AR15 Left Hand 6.5 Grendel Bolt? ...

[HB of CJ]

Anyone here know where a Lefty can find a high quality AR15 Left Hand 6.5 Grendel bolt? I can modify a RH barrel extension to a LH format.

Also, has anyone tried to see if a 6.8 SPC LH bolt head would work with the 6.5 Grendel? I dunno fur sures. Probably not so there you have it.

hundreds of AR15 builds. also left handed. bummer.

Underground tactical. Email Jason the owner. Tell him Grant sent you. Unbelievable guys over there. I just finished a 6.5 in a lefty for my fathers birthday.

Just make sure you pic the bolt to match your barrel. Underground still cuts their barrels for the type I , which allows the bolt to have a little more meat on the bones (less prone from breakage on the lugs)

Most 6.5 Grendel's barrels on the market are a type II.

Underground barrels are amazing, made in house , and their machinist are all vets !! Buy their combo.

Thank you KeepnitReel!

My main concern over a fairly high round count, (less than 5K) is that the service/safety life of the weakened 6.5 Grendel bolt rim may be exceeded. Material is removed.

 

[KeepnitReel]

Agreed, that's why underground does type I bolts with their barrels.

Type 2 uses a .136" bolt face recess while type 1 uses a .125" bolt face recess.

KeepnitReel: Thank you. I did not know what difference there was. Just learned something new. Therefore it would safe to assume, (dangerous word!) that a type one 6.5 Grendel AR15 barrel extension/barrel would have to go with the type 1 Grendel LH bolt?

And to assume the type one might be slightly stronger, thus perhaps enjoying a longer service life. A couple of correct proper head spaceed bolts might be a valid solution to the reduced bolt life? About every 1000 rounds swap out the bolts using the same barrel.

Wondering right now where I can find a premium threaded left hand 20" 6.5 Grendel heavy barrel with the A2 taper pin front OEM sight assembly. Finding the taper pin version will be the difficulty. Oh the joys of being a South Paw. Thank you again for your help.

I wouldn't hesitate to email Underground. Address it to Jason , I'm sure he could build a barrel for your needs. He called me in a day to discuss my needs , and I was like you just 4 weeks ago. This build cost for my fathers birthday rifle has me praising to the gun gods that I'm right handed!!!!!! I feel for you lefties

Just finished. My lefty father's 70th birthday present. He shot one of mine a few years ago and since then every time we get to see each other (maybe twice a year) he always brings up that day of shooting. Looking forward to seeing his reaction in a few weeks when he gets here. 6.5 Grendel

Nah. Not possible. You just reversed the photo! You also went to great length to reverse the Porsche sign. You cleverly also reversed the paper bag, cement mixer and gas can half full of gas. And .... you .... you .... you did not reverse the lower receiver mag drop and butt stock stuff?

No. Wait. Is that a real LEFT HAND 6.5 Grendel AR15 rifle? Wow. Wow! More WOW!! I want one. My eye doctor said I have advanced eyeball erosion. How come he asked? I told him 25K+ AR15 and M16 rounds. He nodded. No more, he strongly suggested. I need and want a LH AR 15 rifle.

Thank you. KeepnitReel. Are you happy with the butt stock assembly? I want the older A2 RIFLE stock setup.

Fittment is good with the Luth-ar, took awhile to get all the parts needed to complete this build. Big thanks to Jason at Underground Tactical for the barrel and bolt. Billet upper from black rain, billet lower from new frontier. The only main issues now I see is the scope base, ejection cover opens upward on a lefty , hoping to see good ejections with the current setup but might have to go nightforce rings since they use a small lock nut vs quick connect system.

Which type of bolt and barrel extension will head space correctly and safely chamber and shoot using factory "SAMMAI", (sp?) 6.5 Grendel ammo? Type one and type one, or type 2 and type 2? Or is this a non issue? Do not mix the types. I admit my 6.5 Grendel knowledge is still spinning up. Old school.

I'm pretty sure type 1 , but again I would contact underground tactical. They build all the bolts for almost every 6.5 G manufacturers.
