In light of the release of the copyright and SAMMI accepting it, I get the feeling that the industry doesn't really care and the Grendel will not take off. I know timing is everything for the success of a product, so was this just really bad timing, or is there really that small of a following for the Grendel?
I'm sure this is heresy on this forum, but here goes: It's just another caliber now. Shocking, I know, but true. I don't foresee manufacturers making the Grendel a central caliber to their platforms. On the brighter side, that gives room for niche vendors like Loki and AA to serve a growing customer base. Everybody wins!
