if this was a wildcat it would be a different story but it isn't and you shouldn't have to fire lap a new barrel just so it can chamber spec ammo,
as far as xcr you are attacking someone for no reason, Mark was just trying to help and give his opinion he wasn't bad mouthing anyone. just stating what they should do. if you are so but hurt and worried about your group buy then if i was you I would be on saturns back till they got the problem resolved. not defending them at every turn for something that obviously isn't right.
a chamber can't be in spec if factory rounds don't fit and there have been several comparisons to the ne lija barrels and they aren't the same so one chamber is out of spec that woudl be the one that won't chamber a factory round.
sorry if feelings are hurt just the way i see it.
sure glad i didn't jump on the group buy is all i can say. i won't buy a saturn now until i see they have remedied the situation.
Ok, your question is a good one. Take the 6.8 SPC, it had issues cambering heavy bullets. Did they make a 6.8 II with a longer wider? I think the answer is yes and now the issue is resolved but the 6.8 II is not SAAMI but it does what people want and not what it was designed for. I talked to Steve and he is thinking of doing the same for the Grendel and making a non SAAMI Grendel II. Also the Grendel as they are, but a Heavy bullet throat.
My fear with this is if the barrel heats up, the metal expands, and the accuracy broadens on hot barrels. Maybe it will be just a tinnnny bit but as Satern is the expert, I'll leave that up to them to determine. It seems as if there are pros and cons but somebody will not be happy.
