BCM Stripped Barrels....are they pre dimpled for set screw gas block?

[wahoo95]

Looking to pick up a BCM Stripped Barrel and was curious as to whether they are pre dimpled for set screw gas block?

Have you read their item description?


These are stripped 14.5" Mid Length Cold Hammer Forged Barrels with gas ports installed and dimpled for a strong gas block installation.

Yep, but read it to fast and missed that part right in the beginning.

I will confirm. They are definitely dimpled.

There you have it.
Now place your order before they go out of stock.

BTW, if you order the 20" SS410 barrel they have in stock, it will probably be the most accurate AR you own.
I have a 16" SS410 and I never knew I could shoot as well as I did.

Some additional info:

Single dimple opposite the gas port. This is common practice for barrel makers.

Good gas blocks should have hardened set screws that will nick the barrel, creating a second "dimple" when the screw is tightened.

Personally, I would install and shoot. Then, if you like the setup, have the gas block pinned.

Both my 11.5 BCM BFH and 11.5 BCM barrels came with one dimple for a set screw gas block. I did send them both away to Rainier to have those gas blocks pinned in addition.
