I went out and shot my new .264 LBC BHW with a BTE adjustable gas block (I bought two) three weeks ago. Everything performed flawlessly! Gas block functioned perfect and the barrel shot beyond my expectations. It took three shots to get my 100 yard zero and then I shot my first five shot group. First four shots were all touching in a nice little arc, fifth shot went above the arc. I was fighting 20 to 30 MPH gusts at the range, we are not far from the coast. The group was just over 3/4". Not bad for a new rifle and high winds. Needless to say I am very happy! I will be taking it to Idaho for the 4th of July to hunt rock chucks with my uncle who also has a 6.5 Grendel. Did you use the RTV on the screw? Those BTE set ups are like pockets on pants. Uber-cool. Greg

Greg, I did not use any RTV. I was only able to shoot 11 rounds I think before the wind got too bad. I want to shoot some more rounds down range before I use the RTV and "lock" it down so to speak. I love the workmanship. When I placed the order the owner emailed me to say he only had one to ship and that he would have some more ready in a week. He would ship me the one now and a second one later. I told him just to send them both when they were ready. As it worked out, they came seven days later and the same day the barrel showed up after a 17 week wait. It was like Christmas!! It has been worth the wait!

It just acts a very light thread lock. George the owner is a very talented and helpful guy. Greg

Greg, Thanks for the tip. Will use the RTV before I head out to Idaho.
