    Biggest difference I've seen between mine is that the BCM has polished feed ramps.

    Daniel defense feed ramps are hand polished. One at a time.

    The end answer is that not all hammer forging machines are the same, neither are the chambers are gas ports.
    Stick


    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

    can you elaborate on this as a comparison?

    Not sure what you are saying here. Are you implying a CHF barrel is easier to clean?

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.

    Quite simple. There are companies that make hammer forged barrels and put the specified port size in the barrel. There are other companies that have the finished barrel and they port it in house to ensure consistency. They also hand polish the feedramps and polish the chamber.

    This is my experience. Yes. They foul less, too.

    Daniel defense does it all 100% in house. I mainly am curious what differs about hammer forging machines as Stick implies various levels of quality it seemed based on macbine.

    Interesting. I have never heard that before and I also own several AR's with CHF barrels. Not even sure how that would be possible.

    Especially considering how they are still chrome lined at the end of the day, and that's what is making contact with the bullet/powder/jacketing, not the hammer forged steel itself. I'm not seeing how it would be possible, and haven't seen a difference in my BFH and non-BFH barrels.
