Looking at a Moriarti Armaments complete upper and wonder if anybody here has experience with them. It says chambered in 6.5 Grendel Type Two. Is this SAAMI spec, and will factory Hornady chamber reliably?

I have to ask. Why are you looking at them?
I never heard of them. That doesn’t mean squat, but there are plenty of builders out there. Why this one?
Knowing everthing isnt as important as knowing where to find it.

I have 2 guns I've put together from Moriarti, had no issues. Neither are Grendel though.

They've been around since 2016, and I am on a VERY tight budget. I can get an 18" for $260 and a bcg for $100. I heard some bad things about Radical but bought a 458 complete upper and never had any problems, and I know quite a few who own them and no problems, but don't have the $600 for their own Grendel uppers. And again, what is a type 2 chamber?

A5BLASTER Wrote:The saying type 2 that they use is for the bolt face depth of .136. THIS^^^^^^ Type 1 and Type 2 only refer to how the chamber is cut for bolt face depth. SAMMI has no spec for bolts. Type 1, officially referred to around here as Mk125, and Type 2 is Mk136. The .136 bolt face is the final and correct bolt face for the Grendel as designed.

Catchy sig line here.
FWIW I just picked up a complete 6.5G 12 nitride upper w/BCG from Palmetto State Armory for $280 on sale, but currently out of stock. Their stainless steel 18 rifle length upper is around $350. They have a LOT of positive reviews.
Ive read all the negative posts on Radical Firearms, I gambled on a RF 7.62x39 10 upper minus BCG for $210 & free shipping from AIM Surplus. So far no issues, had it for several years, actually an above average shooter. No loose barrel extension. But Ive heard a LOT of bad feedback on their customer service so if anything goes wrong Im probably on my own. PSA and BCA are safer bets for under $400.

You might want to scratch BCA off that list. Waaayyyy too many members here have had issues with their barrels.
