New 18in Liberty barrel and bolt, is this normal for the 6.5G

[BjornF16]

Well, I've been checking the Satern website http://saternmachining.com/home, daily, to no avail: no formal word re the short-throated barrels. Add to this the fact that MidwayUSA.com continues to offer these AR-Stoner 6.5 Grendel Barrels (both 16" and 18" lengths) with Bolt --- despite their Customer Reviews citing the short-throated barrels --- and I must state that I'm concerned.

I've been checking as well...very disappointed with Satern on how this has been handled. I guess XcountryRider was correct in stating that the Liberty "Grendel" barrels have been short chambered for some time.

kd7sxa, my advice to you would be find a gunsmith with access to a true Grendel reamer and have them modify your chamber. There's no telling what the end result will be for those barrels sent back to Satern and "scraped"...(just my $0.02)

...and welcome to the Horde! I see you are from MT...
