Further on the low-drag pipedream

The 6.5mm Grendel AR15 uppers are available. A little pricey perhaps, but available. We at WUTT! prefer the metric convention to the SAE, BTW, but showed deference to the developers. Since it seems everyone else has taken up the metric name, so shall we.

Though we'd be pleased as peas if a plainjane fluted heavy barrel were offered. We have the punches and wrenches to fit it to our existing upper. Otherwise, we're just changing the caliber on something that will still be an AR15 tomorrow morning. The same charging handle in the wrong location, the same gas system. Maybe they could borrow HK's op-rod driven gas system for the M4? And work the charging handle into the upper handguard?
