I used to do a lot of precision rifle shooting and 2 man team precision matches. Had a lot of fun with it and always wanted to build a Grendel for the obvious capabilities of the round. Before i could get things together, life happened, shooting slowed down, and I found myself in the hog hunting world and was using my 6.8 for that. It always nagged at me to build a Grendel SBR and test it on pigs.
Anyhow, I'm finally there. I purchased a 20' Wilson Barrel through JSE Surplus, Got in on the Faxon Group Buy for the 12" SBR (Barrels being reworked), and I'm ready to build.
Going back to look at the Wilson Bbl I purchased, it apparently has a .125 bolt face depth chamber. I have an Alexander arms bolt and two of the Faxon bolts, all of which are .136" bolt face depth.
Could someone link an old thread that might discuss the differences and what type of issues I might have? I ordered the Wilson Barrel as it is supposed to be SAAMI spec'd , but now it looks like I need to pick up a .125" bolt?
Thanks.
