Ill look into it, I've never messed with building an upper from scratch. Messing with the gas system has always intimidated me for some reason.You should seriously consider the barrel I suggested. They are excellent barrels...
Not as hard as you think. There are some great YouTube videos for building uppers and lowers...especially the ones from Larry Potterfield (Midway USA Founder).Ill look into it, I've never messed with building an upper from scratch.

If you can turn a wrench, you can build an upper. They are very easy. Get an adjustable gas block and you're set. I use this one, but there are plenty of options.Ill look into it, I've never messed with building an upper from scratch. Messing with the gas system has always intimidated me for some reason.

My favorite handguard is this one.
Lightweight, locks up solid, and easy to install because the barrel but doesn't have to be clocked to accept the gas tube. The other advantage is that the tools needed are included.AR15 ATLAS S-ONE M-LOK Handguard

I have all 3 calibers. hunting environment is a key factor. Distance, field-woods, all make a huge difference and that is why I have all. Henry 44; 10.5” ar 300 pistol; 18” ar grendel..I'm starting to plan for next deer season, and I think my son will be ready to hunt with my. He will be almost 10 and is a great shot with his .22 already with open sights. My issue is that currently I only have a 7mm-08, a 12 guage, and a muzzeloader for deer and my son is way way on the small side for his age.
So I am narrowing my options down to a 300 blackout, 6.5 grendel, or a .44 magnum lever gun. I have been leaning towards the 300 blackout since I have a lower ready anyway and I could put a suppressor on it since he doesn't care for loud noises even with ear muffs on. I also like the 6.5 Grendel because eventually he could reach out farther as his confidence builds. The .44 magnum is on the list just because it seems like the standard first deer rifle around here and I've always wanted to add a lever gun to my collection anyway.
Any thought on these or are there any others I should be looking at?
Barnes is a fantastic round in 300boMy second vote would be for the 300BLK. Hornady make a powerhouse subsonic load, the 190gr Sub-X. They and others make stellar supersonic loads. Barnes 110gr TAC-TX is superb.
