Re: Any good reason NOT to build a 6.5 Grendel ???
I love my Satern barreled Grendel 24" Alexander Arms GDMR. But I'm biased, I love all my guns. It keeps up with my .308 all the way to 1k no problemo. As against my 260 GAP, maybe not so much.
If its going to be the "wife's gun" I think its a great idea for it to be constructed with a 20" barrel or similar and other components keeping it light in weight. In fact, that is on my list of todo's with misc. AR parts, receivers, etc I've got lying around. Some day.
To respond to the OP question, I haven't read (or can remember, too much crown...) a reply yet that is a vote for why not and I frankly couldn't think of super strong reasons not to (besides the typical one user but multi-caliber proliferation problem and new dies, brass, etc) Pretty easy and cheap for you to slap one together it sounds like. So I gotta go with, why not? Build the wife's. Then build your own. Good luck!
