Re: New guy here! question about custom rifle builders
The three semi-auto guys I'd look into ordering from would be APA, GAP, and a smaller builder in NC called Templar Consulting. The guy specializes in 6.5grendels. Nonetheless, there's a bunch of options for an AR platform that are more economical than the Grendel. Any reason you're going for the Grendel, or you already have a 5.56 and 7.62 and just want something else?
