Without telling me who the vendor was, Brownells forwarded a response from the manufacturer which not only paraphrased what Satern had originally said about the chamber being SAAMI because Go/NoGo gauges worked, but also directed me to a website the manufacturer considered to be the best source of information on the Grendel. That website happens to belong to the same ex-member who's been carrying Satern's water for the last year or so.
In short, if avoiding another Grendel II from Satern is the OP's intent, Brownells cannot help him.
That, Sir, is what I was afraid of. I said lots of cuss words a few minutes ago upon reading it. I had suspected that what brownell's sells is Saturn/ liberty since they are so close. Crap. And I got the barrel from a private seller of the arf. he gave me the receipt from Saturn when I bought it. I think I'm in a bind. I had eventually thought about getting a 24 inch Benjamin barrel out of Washington, since I've shot with him and shot a rfile of his which was absolutely outstanding. My other thought was Lilja since I am Montana Proud and he does make a fine product.
Oh, fudge-cicles!!!
