Everything I read is contradicting. Can I put a 7.62x39 barrel on my 6.5 grendel and by that and the magazine being the only other changes have it function properly and safely?

There is actually a reason that the developers of the 6.5 Grendel decided to use a deeper bolt face than the 5.56 NATO. The rim of the Grendel (and 6mm PPC, 6mm ARC and 7.62x39) is thicker than the 5.56 NATO. The bolt is a little deeper to adapt to the thicker rim and make the extractor stronger. Even with the deeper bolts, extractors are the weak link of the Grendel, so pick up an extra one, just in case.
