I thought these grendel bolts weren´t available anywhere, if threre is a supplier overseas (who maybe ships to Germany) I wouldn´t take the effort to manufacture my own!!! I thought about that and started it when I found out the lead time of AA.
Lets wait until I got the first items on my table in maybe a week, I will start with let´s say 5 - 10 bolts (actually I only wanted to make one/two for myself). The number depends on the PMs I will receive.
@Cory
42CrMo4 / 1.7225 Steel, tensile strength app. 1200 N/mm²
Chemical composion: C 0,42 / Si < 0,4 / Mn 0,75 / Cr 1,05 / Mo 0,23 / P 0,025 / S 0,035
More Details here, I think you know Thyssen Krupp
R = yield strength / tensile strength
A = breaking elongation
This is exactly the steel I will use for my bolts.
A translation of the datasheet can be found here: 1.7225
Kohoki,
I definitely understand because they haven't been available but from a couple sources with limited distribution. As for AA, you do have a better chance to make one yourself..
Like I listed, there is a manufacture helping out the 6.5 Gendel Family and going out of his normal production of Bolt Carriers and other Bolt sizes to make the Grendel Bolt's. He will be starting this soon so if you watch the other post on the Forum here, Group Bolt Buy, you will see the status and once there available, that too.
One thing in USA, there is a clause NOT to SHIP CERTAIN FIREARM PARTS OUT of USA. I do not know the laws but that might be an issue for you getting parts. If you were in the military, it could ship thru a APO but that is the only way I would ship out of the states. Others may know more on this.
Good Luck...Also I too have been to Germany many times years ago and only learned a little of the German Language, Good-n-slick, Good-n-firm and Good-n-tight...
Also BMW's and Mercedes show how well Germany Engineering is...
