    PCC .45 Noob Question on parts compatibility

    I've ended up with a mismash of parts from different manufacturers for the 45ACP PCC I am building.

    My next step is to buy a bolt. I have a New Frontier barrel, a Gibbs side charging upper, and a QC10 lower. Both NFA and QC10 sell an side charging upper that is obviously the Gibbs, but NFA's looks modded while the QC10 looks stock. Gibbs claims their G9 upper is compatible with 45 ACP, but they don't sell a 45 bolt and their 9mm bolt looks different from both the NFA and QC10 bolts.

    So who should I buy my bolt from? Do I need to match the barrel manufacturer? Is their headspace issues with blowback PCC's? I assume both the NFA and QC10 bolts are compatible with the Gibbs uppers, but the blocks on the top of the bolts are ramped whereas the Gibbs version is not. Need to confirm that.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Did you ask Gibbz what .45 bolt they recommend? They're pretty good about that sort of stuff.
