Hello all, just jumped into the 6.5gr head first after much time debating between this an AR10 in 308. Obvious choice was the 6.5gr after I ran into a great deal on a complete upper. Have bought some hornady 123gr ammo an some black as well, this will be mostly for hunting coues deer here in AZ so 200-400yds shoots.
Heres my problem. Upper is a complete Radical Arms 20 type 2. Well after receiving the assy all it says is grendel 6.5 on the barrel an after measuring the bolt face recess its at .125 which leads me to belive the bolt is a 7.62x39 bolt that from research is for the type 1 barrel. Have reached out to customer aervice about this an On the RA web site it just shows that its a 6.5grendel barrel an standard BCG. My fear is having mix matched barrel an bolt an making this unsafe to fire.
Aside from getting a go- no-go gauge what else can be done. Any one deal with RA before?
Will post pics in a bit
