6.5 Grendel Mags

[gunner2015]

Iam building a Maccabee SLR in 6.5 Grendel and iam searching for some mags! Apparently the Alexander Arms mags are the most reliable but Cproducts would also do, if anyone has an idea who I can contact for these it would be very much appreciated!! Thanks Gunner

6.5 Grendel is based off of 6ppc, which is based off of 7.62x39 (in a round about way) - try the C Products or XCR 7.62x39 pistol mags.

I'm doing the same-6.5 Grendel and I am assuming that the 7.62 pistol mags will work. I guess we will see

XCR 7.62x39 pistol mags are what ATRS is recommending to run in the 6.5 Grendel Modern Varmint. I guess I'll find out when mine shows up. I see no logical reason why they wouldn't work.

I have 6.8 SPC mags that I will be trying with my 6.5 build.

Not sure if the follower is different on the 6.8 mags, but going from memory, the cartridge base diameter is smaller than the 6.5 Grendel, no?

From what I have been able to gather off the interwebs, the only difference appears to be the colour of the follower; 6.5 is blue and 6.8 is grey. Of course, this information could be totally wrong as I have no 6.5 magazines to compare my 6.8 magazines with.

In any case, the differences, if there are any, aren't likely to matter because of arbitrary 5 round capacity. I will verify once I find some 6.5 ammo.
