Grendel II chamber

[ThatRandomGuy]

So it sounds like the GII is no worse or better than the Grendel chamber, and similar to LBC. So why all the uproar? If it was "I bought a barrel expecting X chamber and received Y" I get that.

Other than that, i dont see the issue. Am I missing something?

As for the actual chamber, I believe bwaites said it best.

For the uproar, it was because a company was putting out non-SAAMI spec barrels, still calling them Grendels, and continued to even after it was shown in several cases they were not. These barrels caused issues with factory ammo (especially the 120ish grain it seemed). Said company blamed the ammo manufacture, and offered to "scrape" the barrels to a wider chamber to accept all types without issue. That scraped chamber is (to my understanding) what they now call the Grendel II. So it was basically people ordered X chamber, got Y as you said, with the main furor being how the situation was put off on others instead of accepted and fixed to the standard originally desired.
