I am starting to assemble parts for a new 6.5 Grendel build. I am specifically looking for a 12 or 12.5 barrel but none seems to exist right now in the middle of the price range. I have found no name, house contract barrels and BCA for sale (no thanks). On the other end there are a ton of places that will do a $500.00+ custom piece. All the places I would normally look do not list 12 inch examples which I thought was the prime short length. Ballistic Advantage = bankruptcy Odin works= only 18+ inches Faxon= only 18+ inches Alexander Arms= 11.5 or 16+ Any suggestions |

I checked the EE but not TS. |

$250 with a 8-17 day shipping delay. It's what I may get. I've been wanting to do a 12.5" Grendel for a while now and they are hard to find. https://www.opticsplanet.com/rainier-arms-match-series-6-5-grendel-ar-15-threaded-barrel.html?_iv_caliber-193146313=6-dot-5mm-grendel&_iv_barrel-length=12-dot-5-in&_iv_code=4ZM-ATB-GHBNL5-RAB-M-65G-125-M-NF-BLK |

| I have been looking at These Samurai barrels from Precision Firearms but haven't ordered one yet. I haven't seen a whole lot about them but read good things on 65grendel forums about PF. |

Make sure, as in call and ask, that Precision Firearms has what you want in stock or be prepared to wait a long time for it. |

I your normal places do not have what you seek, unlikely they'll have it too. My experience with them. |

Mine is unreasonably good for the price. |
