.264LBC Type 1 vs 6.5 Grendel - Schwag173 - 08-22-2014 OK, here is what happened: I jumped at a good buy on a "6.5 Grendel" BHW barrel from Surplus Ammo & Arms, $208 for a barrel and stripped upper shipped immediately. http://www.surplusammo.com/blackhole-weaponry-ar-15-18-mid-length-stainless-steel-6-5-grendel-1-9-poly-barrel/ I opened the box and find ".264LBC Type 1" stamped on the barrel. OK, here are my questions: 1. I don't care about the label, but should I expect any interchangeability issues? (I reload for two other Grendels) I already have steel-cased FMJ coming from AA. Any issue shooting it though this barrel? 2. The barrel came with no bolt. From whom shall I order the correct headspaced bolt for a "Type 1 .264LBC." Can I get it from AA? Is it the same as a standard Grendel bolt? :confused: Thanks, brothers. .264LBC Type 1 vs 6.5 Grendel - tackdriver - 08-22-2014 I ordered the same barrel and I am pretty sure the type 1 is the .125 bolt face also the same as most 7.62*39 bolts. Maxim Firearms sells these bolts and model 1 sales does also. I am sure someone will chime in if my info is incorrect. .264LBC Type 1 vs 6.5 Grendel - tackdriver - 08-22-2014 I guess I should say that I had a BHW 20" and it was type 1 and it ran like a top with the inexpensive Model 1 sales bolt .264LBC Type 1 vs 6.5 Grendel - NugginFutz - 08-22-2014 You can get one from tactical ammunition, an industry partner with BHW. I also understand that just about any 7.62 x 39 bolt will suffice. .264LBC Type 1 vs 6.5 Grendel - LRRPF52 - 08-22-2014 I would get one of the Maxim Firearms 7.62x39 bolts made from 9310 alloy steel. http://www.maximfirearms.com/online-store/complete-7-62-x-39-bolt/ .264LBC Type 1 vs 6.5 Grendel - Schwag173 - 08-22-2014 Thanks, everybody.
