolt when I got the Proof barrel since Proof stated that they guaranteed headspace with that particular bolt.
