Headspace issues on a 6.5 Creedmoor AR

[anginaprinzmetal]

I am building a 6.5 Creedmoor AR and am having issues w/headspace. I bought a Ballistic Advantage Premium 22 inch heavy profile barrel from E. Arthur Brown with the bolt as they recommended. I put the rifle together and noticed it wouldn't close on new brass (Norma 6.5 and Hornady 6.5), I was just trying the bolt on the barrel. Even when I wasn't planning on it went ahead and checked the headspace. Took the ejector out of the bolt and used a set of Forster Gauges and it wouldn't close on the GO gauge (it obviously doesn't close on the NO GO or the Field ones either). I also tried w/a DPMS bolt I had and it wouldn't close either. So that it seems to me the chamber is too short or the barrel extension is too tight.
Has anyone encountered this before ? If so, any ideas as to what to do? Am I missing something? I will call E.Arthur Brown tomorrow and see if they can help.
Thanks

Contacted E. Arthur Brown and Co today. Nice people. Got an RMA. They will most likely exchange barrel and bolt. Will keep posted as to what happens next?
