Brownells 6.5 Grendel Barrel & Bolt sets
#23
For those who aren't in the know...

As of Oct 11, here was Brownell's description for their Grendel barrels. (as seen in Google cached pages)

Quote:Description
Brownells AR-15/M16 Barrels feature 5R button rifling and are machined from 416R gun barrel steel for a superior shooting barrel. These 6.5 Grendel barrels feature a stainless steel finish, for superior accuracy and asthetics. Barrels has a 1-8 twist, for excellent performance with a wide range of bullets. Available in 18” & 24” lengths. 18” barrel features a mid-length gas system, while the 24” has a rifle length system. Muzzle is threaded for 5/8-24 and the gas shoulder accepts .750 gas blocks. Opposite side of gas port features dimples, so that gas block set screws are secured in place, preventing movement. Barrel includes 6.5 Grendel bolt.

Here it is, as of today:

Apparently it was edited in haste, as they inserted the text mid-sentence.
