6.5 Grendel on an AR config

[Guest Keinengel]

Has anyone had any experience with one of these? I have heard a lot of good things regarding the Alexander ARs but i haven't seen much in the way of personal reviews? Also would a 6.5 upper be compatable with a standard 5.56/.223 Lower?

Compatible to your standard lower. You need 6.5 magazines though.

Ukerduker would probably be the resident expert on the 6.5 that I know of here. I asked him a bunch of questions about the round a few weeks ago. I want one, no doubt, which one is the question. Model1 sales has a decent deal on a complete rifle, almost better to me than getting just their upper but I'm not sold on their quality.

Alexander is really proud of their uppers. But then I guess they can be.

Hit the 6.5 forums for more detail. AR15.com has a variants thread, if you can wade through the 6.8 vs 6.5 debate, to get to some good details.

Here is Uker's thread

Your in Manchester, run down to Hero Gear. Joe's smith worked with Uker on his rifle. He has a gas piston version but they know AR's down there.
