Thank you and welcome to the conversation.
- Is it the love of the platform or the love of the round that is so appealing? For me it is both.
Me too. I think we can do this with minor changes to the receivers, keeping all of the common AR15 parts, with a possible exception of the bolt and extension.
- I can't speak for the majority of the Horde, but my feeling is most of the comments on this forum are aimed at getting reliable performance from their builds, and/or enjoying the complete uppers and rifles presently easily/not so easily available.
I'd agree with that assesment
- Would this be a hybrid/anomaly? How is the group buy of the short barrel Grendel going in comparison to other standard group buy efforts?
It's going a little bit slower, but not as much slower as it'd appear. In the original group buy, there was half a dozen different barrel contours to choose from in the 16" to 24" range. In this one there's only 1 contour to choose from in a barrel length that is uncommon to the Grendel at this time. A few weeks ago we were right on course if you compared our group buy to any one barrel option of the original group buy excluding the very popular AR740. It has slowed down a bit though. I'd also say the traffic on this forum has slowed down a lot since last spring.
- If there is extra R&D money floating around, I would LOVE to see more economically available Grendel single shot rifles, bolt action barrels or complete bolt action rifles; or even semi auto standard rifles. What? Too small of a market?
- If this were "The Shark Tank", I would say too confusing, too many cooks in the kitchen or not enough depending if you are a consumer or a manufacturer, too many recipes, and I don't see the value added for us regular guys. For that reason, I am out.
- Good luck, innovating thinking is gift, I hope you get what you are searching for.
Thank you. This country has been paved by those who saw a market for something no one else did, but pushed ahead to it anyways.
