    I think so too! The other day I made a dumb comment about some people on here but most of y'all are awesome and provide amazing advice and information. I wish I had found this place before I bought my first AR.

    Right now I have MOE pistol grips on the lowers but I'll have to put one in her hands and see what she thinks of it. I have a ton of A2's laying around. If she likes the profile then I'll just grind off that stupid little nub that makes incompatible with human hands.

    I'd say build one you're confident you'll be happy with as a very simple, light upper, and see what about it she likes. If that one is totally GTG, clone it, otherwise make adjustments, and in the interim you'll have something you're sufficiently enthusiastic about; that said the above plan will most definitely do.

    Well I'm going to revive this thread for one more question,

    BCM BFH LW or ELW Fluted?

    The ELW is lighter, which fits the profile I'm looking for, but the BFH offers longer barrel life. It feels like either way I go the difference will be unnoticeable to me, but I may be wrong.


    With so many choices its incredibly hard to make a decision.

    The barrel life of one is roughly $8,000 in loaded ammunition, the other is closer to $7,000 worth of loaded ammunition. Choose the profile that makes the most sense for you, at the cost that makes the most sense for you. Just like you said, there are lots of choices; in this case there aren't tons of bad ones. Choosing between two good options means that even the 'wrong' choice is still not a bad result.

    I know the round count required to significantly diminish the accuracy, erode gas port, ect would equal the cost of many barrels.

    You're right, both are excellent. I just wish you could have it all in one.

    Just ask yourself, Lighter weight with greater initial accuracy or heavier weight with more longevity? Me personally I would go with the ELW-F and not be too fussed with the longevity of the throat or bore.

    If Daniel Defense ever saw it in them to offer their CHF nitrided barrels in a constant light weight taper i'd be all over that.

    I've read a few places that BCM is supposed to be releasing a BFH ELW but I'm not sure of the accuracy of that information. I don't want to be spreading false rumors.

    I know the standard ELW will serve me well for my purposes. I just got wrapped up in the longevity of the BFH.

    I haven't seen or heard those rumors - but I'd assumed that as soon as I saw the ELW profiles that there would be a CHF-CL variant of them in short order; just remember that Filthy 14 wasn't a CHF barreled bit of awesome, so if you want something sooner you said exactly the part that matters - the standard ELW will serve you well. If you wind up buying the pair, the second one can be the CHF BFH version and end up becoming more of the high round count cow anyway.
