AR-Stoner 6.5 Grendel barrel short chambered.

[cory]

I don't work for satern but i hate to see a good company dragged through the mud with a bunch of BS either. What are all he issues again? You can load an SST to 2.265 or even 2.27 way past the hornady 2.245 recommendation. You can load from 85gr to 140gr Noslers BT. I have done it and it works great. If you really sift through the thread you don't have anyone having any real issues other than panic that they think they might have an issue. Other than the first poster. Don't get confused by the side topis of other barrels that are splashed in and aren't obviously identified as not satern barrels. Some posts are cleverly written by someone that is obviously stiring crap to give the impression that the barrels are over pressured etc. It was long ago the same set of characters where spreading the rumor that they were made in the PI in sweatshops.

You think Satern is being dragged through the mud here. It's quite the contrary. If you want to see a company dragged through the mud go to snipershide. There's a few threads there that do a good job. I've read this entire thread and not one person has swore off buying a Satern or Liberty barrel. Like Mark said in Manufacturing mistakes happen, otherwise companies wouldn't issue warranties.

A mistake doesn't define a company, how they respond to it does. We've been very patiently waiting for Satern to respond to these barrels. However, we're not going to sit back and not suggest to stop shooting barrels that show a potential to be unsafe. Nobody has suggested trashing these barrels.

Mark talking crap about a competitor on a forum is low class.

Seriously?!?!?!?! Mark was nothing but respectful.


I think a big problem here is that it's not clear how many barrels have problems and how short those throats are.

This thread has become far to convoluted.

I really have no skin in the game here, so I'll do it. A new thread needs to be started where a count is keep in the original post.

If you have a barrel that you have reason to believe you have a short chamber, please pm me with your barrel info, factory ammo that's jamming into the lands, and any max oal/col - bullet you were able to measure in your chamber. If you've fixed it please include what you did and before and after measurements if possible.
