I'd pass on this batch and consider one after they figure out the issue.
The reason I'm following the issue is because I've been waiting over a year for my Grendel barrel from them and I am nervous that it won't be correct.
The issue with the "short" chamber isn't an issue... it's a SAAMI chamber, and is quite tight. Cleaning it appropriately and shooting factory ammo has not been an issue for MOST of the folks with the new barrels.
A customer of mine has that exact same barrel I ordered for him, and it shoots both 123 Amax and 123 SST perfectly...
Nonetheless, if there is an issue, sending it back to them for a once over has proven to be fine. They're also running a "SAAMI Grendel 2" style with a longer lead, so you can push the longer bullets out to the lands at mag length.
