Type II bolt on a Type 1 chamber
#8
worthen86ford Wrote:That’s the kind of input i was looking for guys thanks.

To be honest the reason i asked is because against my better judgement I ordered a BHW 14.5” .264 LBC MLGS from true sporting arms. I have the feeling of regret now and wish I didn’t do it but the barrel has shipped so cancelling the order and/or returning it will be more of a hassle than the $140 it cost me. The regret is mostly on the fact that these barrels are head spaced with a .125” bolt face depth and thus bolt interchangeability between my grendels will not be viable. Not a huge deal, but I’ve got to figure out what bolt i’m gonna go with.


In your case, it is possible to use a finish reamer to deepen the headspace. (Assuming you crave it enough.)

On the other hand, if you want to continue with the barrel as-is, you can get the bolt from a number of places, including here:

ETA: FWIW, I have two BHW's, both headspace for .135", and both are fine barrels. Having a .125" headspace isn't the end of the world. Several members on this board have them and report few issues. Of course, YMMV.
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
