    Its Chevy v. Ford, it all comes to personal preference. The cheapest price barrel is the one I'd go for in order to purchase optics, accessories, ammo, etc.

    I have and had have barrels in both flavors. Both can last a lifetime but the most accurate CHF barrels I own are a 16in BCM Govt. and a 16in Centurion. Maybe it's all in my head but I can't break 1.5 MOA with my DD but can come close to MOA with the BCM and Centurion. Either way you look at it, their all battle accurate so MOE accuracy really makes no difference. If you want precision then you obviously go with something in Stainless.

    I have several daniel defense products, but no bcm. I'm sure that statistically they are similar, but I prefer dd because they produce more in house, and do a great job of it, vs. outsourcing. Yes, bcm qa and qc is good I'm sure, I just find the personal touches on dd rifles very nice in addition to the in house production being more prevalent.

    Funny, I'm the exact opposite. I had a BFH and it didn't do anything for me but make it heavier.
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    Cant go wrong with either, since both are quality. I would just get the one that is the best price.

    I am currently working on a BCM build. Per Eurodriver's post, it seems as though he is suggesting that a hammer forged barrel is heavier than a standard button rifled barrel of the same length. Is this the case? Assuming all other factors are equal, is there a weight difference between hammer forged and standard button rifled barrels? (ive searched all over and have yet to find any definitive answer to the aforementioned question). thanks!

    Joey, I hope that didn't come across like that. There is virtually no difference in weight between BFH and Standard. I'm strictly speaking LW vs. All others. Per this source (USMC03 is a moderator here) there is a 0.6oz weight increase with a BFH over standard all else being equal on a 16" barrel. In other words, there is no real weight difference.

    Maybe I'm old school , but LW profile barrels are standard profile barrels before the gas port, its only after the gas port that weight changes. Also, Pat Rogers has a Standard BCM Carbine with something ridiculous like 30,000 rounds through its barrel. I'm sure CHF/BFH provide benefits, but I wasn't able to take advantage of them.

    @eurodriver: Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. I see now that you were speaking about the contour of various barrels and not the manufacturing processes etc. Thanks for the info regarding the .6 ounce increase in weight regarding the cold hammer forged barrels. I had no idea there was even the slightest weight increase. .6 ounces isn't much, but its something. carry on!

    I've owned both flavors and can readily take advantage of CHF barrel characteristics. They are MUCH faster/easier to clean if you are OCD, and if you're not, they don't really copper foul and a boresnake handles 99% of it. I still remember dumping a couple hundred rounds through my first CHF barrel and then being amazed as the foaming bore cleaner dripped out clean after sitting for 15 minutes.

    Both are solid. My BCM BFH came dimpled, my DD did not. My BCM BFH seems rougher finish wise than my DD by a tad. Both are solid. Will I get DD over BCM for future purchases... yes. 30$ cheaper for hammer forged from DD than BCM. Would I purchase a BCM again, sure, if DD barrels are out of stock like this last time.

    Shouldn't ever have an issue with either barrel in the end.
    From TOS ... "buy the shit out of that thing, all the mil spec is just nonsense."
