Thinking of exploring this caliber but can’t seem to find a manufacturer for complete 6 ARC uppers. Anyone knows a reputable source? Thanks in advance!
Who makes a 6 ARC upper?
- Thread starter Islas82
- Start date
Odin Works, CMMG, DTech, AR15Parts, Sanders Armory, Stag Arms, Ballistic Advantage, Satern…
This should get you started!

Thanks I did see a couple them but only Grendel upper would come up, should dig deeper.
It's easy enough to DIY if you can't find what you want
It's basically one nut to hold the barrel on and a few roll pins
Lowers are more interesting

Pardon my ignorance but I can also just change the barrel and BCG on my existing AR (5.56) upper right?
...and mags
FWI hear 6ARC takes different mags than .223
I'm fixin to go down this 6ARC route if my right eye clears up.

This or pick your own quality components and assembly them yourself or have someone else do it. Buying run of the mill off the shelf upper and rifles for a precision gasser usually doesn’t wind up with a happy ending.
I have a complete APF rifle, but they also do uppers only. They have them with SS Proof barrels and I believe CF Proof barrels. Top quality.

Built my upper:
CLE Bartlein 4groove 24", +2" gas system, Superlative adjustable gas block, matched bolt, Aero slick upper, Aero extended ATLAS S-ONE M-LOK Handguard, whatever nitride bolt carrier, whatever charging handle, Strike polymer port cover, picked up a few RTB nitride bolts as spares.
What they said, it's much nicer to build with your components exactly as you want than to replace components later and have a drawer of parts.

Have an AR-15 that you don’t shoot much anymore? As said earlier, swap out the barrel, bolt, and mags, and you have a new rifle!
I had a Barrett REC-7 in 300 BO that I didn’t shoot much anymore. Put in a Proof CF 18” and a bolt. Weighs in at less than 7#. Lighter and has less recoil. Love it

I wouldn't use Nitride treated bolts if it was me. They are softer than gas carburized bolts and the lugs will compress over time increasing headspace..
Grendel Hunter makes turn key uppers where you can pick from a number of options for colors and handguard length. They’re using a Liberty barrel from Satern.
I used them to build a 6.5 Grendel upper and have had good results with that gun. However, knowing what I know now, 3 years later, I’d have bought parts from a number of manufacturers and assembled it myself.
