    There is one up over on the auction side you can follow to see if it sells. The Grendel was never really considered a quality gun. The P30, which I considered buying back in the day, had firing pin issues that haunt it still. They were and still are a considerable amount of firepower in a small package, but finding someone that wants one and is willing to pay much is the problem. I've read where folks who are into them pick up a cheap extra just for spare parts. Good luck

    I am slowly working on a project to have new, quality firing pins built for the P 30. They will be CNC lathe turned from O1 steel, ans I will personally heat treat them to the proper spring temper.

    I've owned several P-30s, an R-31 carbine or two, and have never had a problem with firing pins, and if you pay attention when reassembling the slide to frame; you won't have a blast of hot gas and brass in your face.
    I've paid as much as $400 for a P-30; they sold new for around $265, and nowadays are almost as much as $600.
    An R-31 carbine can fetch about a Grand, and the mags that fit all of them used to sell for $11.
    Depending upon your serial number, you could expect to auction it for about $500, give or take $100.

    Floyd that is probably not going to happen. What you can do is set up a smart search under parts for Grendel P-30 and get e-mails if and when P-30 parts are offered.
