6.5 Grendel - AR15/M16/M4 lower with a new upper, that eats a MUCH better round - AR10 ballistics (the 7.62 or .308 to you folks) in an AR15 package. Throws a 120 gr. Nosler at 2900 fps at 100 yds. Typical 7.62 NATO performance is 144 gr. at 2700 fps. We paid our dues to get the Stoner design tweaked. Why not get what we paid for with a "bolt-on" mod which is already designed and in production?

The AR-15 is fundamentally flawed and will continue to be so. There is no way to fix the eventual fouling of the upper receiver and chamber.
Stoner fixed the design with the AR-18, but nobody in the US was interested at the time.
The IRA liked it in the form of the AR-180, and they gave the Brits fits with it. Very reliable weapon, equal to the AK, and with the accuracy of the AR.
