Isn't Grendel out of business? I believe parts are very hard to come by.

Grendel Inc. is, but Alexander Arms is still in business.
I wouldn't buy a 6.5 Grendel a.k.a. ".264 Warrior Magnum" cuz it looks funny

Alexander Arms is alive and well, presently operating out of the Radford Arsenal but planning expansion outside Dublin VA.
6.5 Grendel ballistics are more than awesome. Heavy loads (140gr.) at hunting ranges are gamestoppers for sure.
My buddy coerced me to start a build on an AR. Spinta Precision been running sales on barrels, and Anderson upper and lower seemed affordable.
After $637 dollars invested we assembled what you see (attached)
Modeled after Les Baer's ultimate 6.5 Grendel at far less the investment.
A welding buddy helped build the forearm from some 2" stainless and and an extra jam nut.
... a little heavier than I would have wanted but the recoil is greatly reduced.
I use RP 7.62x39 brass and run it through the 6.5 Grendel FL resize/decapping die and it works great. Hint: sm. rifle primer recommended (less brisance).
A great piece of equipment.

Ammo is plentiful and easy to make.
When was the last time you saw a 30 Rem case? (6.8SPC parent)
How often ya' run across 7.62x39? (6.5Grendel parent equivalent, actually derived from 6mmPPC which was from 220Russian)

No it will not die! Back in '09 Bill Alexander was just getting started. With the release of all the AR optiions of ammo, 7.62x39, 300BLK (stolen from J.D.Jones), the 6.8SPC, 450Bushmaster, 50Beowolf, and the 6.5Grendel the choices have become nearly endless. Yes, the 6.8 was heralded as the end all and produced and marketed more effectively. Study the ballistics and there is only one logical decision, the Grendel!
Like the Highlander, in the end, there can be only one.
