I'm super excited to see the reviews on this one. I've been debating on the 6.5 grendel for a while now. I really think it would make a better deer cartridge for my son.
You my friend are what we call an enabler. I had to unsubscribe from Palmetto State email list.. As I could see my habit getting out of control.. And now you come along with this.. Seriously I'm really looking forward to your review on this rifle. I just assembled a lower with nothing to put on top.. This looks like a great topper.. Thanks for the videos
I got into this cartridge with some reciever parts a couple of years ago. I have completely adopted it. I have my 5.56 rifles and my 6.5 rifles. I have a heavy 22" match build and a 16" chf carbine build. No one really talks about this cartridge. It is proven and dominates the other non-5.56 ar15 cartridges in real world applications.
I absolutely love my PSA AR. I've had it for a few years now and it's always a pleasure to shoot. I can't wait to see the range video for this 6.5. Good stuff my friend.
I am a big fan of PSA as well. .224 Valkyrie and 6.5 Grendel uppers with PSA and Anderson lowers. I'm using rise armament ra-140 3.5 lb single stage triggers. Very pleased. Always enjoy your videos, showing you can get great quality without paying a fortune for a great MSR. Appreciate all your vids.
Very cool, K. Looking forward to seeing what performance you get. I recently bought the same as an upper from PSA, to put on my Ruger MPR lower. I picked up a couple boxes of every flavor of ammo I could find, hoping to see if there's something this rifle prefers. Now, I just need to get it to the range. It's a bit chillier here in Michigan than where you are, but here's hoping!
That ammo is expensive so i bought 500 rounds of wolf 6.5 grendel I like your ar and mine is a diamondback The grendel uses the same case as the 7.62x39
Nice camera work.Nice looking rifle.I look forward to your shooting it.I built a Grendel about 2 yrs. ago,but unfortunately,it shot the Hornady 123 ELD load only so so.I ended up with a handload utilizing 130 Bergers and I am amazed at what that little rifle can do.Good luck!
I bought a PSA lower for my grendal build so far been running fine . I was really hesitant about going with this caliber but I think it will be fine for hogs and deer. I change the stock to a Ergo stock because I have long arms.
FYI. PPU has completed their corrections and testing on 6.5 grendel. I have an ar15 with a match bull barrel and was getting sub moa groups. I returned over 960 rounds to them when they had the recall. They are sending me some samples in 2 weeks according to Marta. She contacted me yesterday. Hopefully it is equal or better in performance and also brings down the cost of 6.5 grendel. For comparison, i was getting maybe a touch better out of the Hornady ELD. I was getting light primer strikes from the old PPU. Since then I've put a heavier spring in.
I'm more of a revolver and 1911 guy, but I enjoyed that look see. Basically I have a stock AR and train with it. Yours is the first video I've seen that makes me want to go deeper into design and features.
I have an 11 inch 556 PSA upper on my SBR, I have fired over 4000 rounds through it and I have never had one malfunction, I've run it through 3 combat carbine courses, night time and low light as well as home defense, for $329 can't beat it. I can't wait for my 6-5 Grendel and 12in imma be here this week
I just bought a lower with grey magpul stuff with the EPT and it feels nice. plan to buy a Grendel upper just have to get some funds arranged. really want the 18" over the 20" barrel. the longest i would shoot is 350 yards so it should be a good lead slinger for me. hope to see your accuracy results soon and hope they are not discouraging.
Would you say the 20” PSA 6.5 Grendel has any disadvantages or advantages over this PSA 18” 6.5 Grendel you reviewed? I initially wanted to buy the 18” but PSA is always out of them and have been thinking about settling for the 20”. -thanks
Cant wait to see more on this baby! I got a 20 inch PSA upper recently and wanted to see what it looked like underneath the handguard. I built my lower and am putting a custom stock on it. One thing I noticed: I dont see the same alignment tabs for the handguard. Its a different one from mine anyhow. The P rail doesn't stretch the full length of my handguard.
Similar to my 18" satern barrel build. I installed an mbt trigger. Very accurate but hates the Hornady black match ammo. Looking forward to your testing. Love the grendel as do many others!
@@Coyote-wm5op I really don't know what the issue is with Hornady black. My barrel just doesn't like them. I handloaded some 123grain sst and eld m's,worked them up and get sub moa.
I know this is an old video but decided to watch it again. Yet one more benefit of the grendel over the 5.56 is ammo availability right now. With this corona virus going around all 223/5.56 is sold out and 7.62x39 for that matter but guess what In stock every where’s lol
Tell us more about the adjustable gas block? I don't see the typical screw-valve in the front. Is it the side screw? How many positions does it have? Does each position click?
Palmetto State Armory make cake AR-15 Lower setup using AK-47 mags the AK mutant which is a heavy gun using a AR-10 bolt Palmetto State Armory makes it as well it will allow you have a 2 Caliber Upper rifle just swapping your uppers and he also makes binary triggers for him to
DANG YOU KOTABOY!!! I'm trying to buy an AK right now but I have this bunch of AR parts laying around I keep thinking would make a great 6.5G project and this... well THIS just makes it that much harder to decide. As usual though... love and appreciate the content mate. Thanks as always for everything you do and best to you and yours.
Curious why PSA currently offers 6.5 Grendel uppers with barrels of 20", 18", and 12", but not in 16"? Is there something about 6.5G ballistics that makes 18" significantly more efficient than 16"? maybe related to twist rate and ability to handle the heavier-for-caliber end of the bullets weight range?
Really looking forward to the range video. Can you tell if the rifling is 5R or 6. I’m looking for an upper and was thinking about a Satern Barrel, but if the PSA shoot sub MOA I’ll probably just go with that.
I got this ar was the last one on the shelf but it’s like an extended one 😭with the stainless steel silver barrel it’s like almost a 18’’ inch barrel but I can’t find any 6.5 grendel ammo any suggestions
Sure beats the hell out of the M16a1 that I carried for years, but it beat lugging around the M60............lol I might have to get one of these, I just looked up the ballistics and it's really good. Let us know how the scope works out, very compact looking.
Parts on order/ in transit for a grendal build. Wanted a better hunting round then my 223, or my 7.62x39 ar rifles. From all the research and videos I've watched, I'll think I'll be happy.
have you shot it yet? well. . . . have ya. Patiently waiting for a range video. #justkiddingnotreallygetonwithitwheresthevideowhatstheholdupcomeonmanlightitup
By The Way, with the PA 4-14 HUD DMR scope it's only off by .3 MILS at 1000 yard high mark with the rifle zeroed at 150 yards According to Strelock + app. I personally haven't shot it that far....yet.
Kotaboy32 The 6.5 Grendell is built on a standard AR15 lower, right ??? If so, besides the bolt, what other changes are required? Such as magazine, buffer or spring etc. I have a 6.8 set up as well as my 5.56 and 5.56 wylde uppers. And how does 6.5 Grendell compare to the 6.8 round l already pitch with ???
Are you sure that’s a 30 round magazine. The Grendel case is a larger diameter and the magazines are less capacity for the same length. About time you shoot a Grendel 😁😁😁. It’s a great caliber for those of us who like to shoot more than paper or steel with our AR’s.
Grendel vs Creedmore vs 556/223 vs valkerie. Gucci vs utilitarian? Are there benefits of one over the other that make the Gucci less Gucci and more utilitarian? Don't get me wrong, I love "Lego's" and their individual nuances but I'm just trying to get to the nuts and bolts of the differences. Great unboxing. Very interested in the Website too.
First off, creedmoor is in the ar10 platform while 6.5grendel, 224v, and 223/556 is in the ar15 platform. 223/556 is good for federal plinking butt the other 2 are longer range rounds. Like 1k yards kind of long range. 6.5grendel has the benefit of also being a good hunting round for medium and large game. 224v is just a long range paper puncher.

Thank you for showing the trigger reset right off the bat, it sold me to be honest. A+
This is probably one rifle that I've been waiting for a good review on before I took the plunge.
Fantastic! Love the 6.5 Grendel. The PSA rifle looks great, a lot of features.
6.5 Grendel. Because energy and ballistics don't care about your feelings.
Fact: each like to his comment equals one leftist tear. Don’t ask how, that’s called science.

There we go, forget the .224, go 6.5 Grendel all the way. I love mine and have loved mine for years.
Agreed.
yes, 224 is junk compared to the Grendel
Looks a lot nicer than their normal offerings
PSA fan here,, Hard to beat for price versus Quality,, Waiting on the test fire video!
Same here, I have a spikes tactical and a PSA and I can't tell a difference except for the price.
That ammo is expensive so i bought 500 rounds of wolf 6.5 grendel
I like your ar and mine is a diamondback
The grendel uses the same case as the 7.62x39
Wolf is cheap even now

Are you loosing a lot of velocity in an 18” verse the 20” barrel ??
Just a suggestion: run 100~200rds of Wolf to 'season' the barrel before you try expensive fodder.
waiting to see it on the range!
did you direct lawrence of arabia? that aspect ratio
Ready for a range review and accuracy test.
Does this use a standard ar15 lower or do you need the ar10 lower?
Nice rifle. 4 1/2 lb trigger pull out of the box? Heck, I'm happy with anything under 7lb startle reflex spasm.
you could have talked to Alexander Arms! they are in Blacksburg VA.
Maybe, I'll give them a hollar
PSA only makes the uppers in 12.5, 18 and 20". Why not 16"?

Can you talk about using the 3x18 ACSS BDC Feature to match 6.5 ballistics with specific loads ? Will the .308 version work for this ?
depends on your barrel length but should be close (your mileage may vary)
Is that a mid length or rifle length system?

its to different platforms AR15vsAR"10" Creedmore is the big brother to Grendel
What do you mean that's it. What did you pay for it?! What is the list price?! Why would you consider this anything less than a commercial for PSA?

First off, creedmoor is in the ar10 platform while 6.5grendel, 224v, and 223/556 is in the ar15 platform. 223/556 is good for federal plinking butt the other 2 are longer range rounds. Like 1k yards kind of long range. 6.5grendel has the benefit of also being a good hunting round for medium and large game. 224v is just a long range paper puncher.
