How Far Have We Come? - JASmith - 09-02-2021
Many of us in thus forum remember the days when the sole supplier of Grendels was Alexander Arms or semi-custom sources along with near-clones like the .264 LBC. Today it seems we have a dozen or more makers of Grendel semi-autos, three bolt gun makers plus country in the process of making it a standard round for their armed forces. Thats amazing!
Can you add to this list of manufacturers who offer rifles chambered for the Grendel?

EDITED TO CORRECT STATUS OF BROWNING BLR PRODUCTION
It appears that Henry USA and Browning are the remaining makers of lever action rifles with detachable box magazines. They have not yet offered a model in 7.62x39 or other cartridge with the Grendel rim diameter.

The Savage Impulse straight pull rifle is a fascinating design that couples the speed of a lever gun with potential between-shot stability approaching that of the AR. For now, however, the only available bolt face sizes are for the .308 Win size and the slightly larger .300 Win Magnum based cartridges.

J&T Distributing (aka Double Star), Templer Custom and Sabre defense sold a fair number of 6.5 Grendel rifles, uppers and barrels. Core rifles out of Florida offered 6.5 Grendel products but I dont know how many sales they garner.

Pretty big action for a little cartridge.
The standout, and breakaway Grendel rifle has been the Howa Mini. The launch of that rifle in Grendel really allowed the cartridge to become 'mainstream'.

The Howa finally got CZ to get off their backside and make a 527 Grendel. They already had everything but the chambered barrels with their 7.62X39 carbine and a poll they did years before the Grendel was the top vote getter but they failed to offer it then.

Thanks! I was a victim of the rumor mill.
Only some BLR models are being discontinued. Will edit the post on leverguns.
