This kit is just gorgeous, absolute perfection so far as I have the ability to detect. Appearance of all metal, barrel, gas block, and gas tube are identical, no color or texture variations. Gas block confused me for a minute as I have never previously had one that came with an inset adjustment screw AND a lock screw on top of it, but got it figured out. BCG is just as good looking but black.
My buddy was practically drooling while he looked at it and a suspect a new purchase in his not too distant future.
The alignment marks on the barrel and gas block were extremely helpful for PROPERLY aligning the gas port inside the gas block, never seen that before. Adding a small set screw dimple would have been a plus.
Pros:
- Gorgeous machine work
- 100% color consistency
- No detectable flaws that I could see.
Cons:
- No instructions for the two screw adjustable gas block for dumb people like me who have never seen one with a set screw on top of the adjustment.
- IMO could use a set screw dimple but this is a MICROSCOPIC con at worst and does not detract from the 100% perfection.

Great price fast shipping
The adjustable gas block was time consuming to adjust could have provided a longer tool

I finished my build with this barrel. It is accurate, although I don't have a stable enough setup to judge the barrel, but I held about 3" at 200 yards, so the barrel is better than that. It comes with gas tube and block. I would buy another barrel from Odin Works.

I avoided this barrel because the price, then after 6 weeks of holding out OP ran 15% so I made the purchase.
My barrel (20" SS) came in flawless inside and out. Beautiful barrel. Shot today at 100 yards to sight in the new build and WOW.
Barrel is sithout question sub moa with Hornady Black rounds. Was amazed at how tight this barrel was shooting. Couldnt be happier with my purchase and believe it's well worth the full price cost.

Very nice barrel, high quality and it is a real value with the included tunable gas block. I can't wait to finish the build and report back the range results. The packaging was solid and included foam protection rings on the ends. The barrel interior is crisp and the outside is machined nicely.
Pros:
- value
- Quality
- Prices well versus competition
Would recommend: Yes

Great quality from Odin Works, and great price from Optics Planet !! Haven't been able to shot long range yet, but can't wait. Barrel came well packaged. The gas block and tube were manufacturered to a perfect fit.

Love this barrel. Grendel II bolt fits the saami chamber. Getting sub moa groups at 150 yards. You can't beat an odinworks barrel. Odinworks is the only barrel I will use, leaves me satisfied every time. Even has decent groups with wolf ammo

This barrel is great. The finish is good, the fit is tight like it should be, and it shoots great. This barrel makes shooting tight groups easy, at 100yds it’s almost stacking 5 rounds in one hole, at 200yds I’m getting a 1.15” 5 shot group or better. If your looking for a 20” 6.5 grendel barrrl get this one!

This is a great barrel if your looking for accuracy. Shooting some nice 1.75” groups at 200yds with factory ammo. Barrel stays cool, finish is great, not to heavy, and just simply amazing. I am excited to see what kind of groups I can get with some handloads.

Item arrived as described; have not taken out to test yet; review is for install and finish comments - there are two options through Optics Planet; one with the barrel and gas block, the other with the 6.5 Grendel BCG, barrel, gas block, and in the case of the 18” barrel set, it comes with a stainless gas tube. This review is for the latter. All parts included: just seat barrel in the upper receiver, connect the gas tube/block, add a handguard, slide in the new BCG. Finish was great—barrel appears flawless-packaging indicates sub-MOA guarantee; some machining marks on the outer side of the tunable gas block, but nothing that should impede operational performance (and it’s not seen anyways after covered by handguard). Roll pin is included to attach the gas tube; an extra set of hands is helpful to keep the tube in place while taping in the pin with a punch before tightening down the gas block. The barrel is marked to align the gas block, which is nice to make sure everything goes on straight. Finished with an Odin Works O2 15” handguard and Odin works thread protector. Appearance of set up looks great in my opinion. As a side note on the O2 handguard, the black finish is a bit darker than the Vltor MUR upper it connected to-not an issue for me, but if looking to have exact match, know that it may vary depending on your upper.
Pros:
- Solid sale price for out-of-the-box Grendel set up
- high quality finish
