From the ARP website ....... 18" stainless barrel chambered for the 6.5 and 264LBC .297 neck 1.5 degree throat angle. SPR contour, mid gas, 5R rifling.
How can it possibly be a Grendel and have a .297 throat???? If it were a Grendel, it would have a .300 throat.

chamber. Has a .297 neck, 1.5 degree throat for better accuracy
They will be headspaced on a typical 7.62x39 bolt face so our super strong 7.62x39
bolts will work, the muzzle of the barrel will be threaded 5/8-24 so standard flash hiders work.
On the web page I think he's referring to the cartridge rather than the chamber. Sounds like a slightly looser version of the lbc. Perhaps if AA had SAMMIed and released the G earlier things would be cleaner. Perhaps not. Who knows?
