[QUOTE="SHORT-N-SASSY, post: 1968351, member: 115326"] Hi all, I'm new to the Forum, but not to Bullpup rifles. And, I share with others of our sport-shooting community the disappointment that Kel-Tec and K&M Arms will not be producing their respective Bullpup models chambered for the 6.5mm Grendel cartridge, as promised. A few years ago, I built a Bullpup rifle based on the AR-15 platform, with switch Barrels and Bolts chambered/machined for the 5.56x45mm and 6.5mm Grendel cartridges --- [ATTACH type="full"]211019[/ATTACH] However, I never did get comfortable with the fact that the AR-15 Bolt face, 0.378" diameter, has to be opened to 0.440" to accept the 6.5mm Grendel cartridge. I was reminded to the cartridge developer's warning, [I]"We shoehorned a bigger cartridge into the gun . . . Add the 6.5mm Grendel geometry, and you are right at the tipping point."[/I] Now, CMMG offers their 6.5mm Grendel Pistol Banshee MKW-15, 12.5" barrel, with their PowerBolt (AR-10 Bolt) --- [ATTACH type="full"]211022[/ATTACH] However, in that this model is classified as a Pistol, adding a vertical fore grip can conflict with federal regulations: [B][I]Can I Add a Vertical Fore Grip to My AR-15 Pistol?
