Serbia adopting 6.5 Grendel as main military cartridge

[VASCAR2]

I guess they chose that charging handle because it is ambidextrous and non reciprocating. They are using a ambidextrous safety selector configured in a similar fashion as the IWI Galil Ace. The quick change barrel doesn’t look overly complicated and will sure enable them to use their stock of 7.62x39 ammo. The velocity they quote appear to be very similar to the velocity posted by Prvi Partizan 6.5 Grendel commercial ammo.

I’d like to see pictures and cutaways of their AP and tracer ammo. I don’t remember seeing the barrel twist the Serb’s chose for this rifle.

The design of the new Serbian AK variant sure would aid in cross training with other entities using the AR-15 platform.
