Now that the Russki War Machine is finally starting to crank out 6.5 Grendel steel-cased ammo, here's yet another piece of related good news.
Attached is a little teaser. . . . :p

I have been running a bunch of E-Lander steel 5.56 mags in my FS2000 for over a year, they have worked great.
Hope the Grendel mags work out as well.

I'm betting on K&M Arms to be the first out of the starting gate with a 6.5mm Grendel-chambered Bullpup:

With the Geissele or Timney Tavor triggers, I actually might get one for a Grendel conversion.
A 20" barreled Tavor with a long handguard attachment would be pretty slick.
Nice. I work for a company that specializes in blocking mags for states like CA, NY and others with capacity limits. And from handling/working on the E-Lander mags I've been pretty impressed by solid they are. I've been fortunate in that all my C-prod mags have been reliable for me, but where I buying more I would probably go for the E-Lander.

John, I'll believe it later. Putin is a douch. Ask Pauly. He's the latest world historian, expert.

What sizes (capacities) are expected with the E-Lander / Grendel mags?

Do we know when AA will start selling them.
So according darkarhunter (the imbecile formerly known by xcr) over at the hide, another company is also about to introduce a Grendel Mag.

Per the imbecile
Quote:I just got off the phone with an company that will be introducing a Grendel mag soon that will have a max COAL longer that ASC or C products. Can't say who yet but we should hear about them in a month or so.
He also said it wasn't E Lander that they would be 100% American made.
I'd take anything from him with a grain of salt.

As per "the imbecile's" quote I don't see how this undisclosed mfg can make a magazine with a greater COAL that what exists already unless we are talking .0000000000001 of an inch. I am no engineer but, I just don't see it. Anyway it's good to finally look forward to new magazines by E-lander.

It wouldn't surprise me if someone jumped on the LWRC six8 receiver sets and pmags, and modified them for 6.5 G. The larger mag well allows a longer COAL. What do you need in the pmag, a different follower?

I'm surprised they haven't already.
Edit: So the only change to the LWRC 68 receivers is an enlarged magwell to fit an optimal 30rd 6.8 mag. Oh and an enlarged ejection port. Correct?
Mark (PF) what do you say you take our money and design us a receiver set with magpul optimized for a 30rd Grendel pmag?

Based on that info, I'd guess PRI is getting into the 65G game. They've long been known for making 6.8 mags that allow long OALs. Hey, the more the merrier!

Or you have ARP who took the Grendel and modified it to fit the 6.8 with their six5 that's supposed to come out "mid 2014"
