Hello everyone,
Does anyone offer ar15 barrels chambered in 6mm Grendel? I've narrowed down my next build to that cartridge and would like to pick up a barrel soon. Thanks for any recommendations |

Black Hole Weaponry name was changed to Columbia River Arms they make .243LBC/6mm Grendel Barrels.
Columbia River Arms Configure-Your-Custom-Barrel-243-lbc The 243 LBC is a reamer designed for Black Hole. It was called the 243 LBC because we couldn't use the name "Grendel". http://blackholeweaponry.proboards.com/board/4/243-lbc-6mm Krieger Barrels |

If you mean 6.5mm Grendel, Alexander Arms is probably your best bet.

What's the difference between the 6 grendel and the 6mmppc? I have always had a couple of .243's and never really looked at the slower 6mm's.

Here's a reply for everyone. This isn't the variant forum so maybe I won't get yelled at. AR15performance has 6mm Grendel barrels.
There is also 6mmar.com he has various other wildcats based on the grendel case and a few other cases. |

Update: ar performance only offers 18" length barrels so that's not going to work. Blackhole/Columbia has what I want but they are estimating 8-12 weeks until it would ship. Once again that is no good for me. On the hide it was recommended that I look into the 6 fat rat. I don't really want to fireform but I may be able to get a barrel sooner so that's now a possibility.

Final verdict: ordered a 6 fat rat varmint off Lee. Thanks for all the recommendations and information in this thread. I'm leaning primarily towards young manufacturing for their chrome bolt but plan on doing a little more research.
Cheers |
