I think he is intending to use a longer barrel on the Grendel build and they will charge him more for the "rifle" barrel, whereas they considered his 16.25" 300BLK barrel a "pistol" barrel instead.

It may be that they start with long blanks that will yield two 16.25" barrels and only one barrel (with wastage) in longer lengths. Just my guess.

Yep. That's exactly it. They consider my barrel to be a "pistol barrel" because it is only 16.25" long. So, the fluting is only $75 instead of $155 for a rifle barrel, and the contoured barrel is only $105 instead of the normal $185.

I'm planning on 20-22" for my Grendel.
