ben:  those people went out of business a long time ago and regrettably I do not know of anyone who would/could service their product.  I had thought about purchasing one of their 22 magnum auto pistols but they went out of business just before I was going to make the purchase.  That changed my mind, but I thought their design was worthwhile and hope that someone brings it back to life.  Mikey.

I read/heard somewhere that Grendel morphed into Kel-Tec. How true that is or if Kel-Tec would be any help I don't know.

Thanks for the replies.  I looked at the Kel Tec site and didn't see any mention of Grendel products.  I had thought the some thing for some reason, think I read somewhere that Kel Tec used Grendel design in some of their stuff may be why.  Thanks again.

Hey guys,

Grendel did become Kel-Tec. I believe the founder's name of both is George Kelgren. Kel-Tecs are solid guns for the money, but I've never shot any of the older Grendels. A 30 round .22 WMR pistol sounds interesting. That .22 WMR is a good, almost mysterious round. It seems to have power that just shouldn't be there in that tiny case.
Even without grocery stores, I won't go hungry.
