Really its no big secret, its FN....
I suspect its a lowest common denominator sort of thing. IIRC, BCM's first offering was an M4 profile also. While most savvy end users have moved beyond the M4 profile, the average shooter has not. Most average Joes still like the cool factor of using something similar to what they see our troops carrying. As an introductory item for a company expanding from parts to complete uppers and other parts under their own "brand", it seems like PSA is definitely taking a conservative approach. It makes sense if you intend to build a reputation for quality products. I'm sure they have learned from the mistakes of others (ie Spikes) and would prefer to avoid the hassle of trying to prove that their product is what they claim it is. If they come out front and disclose the barrel source, they don't have to deal with all the speculation that comes along with a new product and the questions that always arise regarding specs. It appears to me that the disclosure of the barrel source is a good way to obtain credibility for a newcomer.
PSA is not the only one advertising FN CHF barrels now. Spikes Tactical is making lightweight CHF uppers with FN barrels too.
Know your role, and shut your mouth.
