If it's going to be done, it will have to use the already-in-production Six8 receivers and P-Mags.
So, the logical first step would seem to be acquisition of a Six8 P-Mag, determine how many rounds of 6.5 Grendel ammo it will hold, and if the cartridges stack properly. If the results prove unsatisfactory, then any further effort would be pointless.
Elander just released a Grendel specific magazine. It looks like the demand was there and still is.
I'd agree we should acquire a 68 mag, but if it won't work I don't think this will be pointless. Is Magpul not expanding it's production capacity as we speak in a pmag market that has drastically diminished?
