The
Faxon Type II .136 Bolt is designed for shooters building or maintaining modern 6.5 Grendel and 6mm ARC rifles. Precision machined from durable 9310 steel and built around the current Type II Grendel specification, this bolt provides the strength, reliability, and compatibility serious AR builders demand.
One of the most common points of confusion within the 6.5 Grendel world has historically been bolt compatibility. Early Grendel rifles utilized differing bolt face depths, leading to the Type I and Type II terminology that still appears throughout the industry. The Faxon Type II bolt utilizes the modern
.136-inch bolt face depth specification that has become the industry standard for quality 6.5 Grendel and 6mm ARC builds.
Constructed from premium 9310 steel and finished with a durable black nitride treatment, this bolt is engineered to withstand the increased bolt thrust generated by cartridges such as 6.5 Grendel and 6mm ARC while delivering long service life and dependable reliability. The nitride finish enhances wear resistance and corrosion protection while providing smooth operation under demanding conditions.
Whether assembling a new hunting rifle, upgrading a precision AR platform, or keeping critical spare parts on hand, a quality bolt is one of the most important components in the rifle. The Faxon Type II bolt provides shooters with confidence that their rifle is built around modern specifications and proven materials.
