rences may be due only to the A1/A2
variants but this is not an indicator of
whether the rifle is military or civilian.
LOOSE ROUNDS
Most of the military and commercial
GROT parts are modular and inter-
changeable although the weapon will
not function in some of the possible
configurations. Military rifle with the
military trigger will not run with a ci-
vilian bolt carrier. Sport rifles will not
run with military BCG, etc. Well, you
can assemble early sport upper and
military lower and bolt carriers but
this might be considered a felony. In
sport GROTs from current production
runs, you won't be able to insert the
military bolt carrier and if you will
place the civilian bolt carrier into the
military rifle you will be only able to
shoot in single fire. But as I mentio-
ned, the number of early sport GROT
was extremely limited and are good
example of the changes in the desi-
gn which were implemented over the
time, mostly to comply with some
export regulations in the potential
commercial markets, were civilian
shooters are prohibited to use mil-
-spec parts in their firearms or barrels
with bayonet lugs. But still GROT is a
highly modular and configurable sho-
oting platform.
