    Just re-read the BA Grendel descriptions. Under additional information - "Grendel type 2 chamber". There is NO reference to SAAMI whatsoever for ANY of their Grendel offerings.

      I think or at least I would hope that as more and more reputable ammo manufacturers come out with ammo for it. The barrels and chambering will become more and more standardized under SAAMI as well. Because that IS after all the entire reason standardized exists.

        Not so sure about that. The standard (SAAMI chamber) existed before Satern started selling the Grendel II Liberty barrels. I've convinced myself that it's more cost effective to produce Grendel II barrels since the throat is so much deeper and they don't need to watch the reamer wear as closely. Plus the fact that there is no standard for Grendel II.

          How hard is it to say "SAAMI cut chamber - 0.136" bolt face depth"?

          We should as a buying public insist that company we buy a barrel from needs to list this exact description on their product page - otherwise no $$$.

              One thing is for certain, their marketing description needs adjustment.

                BA did follow through in finding the correct information which I find most impressive.

                  Now that we have a response from BA, can someone edit the title of this thread? It's misleading now that we have more information.

                    Would if I could, but can't... Hope Tony closes the loop with BA's web admin to get their Grendel descriptions corrected...

                      I don't see anything wrong with it. If BA went in and changed all their descriptions so that they cleared up the confusion this thread could end on a very positive note for them.

                      That would take what..... 15-minutes of editing?
