Head space seems off
My faxon 18” match series gunner barrel fail to close on a go 1.2201” gauge with a Maxim Grendel bolt. I took it to my local armorer who had a lilja 6.5 Grendel barrel with a toolcraft bcg he cross checked go/no go guages and they functioned properly in his rifle. He also checked my Maxim bolt and it functioned with go/no go gauge with his Lilja barrel. This leads me to believe that the chamber is short. Waiting to hear from Faxon on a solution.
