Anybody know the following information about the 6.5 Grendel?

-I assume they use a proprietrary mag.  Can the mag also be used to fire 5.56?
-Is anything other than the barrel and bolt different than the standard AR parts?
-Which gas system does it use (Aramalite mid-length, A1, shorty or proprietary)?

I'm pretty sure it uses standard AR mags just as the Beowulf and Genghis do.

It actually mentions on that site that the mags had to be modified, and there is a post in the forum there indicating that .223 mags will not work.  I of course can't verify the truth of any of that.

They say that for the Beowulf mags too.  I run a few of my 20 round 5.56mm mags in my Beowulf and it works great.  Sometimes I hear people have to bend open the feed lips slightly.  This is probably the case with the Grendal as well since the round is a lot fatter than a .223/5.56mm
