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

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.
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.

Its great, put about 4000 rounds down range, started to jam up noticed worn out bolt replaced it and about 2000 rounds since all steel cased of course
yeah to wear out a bolt after 4k rounds seems very low...must have been a bad bolt from the start...I would have contacted rob arms for a replacement...they are awesome to deal with and super fast...I contacted them one day and immediately had a email from wolverine the next day...part in the mail
or my guess is that maybe it could be that it wore out your extractor...the steel lacquered cases tend to fit tight/stick in the chamber....I had a few stuck in the beginning with my 7.62.....I polished the chamber...and it ran perfectly after..
wolverine/rob arms a great team![]()
i did email you guys at wolverine i guess i had one of the earlier models with known bad bolts and you guys replaced it and all good now! cant go wrong with wolverine!
That makes perfect sense, there were a few with "soft" bolts. You should be good to go for many many thousands of rounds now.
i will certainly work on it thanks!
