Do the 7.62x39 XCRs use the same bolt/extractor as the 6.5x39? If so, does that meean that all I have to do to switch from 7.62x39 to 6.5x39 is change the barrel and put in the appropriate mag?

They share a parent case (.221 Russian, or somesuch) so I would think they OUGHT to use the same bolt...

It's the same parent case.... same bolt. But you will end up with a spare bolt when you buy the conversion kit. Which is not a bad idea. :2cents:

gunner, I wasn't trying to save money on the bolt. Like you suggest, I would order the Con. kit because I would want a spare bolt anyway. It was more of an operational question on how easy/fast the caliber change change would be. With similar bullet weights and a 100RD zero, I wonder how much the zero would change out to 200 yards.

When I went from 5.56 to 6.8 it was only about 1 1/2 0ff at 100. That works for me in a pinch, until I can re-zero. :2cents:
