A rep answered that they have plans but are delayed because all the current demands are eating up the resources. I even specified SAAMI spec in my post. So the Grendel will be offered by PSA, but the time frame is unknown. If more members from here could voice their support over at ARFCOM. may be things will happen faster
Good idea.
Here's a link to that thread:

Thanks for the redemption of sorts.
Perhaps I had the cart ahead of the horse, but collectively, maybe we all got the horse moving a little faster.

If they follow through, Im sure it will encourage others to do the same. The grendel is gaining some steam, as it should

HYaaahhhh!!! SkSkSk!!! Get up!
Put my input. Now just wait.
FYI, I also asked if they are considering a melonited-barrel, and the answer was that PSA is considering several alternate barrel (bore) treatment, although the word melonite was not specifically mentioned. QPQ, S-carb, WASP are other possibilities of similar function. So, I am hoping for a grendel upper w/ one of the above bore treatments to shoot the Wolf steel case ammo.
Replied also, can't wait. (Well, can't wait after I put in some overtime to have the $$$ in hand.)

Old thread...
Would still be nice to see PSA enter the Grendel segment with barrels and uppers.
There's a new thread in the PSA Industry Partner section of arfcom requesting an update:

I will buy a FN cold hammer forged barrel from PSA the day they come out. If they ever make one.

What does that have to do with a PSA Grendel? Nothing.

I just emailed them to check on specs and stuff. Appears its available. I assume it to be a FN manufactured barrel considering it's HF. Not a lot of people out there able to hammer forge barrels.
I had sort of decided to forget about building a grendel at the moment and was looking at CHF 5.56 barrels. Since there's really only FN sourced barrels I was at PSA looking for a price on their barrels and found the grendel barrel. Anyhow hope that helps some guys with this thread.
