I've got two Faxon GB barrels from some time back. A 16" I built for my dad, and a 12.5" I built and run myself. Both are on point. Both needed the chamber polished, but I was okay with that personally as it allowed me to tinker a bit and made the builds more fun. Both barrels shoot better than their prices say they should. Both Nitrided, with BFT's EE rifling (Easy Engraving).
I started Grendel with an ARP barrel. When I sent a few questions regarding it's specs, he referred me to the website and asked if I read? First contact with a customer. In hindsite, it was a good lesson. Ask questions before buying. He wasn't friendly, or interested in my questions. The barrel was consistently 1.5 MOA with factory ammo. It was a 20", and it ran fine. It wasn't overly impressive, but then again, it was my first Grendel barrrel. Either way, I wouldn't buy anything from him again personally. Politics aside, he wasn't great to deal with, which is enough for me to not recommend his products.
