I literally joined this forum for a chance at another group buy.

Yup.

U P D A T E : Due to popular demand, have placed order for the standard bolts we know and love at the great price we REALLY love — and the new and improved version that is in design stage but is moving like a glacier will still come some time after that.

Top shelf, thanks BFT.

I'd be in for at least one also, maybe two. Thanks BFT.

To be clear, I have a Toolcraft type 2 Grendel BCG. I read that my firing pin is a different length? Bolts are regular length? Maybe it's the beers affecting my memory, but I remember the Toolcraft being unique. So would that make getting one of these bolts not a good idea?

There have been Toolcraft 6.5 Grendel bolts with .136 bolt face depth and 2.80 bolt length sold with standard length firing pins and/or shorter firing pins ( .01 shorter length firing pin). Alexander Arms lengthed a 6.5 Grendel bolt to 2.81 to allow milspec length firing pins to be used. Typical .125 bolt face depth 5.56/223 bolt is 2.80 length but when AA used a .01 deeper bolt face depth they added .01 to the length of the bolt.


My suggestion is to measure your firing pins as Toolcraft and other bolt manufacturers have shipped 2.80 length bolts with milspec length firing pins. Minimum firing protrusion with a AR-15 is minimum .028 maximum .036 protrusion. Milspec firing pins measure 3.279 give or take normal tolerance. This can be an issue if you get tolerance stacking with 6.5 Grendel bolt and out of spec firing pin. Or can be an issue with a 2.800 length bolt with milspec length firing pin.

I read where Toolcraft has now started selling 2.810 length 6.5 Grendel bolts so it is wise to just measure to ensure your in spec.

BFT I need another one too, the standard monster you produce is great, I'll be in for it.
Thanks.

Agreed.

I just got one from a member that put it for sale and it's appear's to be of same quality as all my other bolts AA,Maxim and JP.

I'm ready to see more specs on the new design BFT is working on.

[Wargrendeleagle]

Easy enough to do then. So much variation but not hard to figure out. I just need to measure

[srg]

I'll need a bolt too.

BFT,

I will be up for another one. And I will still try to get the improved version too when it comes out.
