RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - Shoreglide - 05-15-2021 I'll stay on the list as well. RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - BluntForceTrauma - 05-16-2021 U P D A T E : Problem solved. Turned out simple. Was working on the extractor drawings in detail, calculating the claw dimensions, when it occurred to me: "Maybe the claw, the 'fang,' is simply too long. What if I just file down the 'fang' a touch and make it shorter? Then the extractor hump won't be pushed up as high and grind and bind against the extension teeth." Took out the ol' Makita angle grinder with a metal grinding wheel, gripped an extractor in some pliers, and kinda touched the bottom of the extractor claw to it. Some tiny sparks flew. Soon the bottom of the extractor claw was a shiny silver — a little chewed up like a tiny chihuahua got after it — but it was, indeed, shorter. Reassembled the bolt, installed it in a gun with my dummy firing pin, and hand-cycled a magazine: Slick, smooth action and a beautiful pile of cartridges. Hallelujah! Now, how to "fix" 100 extractors on an industrial scale with perfect mechanical precision? Ain't gonna Billy-Bob angle grind 100 extractors. So that's the next problem.... RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - pavementends - 05-16-2021 Good Job! RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - Bigdaddyjak - 05-18-2021 2 for me ! RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - BluntForceTrauma - 05-25-2021 U P D A T E : Extractor Mod1 re-design is going well. Gonna be kick-ass! RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - pavementends - 05-25-2021 Any timeline? RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - BluntForceTrauma - 05-25-2021 No timeline yet. RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - BluntForceTrauma - 06-09-2021 U P D A T E : Prototype MONSTER Mk136 Mod1 extractor is in and it frickin' cycles like butter. (See photo.) Very happy. Going into production. You guys remember how all these extractors for the alternate AR calibers are weaker than a standard 5.56 extractor? My Mk136 Mod1 extractor has 100% of the claw thickness of a standard 5.56 extractor and 97% of the head thickness. Some smart-ass is gonna say, "Wait, only 97%?" Dude. Ain't gonna get any better than that. You wanna go back to 50% like other 6mmARC/6.5 Grendel extractors? Didn't think so. So, our 6A/65G extractors are now basically as strong as any 5.56 extractor. That. Is. A. Good. Thing. Keep you updated on production ETA cuz, unfortunately, it ain't lookin' pretty these days.... RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - Old Bob - 06-10-2021 Cool! I'll still be waiting for them to become available. RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - skyrep - 06-10-2021 That's great news. Can't wait for them to be available.

RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - 41bear - 08-02-2021 I know we are all waiting on your news but do you have any idea when your new bolts will show up? Now that the Delta variant is out and about I'm sure it's hard to say but a ball park figure would be nice, I promise I won't hold you to it.

Still waiting for responses to my emails. RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - 41bear - 08-02-2021 Got it, I'm just going to be patient cause I want 4 of those bad boys. Gotta remember my mom's saying "A watched bot never boils." RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - gorillamotors - 08-21-2021 How can I put myself on the list for two bolts and two 20" 6mmARC barrels? Jim RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - skyrep - 08-25-2021 I am still good for two bolts. Buy once, Cry once. I am sure the wait will be well worth it. Thanks for the update RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - BluntForceTrauma - 09-08-2021 U P D A T E : Manufacturing continues to be jacked up. Email from bolt rep yesterday says, "Unfortunately, we do not have enough raw material to meet our open orders and won’t have more until the end of October." RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - 41bear - 10-24-2021 John are we still in limbo about answers from supplier? From all the negative truck driver talk it appears that the supply chain is broke. Being in Savannah the talk here is that the port is having a very real problem with drivers and it won't get better any time soon. On the bright side I do have one Grendel SB from ARP that I'm going to use to start upper limit testing. RE: ON HOLD 6mmARC Mk136 Mod2 Bolts - BluntForceTrauma - 10-25-2021 News is still bad. In his latest email reply, my vendor says, "That was the plan, but unfortunately, we ran out of raw material. The mill won’t have anything for us until mid-November."
