      That's good news, been tempted to contact them but trying to restrain myself. Plus my optic isn't available yet anyway so I'll still be waiting on it.

            Not to kick a hornets nest but the are doing what the call a gredel 2 which is a Grendel chamber with a 6.5x47mm throat instead of the compound throat design aa uses so it is really a 264 lbc with a .300 neck some people have been having trouble with factory amax not chambering

              My understanding was the Grendel II was an option they are offering in addition to the SAAMI Grendel.

                That was then. Since your order was placed, they have begun producing the non-SAAMI "grendel ii" as an option.
                If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

                  Talked to Myranda at satern couple days ago, Ive had a 20" barrel on order since may 2013, she told me about 3 more months, before the 20" barrels should be ready. Asked about Grendel chamber and she said that it had been a problem with the button barrels and the cut barrels were not grendel 2 chambers unless you asked for that chamber.

                    I ordered mine last August after multiple e-mails with Lindsey, Deb, and Miranda. Got an e-mail confirmation for my order. Everything's great, now just the waiting game, right??? Got to looking through some old e-mail's and saw that it was no extra charge to have them thread my barrel. Why not do it, save me $150 down the road @ can time. So I call em up and ask if they can go ahead and thread it being as they hadn't done it yet . She calls me back and says I have no order on file with them. I send them copy of e-mail confirmation from last August. Says she'll do some checking. Turns out, she spelled my name wrong and I had no order on file and was "lost in the system", but they let me in on the run anyway. Thank god I happened to call, right! They definitely told me it would be done in 6 wks, 3 wks ago. So...... Hopefully, I don't have to add them to my list of folks I will no longer do business with. Seems to be the case with EVERY vendor any more. Fully half the parts I order anymore are wrong when I get them or I just never get them. It's always 2 wks away, 2 wks, 2wks!

                      Last August was when I put my request in as well for a 20" barrel. So all this sounds like good news for me. The barrel and bcg is the last thing on my list for my build.

                        Still haven't heard anything out of them, so I don't know.

                          I'm starting to think that the 22" barrel is something that is gonna keep getting looked over. There are just way too many 20 and 24" barrels on order for them to set up and run 22" barrels. I just wish they'd admit it already so I can order an actual barrel elsewhere.

                            What's stopping you? Lilja or PF would certainly be happy to get you taken care of. Even a BHW .264 LBC can be had in 10 weeks or so. My 22" BHW arrived in an astonishing 3 weeks, but that was 18 months or so, back. Clearly, there are many options for good quality shooters.

                              A Lilja AR24 barrel is only 23 inches from the end of the barrel extension to the crown so it is actually only about 22.5 inches counting the chamber. The are in stock and will ship the next the ams or next day. They might even chop an inch off for you, it would be worth asking.

                                I ordered my latest from BHW on May 19th. Just get my UPS shipment notification in email, 30 minutes ago. Just under 6 weeks, for custom Bull BBL w/ fluting. 22" barrel. OTD for under $400.
