You concern really is not a valid one. The reason why you have not seen any BCM products for a long time is that they (BCM) couldn't not find any barrel steel that would meet their specs. Prior to this BCM got barrel steel that did not meet their high standards and so they rejected it all (on their dime)! :eek:
The consumer most likely would have never known what was wrong with the barrels, but Paul knew. I ask you how many other manufacturers would have done that? The answer is just about none.
I can gurantee that BCM uppers go through more fussing and testing than just about any other upper on the planet. No "first year model car" worries at all.
