Canadian Made, 5R Guardian and Match Series barrels available now

I would pre buy 2 of them right now if I could. 18.6" Grendel SAAMI chamber, rifle length, with bolts. I'm planning ahead and prefer not to wait for the receivers before buying barrels.

If you built them ahead of time you would ensure I don't give in to that Faxon that's tempting me.

Noted. Are you more interested in Nitride or Stainless?

I would buy a 6.5 grendel 18.6" stainless match series rifle length gas straight fluted barrel right now if you had one.

I have plenty of stuff (enough to complete 4 rifles) bought ahead of time waiting for my NR receiver sets to show up.

All I'm missing is a barrel to do another build in 6.5 grendel. Do you know where I can get a nice Canadian made grendel barrel??? Hint hint

OK that's 3 now... Looking more feasible to run a batch now.

We have plans for these but we are waiting for the NR receivers to start shipping before we produce more long barrels.

What do you all have to say? Should we build some now? Will you buy them ahead of the receivers showing up?

Yes. My build is based on the Grendel and I was planning to buy one from you guys through TNA (who mentioned you'll be offering that caliber) as soon as they become available. Add in some spiral fluting and you have your first guaranteed sale.

With 5R rifling and a barrel profile similar to your .223, that would be awesome!
No expert but a M118LR chamber may be the way to go.

I'd love a 20" but 18.6" can probably work for my application as well

I believe many guys like us prefer 20". Since your .223 barrels are offered in 4 different lenghts, I hope .308 will be offered in 18.5" and 20".

The chambers will be SAAMI 308 Win. MinOAL is 2.490 and MaxOAL is 2.810 where the M118LR is OAL 2.83. Looks like the M118LR may not fit.

Of course the OAL for an AR-10 magazine is only 2.80 so you may have difficulty putting an M118LR cartridge in an Ar-10 magazine.

We will look into 20" barrels. Not a bad idea to offer choices.
