Wow. Bravo Company never ceases to amaze. Now I need to decide if I should wait for one of these new uppers or just snag one of the regular BCM middies for my next build.
Some one educate me... Everyone is coming out with hammer forged barrels - why do we want them? Seriously, I understand what it means about the difference in manufacturing, I just don't know what we gain.

Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

Yes, but what benefit is derived from a hammer forged barrel?

Ah, okay. Where do they fall compared to regular chrome lined and SS barrels?

The hammer forged process was developed in Germany during ww2 for the MG42 GPMG the cycle rate of the MG-42 is 1200 rpm and could burn barrels up in a hot minute. Hammer forging creates a denser steel structure so it last longer in high volume firing and from rough blank to finished barrel is faster to produce that is the benefits of hammer forged barrels. BR shooters wont touch hammer forged barrels.
Depends on who made the SS barrel and "regular" CL barrel. Rember that not all SS and CL barrels are equal either.
Out of the Noveske N4 Light barrels, I get .75" groups at 100yds. Out of a quality SS barrel, I will get .50" groups. Most quality CL (4150 ORD/CMV) barrels will produce groups around 1.0"-1.5".
