Faxon Firearms AR-15 6.5 Grendel Type II (.136" Co-Bore) Bolt - 9310 Nitride

The Faxon Firearms AR-15 6.5 Grendel Type II (.136" Co-Bore) Bolt - 9310 Nitride is a high-quality and durable bolt designed for AR-15 rifles. This bolt features several improvements over traditional bolt carrier groups, making it a reliable and efficient choice for firearm enthusiasts.

One of the major enhancements of this bolt is the use of 9310 tool steel, a material known for its exceptional strength. This steel construction ensures that the bolt can withstand rigorous use and perform reliably under high pressure. Additionally, the bolt is fully MPI tested to guarantee the material's integrity, ensuring that it is defect-free.

To further enhance its performance, the bolt is nitrided, a process that increases surface hardness and corrosion resistance. This nitride treatment also reduces friction and resistance, allowing for smooth and effortless operation. With this coating, the bolt is more durable and less prone to wear and tear compared to bolts with traditional chrome and phosphated finishes.

The bolt lugs are chamfered to a 45-degree angle, ensuring optimal reliability when using high-pressure hand loads and lightweight actions. This chamfering guarantees that the bolt locks securely into place, providing consistent and dependable action.

The extractor, a critical component of the bolt, is made from S7 Tool Steel, renowned for its strength and durability. The extractor is then sprung using a spring, o-ring, and silicone insert, further enhancing reliability and ensuring proper extraction.

When ordered with a barrel, Faxon offers a comprehensive headspacing service, guaranteeing that the bolt and barrel are perfectly matched for safe and reliable function. This service includes unique laser engraving on both the barrel and the bolt, adding a personalized touch to your firearm.

The Faxon Firearms AR-15 6.5 Grendel Type II (.136" Co-Bore) Bolt - 9310 Nitride meets MIL-SPEC standards and undergoes full heat treatment, shot peening, and magnetic particle inspection (MPI). The bolt face is specifically designed for 6.5 Grendel cartridges, providing optimum performance.

Please note that when ordering this bolt without a specifically checked barrel, it is essential to verify the headspacing for safe and reliable function. Faxon recommends using Pacific Tool & Gauge headspace kits for accurate measurements and provides detailed instructions on headspacing in their blog post.
