Has anyone here ordered from Sanders Armory before?

My dad has a fluted .223 Wilde barrel from them, it looks/shoots nice. He hasn't actually sat down and shot it from a bench to see how it groups yet though.

Personally the fluted 18" is very tempting... thinking I am going to stay with AA though.

I looked for over an hour this morning and only found 1 negative thing which was on Reddit where someone said they ordered a barrel, had an issue, called Sanders and was told "no refunds". They also have a decent Facebook presence. I went ahead and ordered the Odin 20" barrel/BCG/Gas Block to finish my build.

Yes I have and was very pleased with them, Great communication and would order again.

My local Cabelas had 123 Gr SST bullets for $25.88/100. Seemed like a good deal from some quick research online.

As to Sanders I ordered an Odin 20" barrel, BCG and gas block on Thursday and they arrived on Saturday. Emailed them a question before I ordered and they responded almost immediately so I think they are good folks.

Be careful with the barrels from Sanders. I agree that they are quite responsive with their communications, but he doesn't seem to be completely up on Grendel chambering. I was told all of his barrels use "... the most recent SAAMI specifications for the Grendel II chambers". Problem is there are no SAAMI specifications for the Grendel II chambers.

I'm pretty sure the 20" OdinWorks is SAAMI chambered and the 18's may be Liberty Grendel II barrels. Don't know what to think about the 16".

One barrel he had awhile ago he said what chamber reamer he used something like Pacific Tool or something like that. I looked it up and it wasn't the SAAMI chamber for that one.

It bothers some people more than others. Having Grendel I and II bolts and Grendel I and II chambers doesn't make it any simpler either.

I ordered the Odin package because I knew what I was getting. Perhaps on other barrels this is an issue.

That's the problem, it's a question of knowing what the product is. My preference is SAAMI, but there are a lot of people happy with their results from the Grendel II. I'd just like to be able to tell what chamber it is without playing 20 questions. Type II chamber doesn't mean anything.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 16" is the Anderson barrel with the Grendel I chamber. PTG offers all of the different variants of chamber reamers, along with the option for a custom design. There are plenty of other threads that address it, but PTG isn't a strong proponent of the SAAMI chamber.

At any rate, Sanders isn't making these barrels, they are simply an internet re-seller (and I'm not implying that there's anything wrong with that).

We're discussing a vendor and his products, not barrels and chambers. Don't you need to be getting back to the rig yet?

Scopelist has the vortex viper pst 2.5-10x32 moa version for $549 right now.

I read on here that they are bca barrels. I asked sanders and was told they have an nda with the manufacturer.
If the 16" is in fact bca, better deal to go straight to them.

Just want to point this out before people jump the gun on this, these handguards are designed for blowback actions and not DI or piston like the Grendel. Looking at the pictures, I don't even think you can get a gas tube into the receiver.

From the JoeBob's
"
These handguards are designed to be only installed on BLOWBACK AR15 uppers such as 9MM, 22LR, 45ACP, etc. They will NOT work with calibers designed to use a gas piston, gas block, or gas tube such as 5.56 or 308"

I agree it's a pretty sweet deal, just be sure it's for the right setup.
