I just wish BCM would have shed some light on the issue instead of just offering a blanket 'feel free to return it if you're not happy' statement.
I'm sure the discrepancies in length have also cost people a bit of money when they had to pay extra for the A2X to reach 16" when they could have just settled for an A2.

Yeah... okay.
I don't know why you have to bring in Spike's Tactical, RRA, Bushmaster into the discussion. I have more 'top tier' quality parts invested in my carbines then most people on this board.
Responses like this are not befitting of someone tasked with moderating a forum which prides itself on the wealth of information contributed by respected industry professionals.

Because you're not happy with the explanation provided and it would seem the difference is upsetting to you. So rather than you risking being let down again, just get a barrel from another source and be done with it.
Or contact BCM again and tell them to please measure the barrels out and ensure that you get the advertised 14.5".

that extra .2" could be everything legality wise. What if the muzzle device was 1.45" instead of 1.5". Stacking tolerances. When you're dancing on the line of legality, I'll take an extra .1" or two to be safe.

I still agree completely that a company that strives for and lives by such high standards should either enforce those standards or at least inform the consumer of a change to their standards.
I for one prefer to NOT have to relly on 'fantastic customer service' at all because the product was well made and as advertised from the get go.
If the barrels are now all random lengths, what else has been slipping by?
Why some on this sight prefer to ignore inconsistancies from certain companies because the thought of having to include a disclaimer about them when recommending reputable manufacturers to others is either inconceivable or impossible is beyond me.
I guess I should ask has anyone measured other companies barrels and seen if this is a common thing among other vendors as well?
I'd think a 15 inch barrel instead of a 14.5 would be more uncommon but who knows. I just wonder if this is common practice or not?
I guess I've never bothered to measure any of my ar barrels.
Your valuable contributions to other threads stand in stark contrast with your condescending posts in this thread, where you mocked the original poster for asking a legitimate question. "What could have caused this to happen?" and "Have others experienced this issue?" are well within the bounds of reasonable discussion, and as a knowledge-based forum, there are plenty here (myself included) that are interested in the answers.
I did check myself. Quoted from the thread's first post:Also, reference to the bolded part of your response: I'm a street deputy who will also be attending law school for my JD this fall. I think that you would be wise to not call into question my reading comprehension abilities. How about you read the first 5 posts talking about 2/10"?
Check yourself.
If it were just a tenth or two, this thread probably wouldn't exist.

This isn't an illegal gun, it's an "undocumented protection device". Don't be so insensitive.
