    AR 7.62x39 bolt and carrier.... Will it work?



    Item #758 is a bolt carrier with a 7.62x39 bolt;

    Question: Will this bolt work on a Grendel barrel?

    Thanks

    No. Headspacing wouldn't be correct.

    Grendel chamber uses a recessed bolt face. Doubtful that a 7.62x39 bolt with standard recess would close completely on a cartridge in a Grendel chamber. And even if it did, it would still potentially be unsafe. Not recommended.

    Some variant chambers have used a 7.62x39 bolt, but not the Grendel as far as I know.

      Thanks. I need a bolt carrier and thought I would get this one and have an extra Grendel bolt to boot... Thanks for setting me straight.
