I today E-mailed an update to my March 10, 2014 E-mail-request to Larry Potterfield:
"Dear Mr. Potterfield,
"To update:
"1, A 6.5 Grendel Forum Member yesterday posted an image of two 6.5 Grendel chamber casts http://tinypic.com/r/hurrtd/8: Top, AR-Stoner chamber; Bottom, Precision Firearms chamber. I think it's fair to state that the difference is glaring, and explains the high pressure indicators reported by those who purchased 6.5 Grendel-chambered AR-Stoner Barrels.
"2, I recently posted an image on our 6.5 Grendel Forum which showed distinct abrasions around the circumference of the projectiles of Hornady factory-loaded 123-grain A-MAX cartridges, which were loaded into an AR-Stoner Barrel I received from MidwayUSA.com: clear indication of a short-throated chamber http://tinypic.com/r/1zup8m/8.
"In view of this new evidence, I submit that the 6.5 GRENDEL ANNOUNCEMENT on the Satern Machining Home Page is a farce. MidwayUSA.com Customers deserve better.
"Sincerely,"
