AR-15 BCGs, Bolts, & Firing Pins?

[kcofohio]

Hopefully I lay out my questions plain enough.

Right now I have 223/556 & 300 Blk uppers. But I'm wanting to get the parts to build a 6.5 Grendel upper.

If I understand correctly, the difference between 223/556 and 6.5 Grendel BCGs is the bolt? The carrier is the same, correct? Is the firing pin the same between them?

Also, is there a recommended supplier of spare bolt, carrier, parts, and pins?

TIA, kc

Magazines, Bolt, extractor and barrel will be different.

All else will be the same.

Make sure your bolt matches your barrel chamber... Type 1 or Type 2

Okay, thanks, that's the first I have read of that.

In these times it looks like I will have to piecemeal the parts and ammo as they come available.

Even if the carrier and firing pin are the same I would opt for a complete differenct BCG for the 6.5 for sheer convenience.

I'm planning on getting a different treated carrier so the color will stand out from the rest. But I intend on having extra bolts, extractors, pin, etc. on hand.
