Thanks, Sputnik,
I just received the Overwatch upper and it seems good. It is not as heavy as I thought it might be. I don't think I can shoot it till next week.
I have been studying the PMag configuration. 5.56 rounds are supported vertically by the round below on each side. Grendel rounds are not so they exert a side force. With each additional round the side force increases and causes mag bulge. I can fit more than 3 but then I can't insert the mag into the receiver. I could cut springs and grind followers but the Grendel is so accurate why would I need more than one shot?
I was thinking of grabbing the upper and lower and ammo and scope and heading to the range now but I have to mount the scope. Maybe I will try to get out tomorrow morning.
The AA mag I received supports the Grendel rounds vertically, thus avoiding the dreaded "midriff bulge".
