That looks like might be a lancer mag in it? Checked their site and didn't see anything for grendel yet. I did find this video below from enforce tac 2025(month ago?) and interestingly they mentioned that the British may be interested in Grendel also. Bill Alexander was originally from the UK if IIRC. Maybe coincidence, maybe not? Is NATO moving from 5.56 to 6.5 grendel? Either way the idea of an MCXish rifle in grendel is a pretty interesting proposition. I was looking at throwing a 338 arc barrel in a gifted pof p415 upper but it might still get a 12" grendel barrel. Probably both at some point lol.

Yup. That photo is clearly a 5.56 NARP. It has the best aspect from which to see their upper receiver and handguard mate-up.
It’s semi-monolithic, which I’ve always liked.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

Oh hey. I just noticed this other thread started back on the 8th under the "ARs" sub-forum, same topic.
Beretta, SwissP, GIGN, and the 6.5 Grendel... - 6.5 Grendel Forum : : For the 6.5 Grendel AficionadoPretty cool that SwissP ammo is making three 6.5 Grendel loads for the Beretta NARP (New Assault Rifle Platform): FMJ, Styx (looks like a bonded tactical bullet), and Target (for precision work). The whole shebang is for France's GIGN. It's kinda amazing to me that GIGN is adopting an AR-style rifle in 6.5 Grendel in 2025. I'm
It was speculated by m796rider there that it might use the new Magpul 25 ICAR mags, designed for the 6mm ARC:
Unfortunately these are oversize mags by normal AR standards. And I think the NARP will/does have an oversize mag well We won't be able to use them in our existing ARs. Bummer.
