EC, that's gonna be a judgment call. Could be "loose" chamber. Could be ammo dimensions. The SAAMI 65G chamber up around the shoulder area allows 0.005" play, and around the case head above the extraction groove allows 0.008 play. A cartridge has to be smaller than the chamber — right? — so there's gonna be some play, but not much.

Your call.
Side note: I wonder if I should stop getting involved in group buys here.... Been part of three so far and 2/3's of them have had recall issues now. LOL First was the Lilja barrel group buy with the incorrect reamer used.... what are the odds the bolt group buy will have issues since I got in on it too?

I have an email in to Faxon to see what they say and to make sure that are also checking that when they QC them. I bet they will want to check my barrel just to make sure since they are standing behind their product.

We did check chambers for "loose" and found the chambers 100% in-specification for SAAMI. The loose is likely caused by the small deformation of the pin into the chamber not letting bullets go all the way in without the force of a BCG. Some barrels have less protrusion than others and many will have none.
It's why we are taking back any and all barrels that customers are willing to send back. It's not a safety issue, but it's not something we can stand to see in the field with Quality being one of our core foundations.
Our sincere thanks to all here who have already responded. Its awesome to work with good people and to have the opportunity to serve.

Faxon, is the fix going to be making all new barrels with the pin being more recessed so the chamber is 100% barrel material or ream out the chamber so the pin is flush?
My pin is visible but not potruding visibly so if the latter is the solution, I probably wont send it in.
