That happens a lot in America, the Government stepping on some inventors nuts to protect the good-old-boys already in the Club! I just saw a news flash thingy that popped up on my screen that the Serbian Army was in the final testing phase and was all but certain of adopting the latest version of the AK chambered for the 6.5 Grendel. They call it the 6.5 x 39, but CIP standard's for the 6.5 x 39 are identical (?) to the SAAMI standard 6.5 Grendel. I also read several days ago that the Russian military is now exporting the latest AK's chambered in the 6.5 Grendel, Hmm? I am not an expert on Russian military weapons, but I believe that they have a belt/clip feed light machine gun in 7.62 x 39. If so then the short case length of the Grendel would not be a problem. Wouldn't that knock the rag off the bush? Bill Alexander and others develop the Grendel and the rest of the world adopts it as their military round.
