Radical Firearms 6.5 Grendel AR-15 review
review and shooting my AR15 chambered in 6.5 Grendel, the upper is from Radical Arms its a 24″ SS match upper with free float Keymod Rail.
does it use the same BCG as the .223/5.56?
Check out Fail Zero Nickel Boron BCG, I’ve ran them in my 300 blackout, 25-45 SRC, 5.56. Clean up quick and the 5.56 has over 2K rounds. AR-Stoner SS barrel
Does it have the spec 2 chambering? Thanks
Which model 4×14 primary arms scope are you running? I have the 20" setup and I’m looking at a primary scope too. They just have about 5-6 different options in 4×14
Try the ACS magazines…zero issues for the 4 mags I have
Bill made grendel mags
I don’t understand the hype over m4 feed ramps unless you are shooting fully automatic. they aren’t needed in semi auto.
What magazine did you get with it?
Wouldn’t really call Grendel a wildcat. Type 2 has had SAAMI spec for some time now.
Nice build, nice shooting. Have fun. Be safe. God bless.
I like the brake….looks good
anyone else having short stroke issues on the bolt with the Radical Firearms upper receiver?
what type of scope you using I’m having trouble hearing what you say you get the scope from radical arms
The BC and bolt with this upper are nitrided, actually the BCG looks like it’s made by Toolcraft. Nitriding beats chrome 10 outta 10. 9310 steel for the bolt => C-158 IMHO.
Good video 🇺🇸 👍
very nice rifle! She is a shooter for sure!
what buffer weight are you using with this upper? will carbine work or is an H2/H3 needed?
I bought this gun and I’ve probably put at least 200+ rounds in it. It seems to throw a lot of gas in my face and other stuff. Why may that be?
Thank you so much for sharing I actually plan on obtaining this upper for a hunting rifle.
Thanks for the video. Question on the rail, the side keymod slots seem to be cut backwards, any idea why?
What ammo did you use?
nice results!
How much was the upper and did your groups tighten up any?? Great review!
Excellent!
^..^~~
5.56 : 0 ! The 6.5 Gren : ) ! its that simple ! V! Peace Out !
This is my build except I went with the Luth-ar stock been dying to shoot it. Nice shooting that Grendel is a laser!
Was that .488 group at 100? And what ammo does it like. I have a 20” coming to me.
What’s the range on that set up?
I got one with 20 inch barrel when the price was $600 🙂 for complete rifle .Now is piston rifle.Did You try the WPA Russian $7 ammo?
How does it balance and handle with the 24" tube? I tree stand hunt in the south, so I’m torn between the 20 or 24"… I want the 24 for the velocity, but I’m afraid it may be awkward and clumsy in the tree… Any opinion?

I have the same rifle but with a 6 x16x56 millet 24 inch barrel. It appears to be a nice rifle, but I have not had a chance to shoot it yet. I can’t find any ammo under 26.00 for 20 round. Sniping might be fun but shooting paper just ain’t worth it. I quest I will just order 500 rounds of wolf 100.
Is the bolt an actual 6.5 bolt or just a 5.56 bolt with the bolt head re-faced to fit the 6.5?
It’s nitrided on the inside and out not blued. I think it’s better than crome.
Sweet gun and great video. Just subbed. 6.5 Grendel is likely an upper I will be adding. What part of WI are you at? I’m West of Madison.
Who makes that free float handrail?
Maybe I missed it, but what was the distance on that group with the PPU 110gr ammo you show at the end of the video?
Ordered exact upper based off this video, hopefully mine shoots this good
Diamond Like Carbon > TiCN > TiCrN > NiB-X > NP3+ > TiAlN > NP3 > NiB > TiN > QPQ Nitride > single-bath black nitride > calcinated > chome > phosphate
in terms of best coatings / treatements or BCGs, as far as I’m aware. If I’m not mistaken, the BCG on the RF’ is single-bath nitrided, which is harder, and has a lower coefficient of friction than chrome. Plus being a treatment rather than a coating, shouldn’t wear as easily. I say, "should be" as their 5.56 basic BCG is "melonite" which is usually single-bath nitriding. (though rarely, multi bath aka QPQ treatments may be referred to as melonite for marketing)
The break looks like it is built into the barrel, is it actually threaded and removable?
Can you add a update to this video? hows the round count, what ammo are you using. Can you post some accuracy test @250- @300 @600
Great video! How heavy is that wonderful rifle?
Can’t buy PPU anymore
I bought 2 AR Stoner magazines as well, a 5 round and a 10 round. The 10 round works perfect and the 5 round is really tight in the mag well.
Awesome rifle! You may want to ease up on the amount of oil on your bcg. It could migrate into the chamber which may cause stove piping and wash out as well as getting into the magazine which can cause feeding issues. GunBlue490 has really good videos that cover this. Just some friendly advice.
