Do you mean ".264 LBC"?

[Eldonkey]

Yes 264 lbc sorry

[A5BLASTER]

Lots of members say they have good results with the 264 lbc, and lots of members say they have good results with the sammi specd grendel barrels.

Its all your choice im sure either barrel will shot good for you, just select a barrel that comes with a headspaced bolt that has the .136 face thats in your price range and install and enjoy.

My grendel has the satern barrel, .136 bolt but has what brownells and satern call the grendel II chamber.

You should be good. BHW barrels are 264 LBC

i've been shooting both types , no problems this far--

my AAs and sabers use the deep bolt and my spinta uses a 264 LBC -- both types seem accurate and reliable. i don't think the 264/grendel chamber is an issue provided the bolt matches the chamber.

ah1whiskey, are you using a .125 bolt with your Spinta barrel?

If you're using a .136" bolt face depth with a chamber that was reamed for a .124" bolt face, you're going to have problems. What barrel is it and where is the bolt from?

[devildogandboy]

mine is the BHW 22" barrel. i'm happy with the results i have been getting. i''m not a blaster, just shoot targets and no problems my unit.
