Got one of our members building a Grendel bolt action for me. It’s finally started after waiting for a barrel. @PR-6284 is building it, more progress pics to come. blue printing the action, and lapping the locking lugs, The bolt counterbore has been cut, and the chamber has been cut and lightly polished.

I'd have a blast sitting in a chair watching a fella build one! I look forward to watching it progress and especially to hear how she choots bullet thingys!

Cutting the front face of the lugs, there was a .0023 difference between the two.

Cutting around the circumference of the lugs, there was a .0065 difference between the two, meaning that just over six thousands of an inch had to be removed off of one lug, before the other one was even touched!

I also just finished cutting the extractor slot and fitted the extractor, after opening up the bolt face, adding a bushing, and machining it out to accept the 6.5 Grendel case.

Sorry for the crappie pictures, I'm having to do this off my iPhone.

...And it looks like I am having trouble loading pictures! I may have add these a couple at a time...
