Type 1 Bolts/BCG no longer being sold

[navalbeaver]

Holly said $265 retail for the conversion and about a week turn around. I sent another email to verify what's included in that cost. Dealer cost is cheaper but unless your dealer is local, shipping back and forth is going to end up putting the price close to retail.

ETA: stby.... the above is for the parts.... still waiting to hear about the machining/ finishing.

ETA2: the above price includes the milling/ finishing and the bcg. Holly said they don't charge for the work on the lower.

Well, at least they're not charging to retrofit older lowers. That said, I still prefer the Type 1 arrangement.

I have two spare carriers and 3 bolts as well as 6 firing pins and roll pins to hold it all together.

Kermit says he has a few bolts/carriers in stock now....so if one is in the market for spares, I'd suggest contacting him asap.

Maybe not now. That could change, just like how they discontinued type 1. Those thinking about converting probably should lock it in now.

I do not recall if this has been covered (I am old) but if this mod is done to accommodate the Type 2 BCG, can you now use both versions by just switching the required parts?

My guess is no. See images of receivers, BCGs and bolts: https://robinsonarmament.com/xcr-part-identification/

Nope...No going back as you've removed the location for the Type 1 buffer to sit.

Thanks guys. I have spare Type 1 bolts and firing pins so I am good for now I hope.

Thanks, probably something I made need to just get done. Now, I wonder when they’ll stop supporting my type 2 XCR-M. Probably not long before all barrels come with a type 3 block and I’ll need a nee Op rod.

I tried to research which of the type 2 or 3 maybe lighter but can’t find that info.

RA doesn't move very fast. I think you have time on the -M.

I do have a limited number of bolts, carriers and firing pins in stock (Type 1)

Der...didn't see that Kermit posted this before posting my comment about him having spares. Sorry for the repetition.
