Hi all,
What, exactly, would a person have to do to get a spare bolt ready to drop in your existing Grendel rifle?
Probably a simple question with a complicated answer, but give it a try, please
Thanks

Maybe I'm miss-understanding your question, but the best thing to do is place a backorder and wait it out. My AA bolts just came in last week. I now have spare 6.5G and .50 Beo bolts. I would hate to have a problem and then have to wait for a replacement. I'm stocking up on spare parts now. This past panic was a wake up call for me.
Maybe you want to know how to modify an existing bolt? If so - I will let others answer that.
Good luck!

Don't place a back order in a couple weeks Under ground tactical just made 1000 of them and will have them available soon.

I believe he wants to know how to headspace them. Then again I could be wrong.

Need to know what headspace was used. Type 1 or type 2.

Does anyone have the info on the testing that Under Ground did for the bolts? Mark at PF did a lot of testing on the Maxim bolts to get where we are. Just making them is part of the equation. Proprer shot peen, hardening and milling is required, this isn't just a simple process and where did this "Under Ground" come from? Who have they been making product for and how long?
Might just be another fishing real company making parts because the fishing business is slow, it isn't just that they can make something. We have seen this before in the firearms industry.
We'll see and hope its true....

Makes me think of that garage door and fireplace company:

They just purchased the machines necessary to make the bolts. Seems Governor Perry is a fan.

Thank you for the kind words, montana.
I assure you, we are NOT a fishing reel company. Underground Tactical is strictly a weapons manufacturing company. We started manufacturing our own weapons and suppressors and when the weapons ban rush happened at the end of 2012 BCGs were not available anywhere. So we decided to purchase a 13 axis swiss machine to make our BCGs. It was a perfect fit for us since we are a bunch of engineers and software developers. Our background gives us an advantage over other manufactures, we have the ability to write our own software for the machines. We found that the software the machines come with weren't efficient enough. We purchased the best machine in the country to manufacture our parts because we want nothing less for our very own weapons we sell. Since then we have purchased several machines. I assure you that you will only get a super high quality product from Underground Tactical. We have been silent the past three years with doing zero advertisement and letting the word get out by word of mouth here in Texas. While in the background we have been working very hard getting parts perfect, finding the best material suppliers, quality heat treaters and finishers. Because of our high quality, police agencies and SWAT teams around Texas have accepted our weapons and put us on their approved weapons list. This approved weapons list is extremely hard to get on. They put our weapons through some very extreme tests. This has made us very proud.
You will have nothing but friends here at Underground Tactical. We have the same passion and love for firearms just like you all. If you ever call us you will be greeted with a smile and understanding.
Since some have asked on this forum, our 6.5 Grendel bolts are based off of the "Beowulf" design.
We also offer other calibers for the AR as well.
We will not push our product on this forum, but only help contribute to the Grendel community.
I look forward to collaborating and offering our input with our new found friends here on the 6.5 Grendel forum.

WOW!!
Great help guys. Maybe I should re-phrase my question!
If, I want a spare bolt, what is necessary, after I get it in my grubby little fingers, do I have to do to make sure it is right for my existing rifle, carrier, etc.? Is it a drop-in, go shoot situation or is there something I have to do to match it to what I already have? I feel I am too ignorant to even ask sensible questions, but maybe you get the idea this time.
Thanks

Seriously, I can't speak for the Horde, but I would like to say that your presence in the market is quite welcome, and doubly so, for supporting the beloved Grendel, as well. I join Montana in wishing you well, and may your 2014 be prosperous.
And as an afterthought, tactical fishing rods may have a market out there, someday.
I just checked their website and found no ability to view or order parts. I also sent them an e-mail about this.

We haven't added weapons parts to our web store just yet. We will in the next couple of weeks. We have been busy shipping out our current obligation of orders to the barrel manufactures. Please be patient for the next couple of weeks and we will have the Grendel bolt on our web store. I'll make an announcement exclusively on the 6.5 Grendel forum only when they are up.

Welcome UGT, any thought to producing other parts, muzzle devices, gas blocks etc...?

More so for the Grendel as this is my current emphisis to get this cartridge out there in the hands of Americans who like to Hunt! Here in Va and many other states the Modern Sporting Rifle is growing and the name "AR-15" is being replaced with MSR. That is my goal and if you can make the internal parts, that is awesome...
You and me!!
