    It doesn't change that we are seeing many more CHF barrels on the market due to DD. I would expect it to increase even more in the upcoming year.


    I'm not surprised that they aren't getting them from DD.
    Stick


    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...

    Agree. There are a lot more HFB options available.

    So, Grant, do you think that BCM barrels will fall in line, accuracy wise, with the Noveske N4 Light barrels? But, if the specs on BCM's HFB page are correct, they are going to stick with a 5.56 Nato chamber. So, I guess their intent for their barrel is more along the lines of highly durable, hard use barrel with improved accuracy as a side benefit of the HF process? IF they wanted more accuracy out their HFB, wouldn't they need a different chamber spec? Like, for example, the 5.56 NATO Match Chamber(USMC SAM-R Chamber) they use on their SS barrels?

    I think they will be very close in accuracy.

    I just wish Paul would stop spending my money before I can even earn it.
