Has anyone tried one of these with the 6.5 G? I don't see where it says it is compatible but should be...

Have not seen anyone use one yet, contact the company and verify before you order.

I have... Emailed and called. No answers.

The biggest question is the bolt/bcg, since it seems it can be set for left or right side ejection. Is it proprietary, how does the extractor work on left side discharge.
Seems to be a new product so will have to wait for reply from them or roll the dice and find out for yourself.

Yes, I saw all that on the site BUT why wouldn't the 6.5 Grendel work if the .223 all the way to the .458 socom works? Weird

That's the company that donates to Democrats, correct?

Oh crap, I have no idea....
They do make hi capacity mags though so that would be weird...

Donates to Democrats AND thinks mags should be restricted.

Looks cool but after reading it's description on their site I wouldn't spend my money on it.
6061 that's not good for a target i.e. longer barrel setup. And the proprietary wording is a major turn off.
Joebobs has one that uses any bcg on the market and is made from 7075 and cut to be thicker and stiffer if needed for a target setup. And it's a left Side nonrecriprcating sidecharger.
Same lil trap door at the rear of the upper that this one has.

Are you fighting of hordes of radical Muslims in the Dan's of the middle east? If not we'll then proper care and cleaning makes this a non issue.
