I see. I figured this would probably be the issue - sell to law enforcement and military only - requiring those who want to purchase such rounds to go through other channels. I also don't get why this should even be a question - military interest. The 6.5 Grendel is far superior vs. the 6.8 vs. the 5.56. I have studied each of these rounds intensely when the Grendel was first being developed. It seems as though politics are determining the fate of this outcome, as it did with Colt vs. Ruger back in the day - the m16 is a piece of sh**! I had one blow up in the face of one of my boots (juniors) and we experienced many weapons issues in the Middle East - missfeeds, etc; especially with the magazines. Being we were engaged in intese combat, this really put a sour taste in my mouth - sorry to all you m16 fans!
