    Is this Maxim barrel made by Satern?

    20" 6.5 GRENDEL MEDIUM CONTOUR DOUBLE FLUTED 5 FLUTE 1-8 .750 GAS BLOCK RIFLE GAS SYSTEM THREADED 5/8-24Medium Contour Double Fluted AR-15 Barrel is manufactured from 416R Stainless Steel and uses 5R Rifling with a 1 in 8" Twist. Additional features include a Rifle Length Gas Port, M4 Feed


    A20" 1.9lb barrel looks pretty good if it shoots.

    Certainly seems like the "kind" of barrel they make. One key bit of info missing: What is the chambering? If "Grendel II," then for sure it's a Satern.

      It is priced like a liberty barrel. I just looked at the Satern cut rifled barrels and the specifically say SAAMI spec chamber. $450 with bolt.
      Are these barrels known quality and performance?

          Concur ONLY if the purchaser knows that "Grendel II" is NOT compliant with the SAAMI specification for the Grendel compound throat.

          The chamber will perform very well for some, but not all bullets.

          The SAAMI spec chamber, on the other hand, has repeatably demonstrated excellent performance for just about all bullets tried in it and by multiple shooters.
