    As far as the bcm vs psa goes, you are paying for quality assurence, brand name and finish. I dont believe that psa gets lower quality barrels from fn.. When dealing with PSA its a hit and miss situation although from my experience ive had no quality or shipping problems, but i know some people have.
    Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying.

    FN makes the barrel to the spec supplied to them by the customer. Two different FN barrels supplied to two different customers does not mean the barrels are the same quality.

    Does it mean the psa barrrels are junk? No. It seems like most people get pretty good groups with the barrels they use and as far as durability, I dont know I havent shot that many rounds out of it to quantify if the barrel is or not. Even so I highly doubt BCM'S barrels are that much better.

    I should have known better to get involved in a "cheapest AR" thread.

    I forgot, FN makes a sh!tty line of barrels that they prominently stamp their name on because someone asked them too.

    I don't think anyone said they were crap, you just cant ASSUME they are the same quality just because they are from the same maker.

    But you can ASSUME they are lesser quality because those barrels go to PSA?

    Companies stake their repretation on the quality of product they put out. Maybe PSA tells them to make their barrels to their spec but I doubt FN would agree to make a barrel that would hurt their rep. As far as the specs go for psa barrels they seem to be the same quality as military contract barrels.

    I shot a couple hundred times, every time I pull the trigger the bullets come out the right end so that's a good thing
