6.5 Grendel Long Range Rifle

The 6.5 Grendel is the caliber that the military should be using as their primary combat rifle.

The 6.5mm Grendel (6.5×39mm) is an intermediate cartridge designed by Arne Brennan, Bill Alexander, and Janne Pohjoispää as a low recoil, high accuracy, 200-800 yard cartridge specifically for the AR-15 platform. It is an improved variation of the 6.5mm PPC. Since its introduction, it has proven to be a versatile design and is now expanding out into other platforms including bolt-action rifles and the Kalashnikov system.

Firing factory loaded ammunition loaded with bullets ranging from 90 to 129 grains(5.8–8.4 g), its muzzle velocity ranges from 2,500 ft/s (760 m/s) with 129- and 130-grain (8.4 g) bullets to 2,900 ft./s (880 m/s) with 90 gr (5.8 g) bullets (similar in velocity to a 5.56 mm 77-grain (5.0 g) round). This is a long range round and is still supersonic at 1000 yards, making it an excellent long range shooter.

The name “6.5mm Grendel” was a trademark owned by Alexander Arms until it was legally released to allow the cartridge to become SAAMI standardized.

 Loss Bleeder -Basic 5.56 Carbine

This is our version of a basic .223/5.56 AR-15 carbine. We call it our “Loss Bleeder.” Most of our offerings come fully equipped, but sometimes people already have optics or would like to “dress” their own gun so we are offering a limited number of “basic” carbines.

All of the functional components used in this gun are the same ones we use in our higher priced models. No optic is included though we have them available as an upgrade.
