Update - Barrel and Bolt were returned to Alexander Arms and they stated it passed the Go/No-Go test so nothing done and returned it to me. Upon receiving it I built upper and it went together flawlessly and looks great. Function test with Wolf 100gr Steel Case ammo was good to go but Hornady 123gr stuck and required much force to open action. Another call to Alexander resulted in them stating that barrel hadn't had finish ream performed prior to shipping. Barrel swapped out and passed functional testing with all types of ammo being used. Testing at range has been going very well and I am very impressed with the 6.5 Grendel's performance up to 300 yards (longest range available but looking for longer one). Gathering reloading data and supplies so that I can begin reloading my own to see if performance can be improved at all.
