Which companies make piston Grendels? Tactical life says that Alexander Arms will offer their own piston version http://www.tactical-life.com/online/exclusives/alexander-arms-gas-piston-grendel/ but I see nothing mentioned on their site |
|
Robinson Armament has a non-AR (quasi AR?) piston '6.5' model, apparently an unlicensed Grendel equivalent. There are some after-market add on type piston devices, but I've not seen any reviews of these. Pistons are supposed to be more reliable, but if it is an add-on product, the reliability is a question. Bushmaster's ACR is supposedly going to be offered in '6.5', eventually. |
First I've heard of this. Source? I'd be interested....though 6.5G ammo would have to come down in price for me to really consider it, but it is interesting. For now, I'd go 6.8 SPC in the ACR, but my understanding is that while BM is considering 6.8 SPC, there is no set date or anything else specific about its release. 5.56 is supposed to be out 1Q of 09, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Source is a video, in two parts: "A Magpul representative discusses features and details of its new rifle at the Fort Morgan Machine Gun Shoot in Colorado." part one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrWaKieLky0 part two http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7DX-wmbJcY See part one at about 1:30 to 1:40 where he says it will be multicaliber 556, 68, 65, 762x39 |
Thanks for the info.  Sean |
