I didn't start this thread looking for those who would admittedly bash a new idea because they simply don't like it.
If you have legitimate concerns they're WELCOMED here. Please list them in bullet form preferably and let's discuss if we can design around it or not. "I don't think this is a good idea," is not a legitimate concern but a biased opinion that helps nothing. We NEED your thought out why.
Right now is not the time to discuss whether or not the costs are worth it, we're not even close to a prototype. This brainstorming is free (well maybe it costs Hanka something).
Let's debate what the optimal AR based platform is for the Grendel in terms of dimensions. THEN we should talk cost of what we've come up with and see if we can compromise to bring down the cost. THEN is the time to discuss the commercial viability of the notional platform, when it approaches the prototype maturity phase.
Ridiculous hyperbole does nothing to help anything.
It seems some are concerned that a new platform would cause a ridiculous notion that the Grendel is as a round that needs a specific platform for the shooter to take advantage the round. I do see where you're coming from, because there are a lot of ridiculous notions that narrow down the applicability of the Grendel in the heads of some shooters (as has been seen somewhat in this thread. I don't mean that as an attack, the fact is what it is).
However, I've seen no example of this with the LWRC 68 platform. If anyone can find a specific example please post it. Otherwise, lets put this notion to rest please.
