Ok,
So I'm looking at an Odin Works Grendel barrel (one of their new deals that comes with their new gas block, and BCG).  Are they GTG?  SAAMI spec, etc?  Also, this is just a range toy.  18" intermediate or 20" rifle?

GTG. I have a 18" and so far its shooting right around an inch. They are a SAAMI spec and use the .136 bolt.  Not much lost in velocity between an 18 and 20 inch.

I'm not happy with mine whatsoever. Sticky chamber, piss poor accuracy, using multiple brands of ammo. I've torn up more than a few cases getting them out of the barrel. They said to fill out a form to send it back.Geez...

I'd have been happy if they said we'll send you a new one with a return label for the shitty barrel. Probably won't buy another barrel strictly from a customer service standpoint. Too many other manufacturers are eager to make you happy.

One man's experience and most everyone I have spoken to or read about has had success with their products.

Thanks for the info.  Is the barrel you have more recent or older?

Might want to double check, but I remember reading they did have a recall in August or September about some of their chambers being bad. Might want to check into it and see if you have a bad one.

I'll be. I will most certainly do that. Thank you

I emailed asking about SAAMI....

"Sorry for the delayed response. I have been trying to track down an answer for you. It seems the question has stumped some of our professionals around here.

We use the SAAMI spec reamer recommended by JGS. If you want to contact them and get a copy of the reamer print, they are generally happy to give that out.

Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with, and again I am very sorry for the delayed and vague response.

I did my first build with their 20" barrel and adjustable gas block and BCG and have been very happy with it, Three shots 100yds Hornady 123grn SST.

Just heard from JGS....

"Trumpet,


   Attached is a copy of the 6.5 Grendel reamer print. Yes we use the SAAMI spec reamer with the double tapered throat, if that is what they ordered."
