Bought a Brownells 6.5 Grendel Type 11 BCG for my WC barreled build. Read a couple of threads on this BCG with too short a bolt. <2.820. Measured this bolt and sure enough the bolt is 2.793 long ( measured 3 times) with a firing pin length of 3.265.
My Monster bolt is 2.820 of course with a firing pin length of 3.282 using a Bravo Co. Ion Bonded BCG with the 5.56 bolt replaced with the MONSTER Bolt matched with a MONSTER GB 16 in. barrel and everything plays well together.
What are the ramifications of using the Brownells Grendel BCG as is with my WC barrel?? Should I return the Brownells BCG and either purchase a Wilson Combat Grendel BCG ($225,00 and out of stock). Or get another MONSTER Bolt and get a different carrier group? I have not heard good things about Tool Craft BCGs but have no experience with them.
I have not fired this weapon yet as I just finished (I thought) building it.
Any info and advise/recommendations are appreciated. I have gotten so much great info and advise from other members and obviously have much to learn.
Thanks to all
