Midway - Grendel II
Just noticed that the Stoner barrels are back up at Midway but this time they specify Grendel II in the title and technical info. Of course they don't specify what a Grendel II is or why it's exists.
I would be curious to know their response to an inquiry as to why their Alexander Arms uppers and Shilen barrels have Grendel chambers yet the budget Stoner barrels have Grendel II chambers. The II implies an improvement (although there is not reason to improve a correctly cut/finished chamber).
As a person who rolled the dice and ended up with a short-chambered AR Stoner barrel in January (returned it and went with another brand) I'm a little annoyed by this. Though, in the end, if it gets more people shooting the Grendel it's better for all of us for obvious reasons.
