One could also speculate that the somewhat worn reamers go to the mass-production line to save a few bucks.
Skipping or shortening the final finish would also explain things.
We need definitive statements from Satern.
The third party comments from one or two folks make for a bad climate. Satern may be innocent of ill-intent, but the resulting chaos is lousy just the same.
I agree. The frustration level is like a roller coaster here. My idea of a fix would be to ream them with a checked, inspected, SAAMI, new reamer. I just posted this in another thread, but it is applicable here too:
"What a Fiasco! After almost 3 weeks after the first inadequate Satern response, and no response since, they are going to arbitrarily ream the barrels into something else, other than a Grendel? There is a difference between a fix and a change. It's almost like I ordered 22 long ammo, was sent 22 short, so the fix is to send me 22LR. At he end of the day I don't have 22 Long. So after the scraping, I am not going to have a Grendel?! I ordered a Grendel...How did RickOshay get his money back? Through the vendor? Maybe group buys do need some guidelines."
