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.
This right here ^^^^.
In my area, even dating back to Sandy Hook, there have been 6.5 Grendels on the shelves. A local gun store/NFA indoor range had Alexander Arms AR15s back in 2013.
Another local gun store close to me has been carrying Grendel barrel/bolt combos and complete uppers for years now. The owner just sold that business to a Bentley/Ferrari dealership though. If he had waited just another month, he would have cleared out his inventory in a few days I think with all the panic-buying.
