The internet has changed the firearms community. Used to be Shotgun News and monthly gun magazines (& NRA magazine) were the major source for gun related information. In the past it was not as common for an individual to order firearms parts or ammunition online. I believe the majority of 6.5 Grendel sales are through internet sources and less from large vendors or local gun shops. There is one gun shop near me that carries 6.5 Grendel ammo and will order or assemble whatever a customer wants. A couple other shops in the area stock ammo for the 6.5 Grendel. Whitakers in Kentucky and another shop in Southern Indiana have stocked Howa and Ruger 6.5 Grendel bolt actions but Ive never seen a 6.5 Grendel AR-15. I suspect any 6.5 Grendel on the shelf in my area was a trade in or consignment sale.
