6.5 G to 22 ARC Conversion

If I have an AR-15 in 6.5 Grendel, is swapping the barrel the only change necessary to convert it to 22 arc?

Yep. Not sure what you are using in terms of a gas system (block, rifle/carbine, etc) or buffer, so those may need to be tweaked to get optimum performance, but you bolt and mags are the same between the two.

Yes , long as you have a Type II bolt.
But only the early ones used the depth of the 7.62x39 bolt (Type I).
Doing the same thing myself.
