It looks like Palmetto State Armory is getting into the 6.5 Grendel market. PSA just released their first batch of 20” heavy barrel SS 1:8 twist 6.5 Grendel uppers. PSA rep stated other barrel lengths will be released including a 12” 6.5 Grendel.
Another 6.5 Grendel is going to introduced by PSA in an AK-47 variant using a magwell adapted to use AR-15 magazines. The first offering is supposed to be an AK pistol in 6.5 Grendel. It looks like the pistol variant uses a folding dust cover with integral Picatinney rail. The AK pistol variants will use a magwell adapter to use AR-15 mags. PSA is also going to offer the AK pistols in 9 MM, 5.56/223, 300 BO with magwell adapters and 7.62x39 with AK mags.
The release of the AK 6.5 Grendel probably won’t be available till later this year or possibly 2019. PSA is in the final testing stage with AK-47 chambered in 5.56/223 with the magwell adapter to use STANG AR-15 magazines. I suspect the AK rifle variant will be released at some point in 6.5 Grendel using the magwell adapter for AR-15 6.5 Grendel mags. This PSA 6.5 Grendel AK might prove more popular than the Vepr 6.5 Grendel because of the lack of Vepr high capacity mags.
The newer PSA manufactured AK 7.62x39 are getting good reviews and it seems PSA has worked through any bolt/carrier issues. PSA is offering a wide assortment of stock configurations on rifles and will offer several brace hand guards in the handgun
