Not for less than $5k but certainly less than $6k. The initial investment eats up a lot of cash, sorry! What I really want to do is the ammo to drive this caliber. Domestic brass is top of the list...
Yes and no. There are substantial improvements that can be made to the base bolt design and they are patentable. The question is why? The Grendel is set up such that it will not impose undue stress...
They seem to not be happy with me!
Why, what is the end function of being able to change caliber on an assault type weapon. Are you compromising the primary function to allow for a little used secondary and tertiary role.
How does...
If we can flesh out this then there is the beginning of a spec to work to.
The Norma is a target bullet and it is absolutely rubbish in gel.
If I was to look at the problem I would prefer to see generalization above specialization. Think blind to barrier AP with a...
I am not exactly sure at present. The result will stem from the target definition and the hit probability ie the required carried kills.
Gut says maybe a 6.5 but i would prefer a 7. Keep the OAL...
Guardsman should not take my general disgruntled disposition as anything other than that. I do not intend to try and discourage the ( excellent) work he is looking at but this is my reality check. I...
I do not intend to be abrasive in this matter but when you have stood on my side of the fence for a little time it behests one to be short and obvious.
Yes I sat in the meeting that is referred...
If you push both weapon and also ammunition envelope then you find that the approximation is so close to the existing 7.62 as to make the effort academic. Longer ammunition will demand the envelope...
So the increase in envelope for this mythical rifle would not then throw you on the weight spiral upward, especially as the recoil is now increased.
I have another question. how much extra...
The operating pressure and shape for the Grendel was partially derived with one eye on the use of a polymer casing. It has several attributes where it is similar to a steel case in behavior. While...
What is the optimum internal pressure for a small arms cartridges employing current generation smokeless propellant? This is the beginning of your quest. Here is a hint the Grendel is actually...
While these discussions are entertaining I am yet to see anything that looks like a weapon system specification. Before one can even discuss the cartridge one must define the mission. What range,...
If we go with the fluting it will slightly increase the prices but will not influence the time to process the barrels.
Bloody hell Bill, now I am confused!
We usually follow the orders like this based upon the upper. Most times we will ship the ammo but if the backorder is substantial and the resupply time is...
The line is immense, orders within the last 6 months will be delivered sometime in the 2197 timescale, you are screwed! happy now!
Sorry could not resist.
I will try with the good auspices of...
And again the devil is in the details. We will not be able to accept new orders. Those orders already on the books will be serviced just as soon as we can get to them
We do not foresee being able to supply barrel kits again for 2013
