I recently acquired a custom CZ-527 Carbine that started life as a 7.62x39. But Jim Brockman rebarreled it to 6.5 Grendel for Bill Alexander back in 2002 when the Grendel was a brand-new cartridge. They gave it a real eye-popping custom painted stock and took the rifle to the SHOT and Safari Club shows to help drum up interest in the Grendel.
I love it - the action is very nice as has been said, I love the set trigger, and it's very accurate. I was lucky to find what I think was the second-to-last factory CZ carbine stock sold in the US and bedded that to it to preserve the original custom stock.

Somebody on this thread may be interested in this - I have almost 200 once-fired Norma 7.62x39 cases that are deprimed and polished. I have hesitated to list them for sale because I really wanted to see brass of this quality go to someone with a nice mini bolt action instead of being destined for an AK. I shouldn't care who buys them, but like my avatar says...

Shoot me a PM if interested.

Congratulations on your new rifle yar.
