Not sure about the cross pin issue.
AA's chamber is the SAAMI specification chamber, and guaranteed to work with all Grendel 6.5 ammunition. The LBC chamber has multiple different specs, (.295 neck, .300 neck, etc.) and no one seems to be real specific about saying which barrel has which specification.
If I were building a Grendel, it would have a Grendel chamber, not one of the various other 6.5 iterations available.
AA bolts are built to the SAAMI spec as well, so you have that surety that all of the pieces will work. So far as quality, I suspect they are comparable otherwise.
I just can't figure out why anyone, at this point in time, would buy anything BUT the SAAMI spec for an AR.
In a bolt gun, I might feel otherwise, but in an AR, buy a SAAMI spec Grendel.

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
