When did Midway drop 6.5 Grendel Shilen Barrels? - rick458 - 02-15-2013
Just checking over my wish list at Midway and its shows the Shilen 20" 6.5 Grendel as
"Discontinued at Midway"
That put a kink in the plans, as if it needed ANOTHER kink

Not sure when, but every time I go to midway the amount of parts they offer for an ar keeps dropping. I'm sure their only getting rid of the unpopular things.

Because they can make more margins on Midway Stoner barrels, no problemo!

Maybe they were told a 2 year wait or something? Its so hard to tell about some of this stuff right now. :/

Shilen. We don't need no stinking Shilen. We have AR-Stoner.

I got an email for an 18" shilen barrel but it must have sold out within a minute or two.

Do you guys see anecdotal evidence of demand out there for Shilen 6.5G barrels?

There is evidence for demand for any quality Grendel-chambered AR-15 barrel. Check into wait times with Satern, watch how quickly AR-Stoner barrels sell out at MidwayUSA, check availability and prices on gunbroker, and realize that Alexander Arms reportedly isn't offering barrel /bolt combos at this time. Even if Shilen was ready to roll out a batch, my guess is that bolt availability would cause further delays.

Grendel barrel demand has done nothing but increase steadily since 2004. I had to be on a waiting list to get my 16" AA barrel/bolt combo from Midway back in 2009.
