mccuistion,
Don't do it!
The 6.5mm Grendel, in a short, compact package, will do everything the 1950's (old bag) .308 will do, with half the recoil, and leave it in the dust, at extended ranges. Don't pay the price for one barrel maker's negligence!
Personally, I'm hurtin' right now. I was just beginning to bond with my 6.5mm Grendel-chambered Bullpup'ed Half-As AR. That short time with it convinced me of what I had envisioned for some time: the 6.5mm Grendel, with its high efficiency, light recoil and low muzzle blast signature, represents the ideal choice for a 21st Century light-weight, compact multi-purpose weapon.
Give up the source of the pain: the barrel maker. Don't give up the sweet ecstasy!
