I sent a message to Mossberg inquiring if they would consider making the MVP in 6.5 Grendel. I read one retailer of 6.5 Grendel AR-15 barrels was getting the barrels from Mossberg. I thought the 6.5 Grendel would be a natural for the MVP especially since Mossberg was already turning out 6.5/264 barrels. Unfortunately Mossberg never responded to my request and a short time later Legacy announced the Howa in 6.5 Grendel.
I think part of the issue in converting a MVP to 6.5 Grendel would be a bolt head. I don't have any idea how difficult it is to do a barrel swap on a MVP.
