[Variable]

Sounds like the Grendel/Colt LMG that Variable wanted to make a few years ago, except I think his would've fire closed-bolt.

Yep, I tried to get Bill A. to make me an LMG upper in Grendel, but no one would bite. I offered to commit up front. Sabre was making barrels for him and they would have been perfect for it with the setup they had. His opponents offered to make me one, but I wasn't up for that. "They" couldn't do a chromed bore anyway.

As for open bolt use-- Every time Colt presents an open bolt AR system to the .mil they reject it. It's too similar to a regular M16/M4 and comes with the attendant hazards of negligent discharge from the operator forgetting he's using an open bolt and letting a round off... I'm torn on that issue, but I kind of see where they are coming from.

On a serious note, wasn't Bill Alexander awhile back looking into adapting RPK drum mags to 6.5 Grendel? That'd be great, if it could be made to work.

Randy was supposed to be working on that one, but he's dissapeared. I haven't heard a peep from him in a long time...

I still want a Colt LMG clone in Grendel, as long as it has a chromed bore (kinda useless without it...), but no one wants to make me one. I'm screwed tight for cash of late, but I'd likely dump something just to get the funds if someone would actually make the dang thing.
