I'm currently trying to decide between 10.5 or 11.5" CHF barrels for my pistol build (which may eventually be an SBR, not sure yet). It may be suppressed in the future, but not soon, as obviously even if I picked and purchased a suppressor today, it looks like it's taking anywhere from 9-15 months to go through approval. As such, I'll probably use a KX5 on whichever I choose for the time being, as I don't even plan to pull the trigger on a suppressor until early next year.
That said, I've been reading people saying there's no reason to go with something like Noveske CHF when you can get the BCM for less. Maybe that was true at one point, but Noveske's own website shows their 10.5" with gas block already pinned and ready to go for $350. The 11.5" BCM BFH STRIPPED is $310, so I'd probably be looking at $410 once a block is purchased and pinned. The DD 11.5" with pinned LPGB is $330, so why so much for the BCM? I haven't seen any DD 11.5s with pinned GB in stock anywhere, but HAVE found the stripped barrel for $289. So, is there something that I don't know that makes the BCM worth $20 over a DD? I've never seen anyone state a BCM barrel was more accurate than a DD. Would anyone expect the Noveske 10.5" to be more or less accurate than a 11.5" DD or BCM? (I ask because I remember reading posts in the past where people claimed their 10.5" Noveske was the most accurate AR they have ever owned, but I would imagine that was back when John was still around)
