    moved from build thread rebarrel ruger american

    Not sure whether to put this here or in the Bolt action area. Has any one re-barreled a Ruger American 7.62x39 to 6.5 Grendel? This is the one that uses the Mini 30 magazines.

    I have not. What is it you're hoping to achieve? Rebarrel with a high end barrel?

    If you're just wanting a Ruger American in Grendel, it would be a lot simpler to purchase one. My search of Gunbroker shows 142 for sale, so they're available.

      Thanks for the answers, pre-fit barrels are available and I have the needed tools. I really enjoy my American. I tried feeding 6mm ARC and they seem to feed as well as the 7.62x39, largest mag I have is a 10 rd. Now to decide between 6.5 Grendel and another 6MM ARC. First world problems!

        I have a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Grendel and love it. Most accurate rifle I've ever had = I'm 80 and have been shooting and reloading since I was 12

              I do not know of any that have rebarreled the Ruger American to 6.5 Grendel but know several that have to 300 HAM'R. They said it was not bad at all to do.

                Wow, awesome upgrades for the Gen 2. Wonder what the cost difference will be like vs Gen 1.

                  The standard 20 inch barreled version is also to be released next year in 6.5 Grendel and 6mmARC as well
