    Any industrial supply store, Gregg distributors, Northern Metallic, etc. Can get you a proper bolt. Just bring in the bolt you want to use and the factory Grizzly bolt, and tell them you need a bolt of this Length with this thread.

    Ounces leads to pounds, pounds lead to pain.
    Light, strong and cheap - pick two.

    That's a basic national coarse/national fine to metric comparison, but they are not equivelant and are not interchangeable.

So I used a section of the bolt with the matching threads, and welded it onto (most of) the original long stock bolt that had the wrong threads, and presto! A little bit of grinding & welding, but I had the stock installed in a lot less time than it would have taken me to track down a bolt of the proper length with the proper threads. Like I said, not much help if you don't have a welder.

    You did a great job to weld them, I don't need that long, one and half inch is enough for the new stock.

    I just found one Fastenal close to me, I will check with them first. Thanks to everyone!

    I just took the bolt that came with the gun to home hardware, searched through to find a nut that would thread on it, then found a bolt that was the same thread as that nut... thus both bolts being the same thread. Took me 5 minutes at home hardware. Im sure you could do the same at canadian tire, they have a nut and bolt section.
