We're still way behind on 6.5 Bolts, they have been trickling in. I don't have a good ETA on those at this time.

Thanks,

I just got an update and have a shipment of bolts inbound, but it won't take care of our backorders.

Thanks,

I'm dying for two bull barrel complete uppers in 6.5. Hope they get in stock this spring. Complete lowers are lonely.

Evidently 6.5 must be the new hot caliber, we can't keep them in stock.

I'd be happy with a 16" carbine bolt and barrel...

As of April this year, it makes one full year that I have been searching for 6.5 uppers. I really want a j&t upper.

I'll keep waiting.

If you're waiting for them to be in stock, I can't tell you when that would be. The line keeps getting longer as we get them available.

We've been shipping some out, but the backlog is still outpacing the supply.

So did you guys give up on your 6.5 Grendel uppers? I don't see them on the website anymore.

There have been a number of issues come up over the last few months that have not been resolved, so as of now we are no longer offering barrels chambered in 6.5 Grendel. I beleive the problem to be ammo related, as barrels that ran previously no longer run reliably with current factory ammo.

Your issues appear to be bad chambers. It looks like the reamer was dull.

I've got a call into Shaw to get their input.

any update from shaw? are these going to be permanently discontinued??

We are still working through the issues, as soon as we're positive that the kinks have been worked out, we will post the conclusions.

Do these issues apply to the Grendel Barrels on you sale page?

No, these were from an earlier batch of barrels that we found while moving. Those have either 1/2x36 or 9/16x24 thread pitch. In an effort to streamline our process, in the future we will only be offering Grendel barrels in 5/8x24 tpi, so we have discontinued the sale barrels. The previous barrels that we had a problem with were resolved and everything is running well again.
