If they have 16" Carbine CHF from FN...

I like the heavier profile barrel; not as heavy as an HBAR but just right for me. I have a Colt SOCOM upper/barrel for one of my rifles, and it is my favorite rifle. I am not a fan of the mid-length barrel profile, and have owned two of these uppers. The first was a RRA 16" several years ago, but sold it before BCM came out with theirs. The last one was a BCM 16", and still could not get used to it.
My preference is still carbine style rifle; for me it just feels better, and with a heavy buffer I hardly notice the difference. The only reason I am looking at BCM is that I want to see if there is a difference between the Colt.
Please, I don't buy things because the military has them; after carrying a M-4 for a while, if I had a preference, I would rather have either my MP-5 or AUG for duty use.

They left the A2 loose for me (requested it that way) so I could mount my YHM brake.. :smile:
its got to be a better upper than my 1/9 DPMS Oracle 5.56 upper I just sold for $365 last week..
Taking it out Saturday and will do a post with it..
(side note I have a cheap 6x32 scope sitting here so I will get some GROUPS for you folks too)..

I was going to go with Bravo Company (BCM).. but they would not change the fixed FSB to a low-pro.. that was the deal-breaker for me..
as a side note the barrel where the YHM gas-block is mount was not dimpled for the set screws...
I will test the rifle for function, then dimple the barrel myself..
