New to the grendel world. Currently waiting on parts to be shipped, will have to post some pics when i finally get everything in and get it put together. Anyway, I'm excited about this new firearm venture as it will be my first ar15 build. I do have some "rookie" questions pertaining to this particular round. What are the most reliable 10 round and 20 round mags? Adjustable gas block as i might run suppressed in the future? accuracy and speed differences in 16/18" barrels. the list could go on.
new member with rookie questions.

Welcome to the Clan, jwynn481, from the Great Nation of Texas! If you don't already have it, let me encourage you to get Vol's 1 and 2 of the Grendel Handbook that several of the mod's got together and created. Contact BFT or LR..52 for access info. This answers many of the questions that you do or will have. As to mags, that seems to change from time to time as to the good, the bad and the ugly.
What are your goals and what part of the world are you in?

Go to the [ AR15 Box Build ] and look for LRRPF52's posts about Vol's 1 and 2 of the reloading manual. It really covers much more than reloading, kind of the Bible of all things Grendel. PM him for purchasing info. It is worth every cent! The amount of research and documentation contained in them is incredible!

Welcome to the forum jwynn481! There is a loss in velocity going from 18” to 16” 6.5 Grendel but this varies from rifle to rifle and the specific ammunition. In my experience the difference between 18” & 16” is about 40 FPS to about 80 FPS. As stated above the magazines for the 6.5 Grendel can have lemons slip through. I like E-Lander mags but have ASC and the original C Products. My suggestion is to buy your mags from a vendor with good customer service in the event you get a lemon.
