Faxon Firearms 6.5 Grendel Type 2 BCG – AR-15 Platform

The Faxon 6.5 Grendel Type 2 BCG is a purpose-built bolt carrier group designed specifically for AR-15 rifles chambered in 6.5 Grendel. This BCG addresses the unique bolt face dimensions and pressure profile required for the 6.5 Grendel cartridge, replacing standard 5.56/.223 BCGs that are incompatible with this caliber. Upgrading to a dedicated Grendel BCG ensures proper headspacing, reliable extraction, and consistent feeding in builds optimized for medium-game hunting and long-range precision shooting.

Machined from 8620 steel with a Carpenter 158 steel bolt, this BCG features a salt bath nitride finish that provides corrosion resistance and reduced friction for smoother cycling and easier cleaning. The Type 2 designation indicates compatibility with the standard Alexander Arms bolt specification used in most 6.5 Grendel barrels. This is a drop-in component for AR-15 upper receivers with proper 6.5 Grendel barrels and does not require gunsmithing for installation.
