One of the primary issues with the 7.62x39 has been getting the magazines right it seems, the bolt and barrel side seems OK.
In that case I would like to see the 6.5 Grendel as an option.
PRO'S
Magazines are already out and operational an fit a standard XCR 5.56 lower
Conversion is relatively simple for the 7.62x39 bolt face
6.5 gives almost identical performance and better range than the 7.62 NATO
6.5 unlike the 6.8SPC can come in a wider range of grain weight allowing tweaking the capability
CON'S
Limited but increasing numbers of makers of this calibre
Proprietry round owned by Alexander Arms, means licencing
Means I would only need 1 XCR for 7.62 NATO performance, would have to justify buying another......
Still want it ....... ;D
