Designing a Grendel IAR

[cory]

a. Is a 45-rd mag necessary? Doesn't the USMC use 30-rd mags on the M27 IAR?

b. Considering that 30-rd mags have long been made for 6.8 SPC, it seems like it should be no great feat to design and manufacture 30-rd 6.5 Grendel mags.

c. You force me to bring this point up, once again: It has not yet been demonstrated that viable disintegrating links can actually be designed/developed for the 6.5 Grendel cartridge.

Nor has it been demonstrated that a 30+ rd magazine can be made to mil spec requirements.

Do I think it can? Yes, with a wider magwell.
