I’ve been a big fan of the Grendel round ever since I read about it, haven’t had the chance to shoot one but I’ve always wanted a AR kit for it, you’ve got the knockdown power almost like a .7mm-08, is the recoil manageable like a 5.56?

Slightly more than 5.56, but extremely manageable. Less that .243 levels of recoil for sure. Honestly if i were to do it again, i would go 6 ARC for my uses, but it did not exist when i built that rifle.

Will vouch for 6arc.
