Liberty Barrel Group Buy Build Comments

Did they say anything about the bolt? Like yours mine is T.I.G.H.T - TIGHT. It will fit, and moves as it should, once installed, but getting it inserted into the carrier is a task.

I worked mine a bit and it got better. Most of the time there will be a live or a spent casing in the bolt face, so it may not be an issue. I am thinking with the claw so far down the bolt face it should get a good grip for extraction, as seen in post #37. Lindsey did day I could return it, but they won't have any bolts to replace it for a week. Call her first. Does your tail of your extractor show I bit high as in post #6?

I'll have to check it when I get home.

Here is what ours looks like. I took one out of our packaging to show quickly before I fly out in the early AM to SHOT. But I think you will be fine with the Liberty bolt that you have pictured (and that one is NOT ours). When the brass is in the bolt face your extractor will be sitting perfect.

Are those 5.56 modified extractors, or 6.5 Grendel extractors on your bolt?

We don't modify extractors. We machine everything here in our facility from bar stock. The extractors on our 6.5 Grendel bolts are true 6.5 Grendel extractors.

can i expect problems with a bolt that has a extractor being used from a rebuild kit for a 223/556 bolt?

[Sputnik]

I am told if it isn't one right, it may cause some problems and really scratch up the casing with bad extraction marks. I think it is always better to make them from scratch like Underground Tactical say they do. I don't know the particulars as to what parts get ground away.

If you compare a .223 extractor to a Grendel extractor you will see the grove the case rim slips in is much smaller on the 5.56.

man i sure am glad i asked this. i was about to order a couple of bolt maintainance kits but for 556. i guess that the rest the parts would be OK? or does anyone know where i can buy bolt maintainence kits for a stripped grendel bolt?

[jurassic]

Extractors are impossible to find also. Although that may change now that we have 2 new bolt mfg's. I'm not sure about everything else, but the ejector length may be different also. The spring for the ejector, and extractor pin are the same.

doing a little reasearch(instead of house cleaning) i found this online,,,,,,,,,,
"I have successfully used DPMS 7.62x39 extractors in AA 6.5 G bolts without any modification."

now this was online so it must be true right?

and yes this house is a mess,,,,,,

[Tedward]

I know people who cut and modify .556 extractors to work on a Grendel .135 bolt. A 7.62x39 is made for a .125 head space so it will need modified too.

I agree with what jurassic said, maybe one of the new guys on the bolt manufacturing will be offering them as rebuild kits soon. Right now I think there just trying to get complete bolts out the door.

When are your bolts going to be ready to ship? Also what is the OAL of the bolts?

7.62x39 bolts and extractors are hard to find also.

[dammitman]

why does my world always have to be in the "hard to find" area? i need different hobbys

[Underground Tactical]

7.62x39 bolts and extractors are hard to find also.

We are currently in production of those. And will be offering them soon.
