Well, today Alexander Arms announced a few things at the Big 3 writers event.
1. The Grendel has been accepted by SAAMI
2. They have released their trademark on the Grendel
3. They showed off steel cased Grendel produced by Wolf
4. They hired a very well respected gentleman named Wayne Holt to handle PR.
So, now ANYONE can make a Grendel.
Wonder if all this has anything to do with Remington potentially planning the release of a 6.5 RAR cartridge in the not-so-distant future?
Supposedly, the RAR case (as used in Remington's .30 RAR) has ~25% more capacity versus the Grendel, while still working in the AR-15 platform.
Instead of other smallish niche companies like CSS, LBC, etc, AA could suddenly be faced with competing against Big Green. Kinda changes the playing field (if it were to happen).
Just speculating out loud...
