Ok, I know the bolt is different. Are the small parts(specifically the extractor) interchangeable w/5.56?

There is a 6.8mm specific extractor available. That being said, I have been using 5.56mm extractors in my 6.8mm carbines with zero issues for almost 3 years now.

Stephen, Ok, thanks. I was wondering if the radius was different on them, I don't see what else would be.
