Can't speak for the chamber in my older one, as I never had it tested and even worse I believe I shot all .223 through that one.

No, they really haven't.
Well staked carrier keys have been seen, but they're the exception, not the rule.
Receiver extension nuts are staked by request/contract only.
BM chambers are better than many others, and generally okay, but still found with some variance.
Barrels are often installed poorly.
BM still does not install a proper extractor spring assembly except by request/contract.
BM has opted for a standard that satisfies the lowest common denominator of commercial consumer. They are capable of substantially more, but they prefer mediocrity.
They are not unserviceable. They are serviceable with a comparatively greater number of caveats, though.
