I have a gunsmith buddy who built a AK in 6.8 and his customer gave him a Mauser barrel to work with.12.5" SBR Grendel - Need Barrel
Surge - Rugged Suppressor
Been a fan of the Grendel from the very beginning and haven't second guessed that choice one time.

Maybe not Grendel at all...

Yeah, Stan, THAT AK is lookin' pretty good.
Biodsl, that article is definitely referencing a unique Russki 6.5x39, which just goes to show that us Americans are not the only ones afflicted with N.I.H. syndrome. There is not a soul created since the world began that can resist fiddling with a cartridge design! Having said THAT, it is my speculation that any AK-12 sold to the U.S. market would be chambered in genuine 6.5 Grendel from Barnaul.:: 6.5 GRENDEL Deer and Targets :: 6mmARC Targets and Varmints and Deer :: 22 ARC Varmints and Targets

Found a thread on a Russian forum, with a post which contained an interesting drawing.
Notice that the author apparently expected the 6.5x39 to have a steel-core projectile:

I used google translate on the title. It reads: 6.5mm intermediate cartridge. Back to basics
Curious that the drawing I posted is not visible now...

P.S. I just noticed that post #60 has a brief comment about the AK-12, which translates as: "Test AK-12 cal. 6.5x39 clearly showed its 1.5 fold advantage in almost all characteristics in comparison with the standard calibers"
P.P.S. I see they have the same kind of discussions as on this forum. Reference post #102:
"But in general the AK-47 should have been done originally in 6.5x39 or 6.5x42"
"Absolutely in dyrdochka! Were in fact the same experience in 1945 about 6.35x42 - but won the economy - more precisely, not to scientific research was then ...
But damn why in 1974, did we step on the same rake as the Americans?! IMHO just 6.35x42 cartridge ideal for assault rifles, even better than 6.5x38 GRENDEL!"

Lead element trace is a phrase used by gunners when tracking their supporting fires in front of a maneuver element, and is a critical task that comes into play during infantry live fire exercises.
The 6.35x42 actually would make a great assault rifle cartridge, since it is flat, with more energy than the 5.56 pills.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO
