The problem was the result of an out of spec reamer delivered to Lilja. Lilja has taken steps to correct the problem since the first run. Lilja has taken steps to switch to Manson reamers for future Grendel barrels.
The Grendel neck SAAMI spec is 0.300", the first run barrels are 0.296". The throats are long, but according to some calculations I've seen they're within the SAAMI spec, albeit on the ragged edge. Due to commits of a former horde member, there's speculation that this may have been intentional on the part of the reamer maker.
This has been worked off line with the members of the group buy. Dan Lilja has worked with the group buy members individually to make this right.
There's no reason and no plans to bring this online.
