What is the reason behind 9/16 - 24RH muzzle threads on some of the Grendel barrels ?
Are there any drawbacks to 5/8 - 24 muzzle threads on a Grendel ?
My searching did not yield any definitive answers.

1) To avoid the accidental use of 5.56 muzzle devices.
2) None that I can find, other than being aware what is avaiable and effective for the Grendel.
“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”

The 9/16x24 muzzle devices (in my experience) are smaller diameter. I have a Smith Vortex on an AA Shaw barrel (9/16) and it blends in nicely. I have a 5/8x24 YHM flash suppressor on another barrel and it looks like a huge weight hanging off the end (more than an extra 1/16"). I have no experience with other brands, so I have no idea if they are similar.

Yep, I'm deducting that 9/16" is more "in scale" with Grendel. Maybe some of these are 5.56 pieces reworked.Originally Posted by Clod Stomper
I could see where a compensator for .308 (5/8") might not be as effective for 6.5
