Welcome! My first Grendel was an LW barrel, that finally went away after 6000 rounds or so.
I am a dedicated Grendelite, but the consumer is the one who has taken the flak for disagreements in how the Grendel was handled. I agree 100% with Bill Alexanders decision to handle licensing the way he did, but I certainly understand the difficulties that some buyers faced because of those issues. Many didn't even realize there were issues until long after they had their rifles!
BUT....I've talked about this with many owners, and even discussed it at length with Bill. Although we acknowledge that the "clone" barrels may have issues with factory ammunition, the purpose of those barrels was to take advantage of a great cartridge, and we all want everyone who shoots a Grendel or clone to be happy with what they have.
Probably half the members here have variants of some kind: CSS, LW, LBC .264, 6.5 Sporter, whatever.
We are a community dedicated to the cartridge, and we are determined to help and befriend all who want to belong and do so in a responsible, adult, and interactive way.
There will be some good natured ribbing from time to time, but its all in good fun, we don't much tolerate those who want to bicker and fight over everything. Everyone would do well to try to emulate the spirit of the quote in my signature, and by a vast majority, most do!
Welcome again!
BTW....pictures of your rifle are required!

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
