If you want to buy a cheap barrel because there's a chance it'll deliver consistent sub-minute performance, have at it. Sometimes I choose to buy a crap shoot. Other times, I don't. But I have realistic expectations of bargain bin barrels. Thus, my question about the OP's expectations for this barrel. I'm genuinely interested in what he thinks a $150 Grendel barrel should deliver.
I expect MOA. Even BearCreekArsenal barrels will often do better than MOA. The gamble is not as big as you seem to think. A friend just brought me several boxes containing AR10 parts, a PSA lower, BCA upper, Nikon scope and CMC trigger. The lower sucked but the upper put out a series of 3 shot groups averaging just under .7 MOA. This using Federal 168 gr. GMM.
