i see stripped uppers on the palmetto state armory website for around 40. their version of a parts kit for the upper is 22 bucks. Are these good enough?
Yes, those uppers are fine. Then you will need a BCG, Make sure the bolt has the right extractor, a regular 223 one won't work because the 6.5 base is thicker. Most barrel mfg will have a stripped bolt option, but you will need ejector, extractor, rings, and pins, so try and find a complete bolt if you can. Other than the bolt, barrel, and mag spring/follower, it's the same parts as a .223 . Don't forget a barrel wrench, and flash hider. Lots of the barrels have a funky thread size for the flash hiders. I ended up getting my extractor and flash hider from Alexander, which took about 6 weeks.
