I am building a 6.5 upper to use with my precision lower.  The lower I will be using it with has a PRS stock and a SSA-E trigger.  So far what I have got on order for the new upper is:

Barrel- 20" Black Hole Weaponry 1/9 twist, H-Bar profile, threaded, 416 Stainless, 264LBC chamber BARREL
Upper Receiver- SSA (Aero Precision)
BCG- Head spaced for my barrel

What I need to complete:

-Gas key- barrel takes a .750, I am thinking something simple so long as its steel and low profile.  Likely YHM
- Handguard, I wont be running anything on this upper except a bipod.  I am leaning towards either:
  a) ALG Defense, EMR v1 or v2 15"  ALG  or
  b) JP Enterprise MK III Modular Hand Guard  XXL 17.25” OAL  JP OTHER LINK

I am torn with the handguard decision, I like the extra long length of the JP for a few reasons:
- I like having the bipod out towards the muzzle
- I will be running a Vortex Viper PST 6-24 scope, with the sunshade on the scope extends out to the end of a 15" rail.  I am thinking that a longer HG will help will mirage affect on with the scope.  Anyone have any insight on that point?

I like the look of a longer HG.  I like the price of the ALG

  C) Muzzle brake.  I am deciding between:
A)  Precision Armament M11 M11
b) Precision Firearms PF

Anyone with advice on a good brake for a 6.5 build please let me know.
