    Exactly.
    Just like the forge marks on the upper receiver.
    The more important things are the machining specs and materials.

    As far as Wilson and Green Mountain are concerned, AFAIK neither have a hammer forge.
    Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a 4150CMV barrel come from either.

    They are illigetimate weapons that have no real purpose other than to attract retards to the gun community.

    Honestly I was just wondering. I am considering getting a BCM upper. so I want to know as much as I can about a product that I am spending good money on. for example : I know of a manufacturer who is on there 2 barrel manufacturer. the 2nd one is better then the first one. so if I am spending my money I would rather get that rifle. if BCM has been using the same manufacturer for the past X amount of years then all is good.
    Just my way of thinking, I could be completely wrong LOL. that's is why I was asking .

    I agree who cares? I'm sure if it has BCM's stamp of approval, it is a quality product.

    I don't believe either brand makes a CHF barrel either. I just mentioned them because they make a lot of manufacturers barrels.

    To the guys that sill don't know. Read the the first several posts more closely. The question on who makes BCM BHF barrels was actually answered...

I would however appreciate full disclosure (transparency is a popular word these days) as to where they components originate.
    When a company is trying to build THEIR brand name, you NEVER list where products are coming from (even if they are the best in the world) as it detracts from your company.

    I know where most all BCM products come from. That is why my AR's use BCM barrels (as I cannot buy any better barrel on the market in both SS and Chrome lined).

    Just a note, lots of companies source their hammer forged barrels from one source. What matters though are the specs. What GP size was requested? Contour? Chamber? Etc. All of this has to be given to said company. Point being, not all HF barrels are equal IMHO.

    I don't know where it originated, but my light weight BFH was making 1/2MOA to 1MOA groups the other day at the range. I'm satisfied.

    Key holing is a bad thing. That means the bullet it tumbling.

    Keyholing as in stacking bullets on top of on another to make a keyhole like shape. I guess you could call it stacking rounds......I haven't measured group size so I cant tell you what that is.

    We have a tendency to use that term for both.
