A link chain, as a conveying chain, comprised of endless chain strands produced by connecting terminal inner links of two preassembled chain portions with at least one securement outer link via chain bolts preassembled at a first end on the securement outer link and/or the terminal inner links. A second free end of each chain bolt is inserted into an associated opposite outer link and is provided with a stepped extension extending beyond the associated opposite outer link through which it is inserted. Each extension has a diameter less than a diameter of openings provided on links for receiving chain bolts that are to be pressed or deformed thereon, and also has a formation for a removable attachment of a securement device serving for temporary assembly of the link chain portions with one another. For final assembly, the chain bolts are fixedly connected to associated outer links by a bolt press that effects pressing of bolt shafts, which adjoin the extensions, into the openings of the associated opposite outer links.
