Centurion Arms all the way.
Centurion Arms all the way.
The Centurion Arms is the only one that comes with a CHF barrel, is the main thing I notice. Weight-wise, it would sit between the Sionics (which is nitrided but the lightest) and the BCM (chrome-lined, but not CHF, and the heaviest).
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

I have all of them. All 3 are a win.
In my experience, Centurion and Sionics have fantastic customer service. They are like dealing with the local mom and pops store that really cares for its customer.
I have a BCM recce16 with the magnesium KMR rail. Love that gun. I think they are great value for a top tier AR that doesn't break the bank, or need a single part changed.

Had a "jack" BCM that never had issues in the +/- 5k rds I shot in various classes/ranges, gave to my nephew as gift. He put about 7k rds through it before he cleaned it, never failed. So, BCM gets my vote.
I’d pick whichever one I could get the configuration I want - tapered profile barrel and seven sided MLOK rail, so likely BCM. Those two are huge on my list for ergonomics and I doubt that’ll ever change.

My son is overseas so there is no huge rush. I will buy it and sell it to him when he returns.
Not a straw purchase, all laws followed etc, ATF guy
He wants to get ahead of a future AWB II, and not wait for months after he returns stateside.
I personally would buy a Sionics Patrol Rifle 3 with a medium contour barrel and two stage trigger, but its not my rifle.

Andy,
I've owned Sionics ARs with their med-con and lightweight barrel. Both were great no drama guns.
I currently own a handful of BCM 16" ELWs and am very pleased with them. Zero issues.
I prefer the BCM rail shape and finish, and the ELW barrels handle very well.
No experience with Centurion.
I don't think you can go wrong with either, but I simply prefer BCM at this point.
