    New Upper Assembly

    Was looking to purchase a new 16 inch upper assembly and was looking at the

    https://shopwilsoncombat.com/Upper-C...F556RCM16RQ8B/

    Or

    https://bravocompanyusa.com/bcm-mk2-...-13-handguard/

    Wondering if anyone has some feedback on which one is the better deal of the two

    Am I just paying the extra 200 for the Wilson name?

    Thanks

    Depends on what you want the new upper to do. Those are two very different barrels.

    How so? Not being funny, just would like to know.

    I want a reliable upper, that won’t let me down at the wrong time LOL

    Like maybe in the middle of a carbine class

    The BCM is cold hammer forged, chrome lined while the Wilson is 416 stainless.

    Does one barrel have an advantage over the other? Or is one better for certain things compared to the other

    I have no experience with Wilson, but stainless barrels are generally more accurate. It should be sub moa with match ammo I'm assuming.

    The BCM is basically the run of the mill government "milspec" type barrel, but is also cold hammer forged which supposedly increases lifespan etc. You can expect 2-4moa on average.

    In that case just save the money and get the BCM or Centurion Arms which was posted above. Apples to apples.

    The Centurion would be my choice, damn fine weapon. BCM would be my next choice. Both are CHF.

    I have an affinity for Centurion Arms, based on responsiveness to customer questions and their being Indiana-based. But BCM is obviously good to go, as well. No need to drop extra coin on Wilson.
