    Re: BCM barrels ?

    Not sure who makes their BFH barrels put I can vouch for their abilities. I love mine.

    Here is a post from BCM on the ARFCOM.

    "As a company policy we don’t disclose information as it relates to sourcing and supply. We do however set a very high standard on offering specific technical information applied across the entire Bravo Company MFG line of products. That information, standards, and specifications are infinitely more important to the consumer."

    "Bravo barrels are made to our specifications and are illustrated in our purchase orders. Whether it is the CMV barrels or the SS410 barrels, any outsourcing is done by industry leading world class manufacturing companies."

    "Thanks for your interest, Paul"

    Here is a link to the thread is you want to verify for yourself.

    Why always a mystery?

    Not to go too far of the subject, but why is it always a mystery? Many companies, including those with outstanding reputations like BCM, choose to keep their sources a secret per "company policy"? Everyone knows their products are outsourced, no one has a problem with that. We all know that the final producer (i.e. BCM) uses a great QC process. I would however appreciate full disclosure (transparency is a popular word these days) as to where they components originate.

    Not the horse's mouth, but I would speculate that it is, in part, to prevent confusion and chaos in the event of a source change.

    Fabrique Nationale USA produces the CMV chrome lined barrels.
    Criterion, (formerly Kreiger Criterion), produces the 410 stainless barrels.

    I'd suspect that just about every hammer forged barrel that isn't a Daniel Defense is FN.
    Would this apply to Noveske as well? IIRC Noveske does the final finishing job on their CHF barrels but they are not originating from FN.

    Threads like this make me smile. It makes "X is better than Y" threads funny. People arguing what brand is better when both companies use the same suppliers.

    The industry is so inbred. Brand X and Y are probably both getting their barrels from Wilson Arms or Green Mountain anyway.

    Except BCM gets none of their barrels from Green Mountain or Wilson.

    Neither does Colt, Daniel Defense, Centurion, Noveske... See a trend here?

    Are you so sure about the last line of your post? How do you know? I know you are wrong about at least one.

    My statement wasn't directed to BCM. Sorry if I got off topic. I was just commenting on the industry in general. None of us know who makes what for who but there is a perceived quality difference in 2 companies who use the same parts. That's all I was saying.

    Talking

    I see this question (Who makes Brand A's barrels?) often on various forums. Why does it matter where it comes from if it is a quality product from a quality company? I am asking out of genuine curiosity.

    It likely doesn't matter. I'm almost certain Paul has his own specs on what goes into a barrel that, no matter who made them for him, they would be the same.
