    When might you be getting more XCR-L .223 18.6" Conversion Kits in?

    I ordered a XCR-L in 7.62X39 and am wondering if you will be getting any .223 18.6" conversion kits in any time soon.
    No such thing as too much ammunition or toilet paper...

    Don't want to hijack your question, but how is the XCR-L in 7.62x39 behaving? Can you recommend it?

    I built my own "kit" from their available parts. 223 barrel, 223 complete bolt, 223 brass deflector. Works great.

    Will need mags too

    They actually don't put kits together anymore. Too many variables. I think you'll find they have all the individual parts in stock and the price works out the same and you get exactly what you want.

    They don't have any of the barrels I need in stock, I don't know how often they get parts in. Also can I order the bolt and it will work? Does it need to be head spaced etc. Too many variables I don't know.

    The x39 rubs like a top.

    To convert between the two cartridges, you'll need a bolt, barrel, and brass deflector. It's a very easy swap. You'll probably just have to adjust the gas setting to whatever ammo you are shooting. No worries about head spacing - just put the barrel on and snug up the nut.

    Good to know it is that simple. Just have to wait till they get new parts stock in.
