I'm following your testing with great interest, care to give any particulars? Such as Speed, barrel length, and accuray? Bullets used, case longevity, and or possibly photos? Thanks.

Just some encouragement that this can't come a moment too soon. In a recent build, my other-brand 6.5Grendel BCG would occasionally fail to fully eject. I'm pretty sure it's somehow extractor related. So I pulled out my one Horde Team BCG out of my other build, and ran it - gun ran 100%, with no extraction or ejection issues.
I'm just going to get another one of these bolts, and even a spare, and swap out to just running these - as soon as these come available.
Obviously, understood that supply -side is a total mess right now, so a take this is a friendly: Eager anticipation because you do go great work!

U P D A T E : Manufacturing continues to be jacked up. Email from bolt rep yesterday says, "Unfortunately, we do not have enough raw material to meet our open orders and wont have more until the end of October."

Thanks for the heads up. I had already, in my mind, put getting these for my Christmas presents so when ever they show up you'll get my order for 4 of these bad boys!

Some examples I've noticed recently:
- I just had to return my SWFA 10x scope due to an internal breakage. But SWFA has no stock to replace it with. And that's true of most of their SWFA-branded scopes. No word on when the next shipment will arrive.
- The Fox shocks I ordered back in June, for my IH IScout, are not expected to be built for many months yet. A rep at Fox told me they are still trying to build orders placed last March.
- Lastly, my cousin told me that Santa Cruz Mtn Bikes does not expect to have some of their "current" bikes in stock again until 2024.

Sorry to hear about the delays, this virus is effecting more than just people and it's a sad situation we shouldn't be in at this point.

Dealing with supply chain, I'm starting to realize this has more to do with Longshoremen in CA and truck drivers retiring, than anything. Thre boats are stacked up off LA.

Lack of drivers appears to be the greatest stumbling block. FedEX has lost a ton of $$$ and they say it's all because of the shortage of drivers causing them to go to outside vendors for deliveries. I'm sure their not alone in this.
Walmart has had to do the same as several of my home deliveries have been made by outsiders also.

the bolt is 100% ok after 500 rounds once the extractor issue is resolved i believe this will be the bolt to use in the gren and arc platforms .
That being said if u plane to convert x39 brass is will not work with this bolt the case rim is larger then gren\arc and it will not fit in the bolt due to the tight tolerences
#2 though i am confident this bolt will live a very happy life even at\near bolt gun max loads on a properly gassed and tuned gas gun if someone wanted to push things with this bolt i would run loads need the middle of the difference between gas\bolt load gun data
though i do not recommend running anything more the published gas gun loads , and if u do u better know what ur doing as it could result in serious injury, as bft said this new bolt is not an excuse to hotrod ur reloads

going to abuse the heck out of this bolt with some mag dumps of full power loads with an frt-15 here at some point out of the pistol build

Thanks for the observations, update. Look forward to any further input you collect, great read so far.

Any updates on when some bolts will be available?

No Luck Wrote:Any updates on when some bolts will be available?Obviously I can't speak for BFT, and am not in-the-know on anything. But I've noticed the flood-dam seems to have burst on BCG's of late. With PSA and numerous others now selling BCG at 2019 level prices and availability. Their supply chain is likely more secure than the speicalty one we are relying on for this speciality manufacture, but it's a good trend, all the same.

Saw that and hoping that it will carry over to John's bolt being put into production ASAP, we shall see.

Wow, I just have to say, this has been a serious dry spell. Very much a bummer for SixFive/BFT. The supplier of these parts, somewhere along the chain, must be in really bad shape.
I check back here every few weeks or so.

U P D A T E : Thanks for checking in, guys, there IS light at the end of the tunnel. Finally got an order accepted from one of the major extractor specialists for my new design Mod1 extractors. Manufacture will take the typical "6 to 8 weeks." Knock on wood!
I'm gonna call my new design of bolt with my new design of extractor the "Ultrabolt" (to go with my MONSTER line of Ultralite gas blocks and muzzle devices).
It is not physically possible to make a 6.5 Grendel/6mmARC bolt and extractor any stronger than I have done and still have it operate reliably unless, well, you go with exotic steel alloys and you want to pay $250 each. My new MONSTER Ultrabolts will have a limited-time introductory price of $55 just like my standard Grendel MONSTER bolts before I have to increase the price. (The new design extractor costs about twice as much as a standard one, and inflation, in general, is taking a bite.)
