What manufacturers would you like to see add 6.5 Grendel to their line-up? - LRRPF52 - 08-04-2023
I was thinking about what AR-15 manufacturers would do well to add 6.5 Grendel to their product line.
Off the top of my head, Ive always wondered why LMT hasnt done it with their versatile MRP and enhanced BCG.
A 6.5 Grendel barrel/bolt combo would be very welcome from LMT I think. Their MARS rifle is pretty slick:

Another company that I think would be cool to offer in 6.5 Grendel would be Noveske, especially the Ghetto Blaster:

Daniel Defense would be another interesting option, especial like this:

I would love to see a Swiss-made AR-15 in 6.5 Grendel too, with all of their beautiful metallurgy, barrel work, coatings, and translucent mags like the 550 series has. If youre ever cracked open a SiG550/551/552, they are a work of art in the craftsmanship.
Who do you all wish made complete 6.5 Grendel AR-15s?

I'd like to see a Gaili Ace in Grendel.

I wish White Oak Armament chambered barrels in 6.5 Grendel. They produce such a great barrel for the price.

I would also like to see the LWRC IC DI in 6.5 Grendel:

I'd like to se the Henry Long Ranger (https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/the-long-ranger/) chambered for the Grendel.
That would add an excellent lever action to the Grendel lineup.

This is a great idea! But they need to take at least a full inch off that length of pull. 14 inches? Come on!

Noveske sell 6.5 Grendel barrels, 12.5, 18 and 20. I also noticed Noveske sold 6 ARC rifles and might offer complete 6.5 Grendel rifles.

Ah SHOT show. That place is a den of lies! Seriously, you have to go listen to a Chicago political rally to find more empty promises!

Smith & Wesson, Ruger, and Springfield ARs would bring a lot more attention to the caliber.

H&K - 416 or 433 variants. They'd also work on the bolt and reliability issues.

Reading my mind. I was also thinking about an Hk416 type 6.5 Grendel.
Use the Hk 416 receiver set approach with their longer barrel extension, but make it a hybrid Stoner gas system/intermittent tappet for accuracy and no gas introduced into the BCG, like the Perun.
Brownells just started offering their BRN-4 kits that are compatible with the Hk416:

Hk416A5 has the best controls/ergos with the right-handed bolt hold-open and release feature:

If we're going to dream then the LWRCI in the six8 series with a Magpul designed Grendel magazine..I would prefer the standard internal piston/gas tube as I consider the external piston system in the AR platform a flawed and regressive idea......https://www.lwrci.com/SIX8-A5_p_263.html

Primary Weapon Systems 12.5 would be pretty sweet with a suppressor. Hard to beat the long stroke piston design. Would like the old school adjustable gas block instead of the three position.

I second the Ruger/S&W/Springfield. I think something like a slightly scaled down Browning BAR (the hunting rifle) would be pretty cool too. The Stalker version is already very light, shorten the barrel to 20" and you'd have a pretty handy light hunting rifle for open season herd animals.

That would be way cool!
For me, it would be an aesthetic choice -- the AR is very functional.
But, the BAR grabs my traditional vein and shakes it!

Rock River AR would be a great mid priced addition.
