    Just checking in...

    I love the 6.5mm guns (my Tikka 260 rem is a sweetie) and I enjoy putting together ar uppers, so I thought, "why not the 6.5 Grendel?" I have a lot to learn, so I doubt if I will be posting much, but I thank you all in advance for your shared knowledge.

    "Why not the 6.5 Grendel?"

    AR Grendels seem to multiply till they are everywhere.

    I don't know about bolt action Grendels yet.

      bj - bolt Grendels are not AS prolific as their MSR cousins, but ....... ( if you leave 'em in the dark long enough, strange things still happen ).

        Is that how the side charging, non gas operated versions came into being?

          Could be! Darwin was right, he just asked the wrong question.

            I think side charging versions came into being because people missed their M14s.

            If you mean me specifically, then I have 2 side chargers which I thought could be operated manually.

            They do, if you like to mortar the fired cases out.

            Manually operated AR15s need some type of primary extraction, like a bolt rifle, at least in 6.5 Grendel.
