Don't hold me too that - I would call them to confirm. McGowan is the only other barrel manufacturer I could find without having to get a gunsmith involved. I went with them since they would do a 26" with an XL gas port, 1:7 twist and said they would headspace to my (Monster) bolt when I asked what boltface depth they used. They were doing the 15% off and BHW hadn't started their 30% off.
A 6.5 Grendel bushing die will do the sizing job and a 6mm PPC seater will do the trick.
AR15 Performance is one of the other options out there, but they won't have any barrels until the Spring.
6mmAR.com does complete uppers only
Thanks very much for the info!! I Ill contact ARP and research McGowan and BHW too. It seems like for ease of use the BHW barrel option might be the easiest way to go for getting a barrel. I just want to make sure their 243LBC is the same as far as ease of reloading that the 6mmAR is with essentially just having to resize the Grendel case down to a 6mm and no fire forming or anything extra involved.
