Unless theyre way behind enema lines they are unlikely to carry a conversion kit.

I’d like to see what kind of 7.62x39 magazines theyve come up with for the SCAR. Its hard to make that caliber work reliably in an AR size carbine.

I always think of the 7.62X39 round as the commies' answer to the 30-30 .... not really exciting but I guess it gets the job done... especially if some Third World SOB who has never used the cleaning rod is spraying you with his AK-47 from heavy cover.

The 6.5 Grendel, like the 7.62X39, looks a little fat to me for optimal use in this action, although it's looking great on paper.

Plus the upper receiver will be the heaviest and most expensive part of the rifle. I would prefer to just have a couple of complete rifle versions back at base, and grab the one that's most appropriate to the mission.
